    He has a long history of anti film posts.

    Looks to be a bit cramped for coating and tray processing.

    Love these results. Looking flare to some 1600 samples.
  5. Dave Luttmann
    Exactly. This is the same for Ilford’s Pan F 50 which is a beautiful film, but still less forgiving than say HP5.

    While I do miss the vibrant colour of K64, I always found Kodachrome to be rather grainy.

    Look, you grump about film constantly. Take your whining elsewhere…it isn’t what this forum is for.
  8. Dave Luttmann
    60%? I’ll stick with Kodak and Ilford
  9. Dave Luttmann
    Looks wonderful!

    Thanks everyone! Good info here.

    What is your favourite film, when you want extreme grain, but soft… not crackling sharp? I’ve been playing with various ideas for a project, but I thought I’d check in.
  12. Dave Luttmann
    Very true. Nothing “apparent” about it. The film volume increase has been discussed by Kodak, Fuji and Ilford.
  13. Dave Luttmann
    I use those folks in Victoria.

    Film volumes are way up over the last few years for both processing and raw films sales. Been interesting hearing about this from friends in the industry. Should be no surprise though…I see more people out with film camera now than I did a decade ago.

    His post was from 7 years ago…this is a zombie thread

    I’ve had no issues myself with the 110 b&w film. Seems to work just fine. The cartridges they used on some of the runs had the wrong tab...fooling some auto cameras to think it was a 400 speed film...thus the requirement to push the film...which despite some comments, works just fine. I process in ID11.

    There is a lot of truth there. Detail is indeed lost with Bayer interpolation. I find that it takes a much higher rez DSLR scan to equal a lower rez standard scanner. That is based upon my testing anyway.

    RPL is great for colour and b&w. I used them for years and they are first rate

    I find HP5 pushes beautifully to 1600 and even 3200 in DDX and Microphen.

    I recently picked up the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Pretty decent camera now even compared to my Xr. I also carry a Rollei 35 and rolls of Ektar 100. I did a test print with the iPhone and I can turn out a very good 11x14 print with it. Sometimes that’s just enough for what I need.

    Such a shame. This was my main film for wedding work. We were discussing this on a Facebook film page I run and I estimated I came in around 20,000 rolls of this and it’s predecessor NPH 400 during my career...and never got a thank you card from Fuji

    Pushing film rating in processing is no secret. Your digicam is irrelevant to the discussion. Pushing film is easy.
  23. Dave Luttmann
    A two stop boost is easy with both color and b&w. Tri and HP5 at 1600 is easy. I have often pushed Astia 100F to 400 iso with no issues at all. Not a lot at all.
  24. Dave Luttmann
    Financially, I agree. I buy my b&w in bulk...and it’s cheaper than c41. My Fuji X-Pro 1 at 16mp can’t resolve all the detail and grain from fine grained 35mm film. In most cases, 24mp is sufficient, unless one is using Fuji Astia 100, Velvia, Adox CMS 20, TMax 100...and other fine grain b&w on contrasts subject matter. In real terms, you’ll need more than 24 mp from interpolated Bayer data. Still, film has its own look that cannot be relocated by software...so I’ll stick with it for now.
  25. Dave Luttmann
    Hmmm...like Portra? I can’t think of anything. Films that I have used for portrait work include Ilford FP4, Ilford HP5 and Ilford XP2. Depends on the look you want. They all have different grain and contrast.
