john_shaeffer1 0 Posted May 31, 2004 So somebody else uses MXII film. Where did you find it? Seems like MXII was some mutation of the old Konica VX film, although the MX tends to be less grainy. Tends toward blue and pink tones unlike most other consumer films that are either big time red and gold (Kodak) or green (Fuji). I still have copious amounts of MXII in 400 speed and 200 speed but fear I will run out someday and will be forced to go convetional. Like the photo by the way! Link to comment
igsman 0 Posted July 4, 2004 Thanks, John, A local photo store guy gave it to me to try it. I hate to go back and tell him that I didn't like the results very much, but I am a little disappointed in this film's performance, especially with greens. It does have a pinkish cast and the colors overall are kind of dull. Link to comment
john_shaeffer1 0 Posted July 11, 2004 MX film is repacked Konica film--Konica tends toward pink in most of its 400 iso versions that I have used. I like the VX Konica and MX Mit films for P&S pics. In the consumer film arena there are not a lot of great choices in 400 film. Kodak 400 is trash and Superia 400 is INFERIOR to CZ 800 (Superia or Press). Konica takes up the slack here. Since I use the 400 film in older P&S camera that don't have a film speed setting more than 400, I have to thank Konica. Good luck with your photography and thanks for your response. Link to comment
