MrMeowMeow posted:Someone on here recommended Fuji 800 Pro Z as something nice to pick up, so I'm going to go get some tomorrow and I was wondering if 1600 color film exists, and if so, what kind should I grab? Right now in Japan, Fuji makes 1600 Natura. From what I've heard and the little I've seen, it's pretty amazing for a 1600 color negative film. Whether you can import it, hard to say. Ask your local camera shop.

I just started shooting film on a serious amateur/semi-pro basis. Shot the following on Fujicolor Superia 100 @ 80, Nikon F5 with a 35mm f/2 manual AI lens. Scanned with a Nikon Coolscan 5000. Straight scan, no color correction, just a minor tweak in brightness. Still working out the bugs with the scanner and my technique.

Charlie Bubblegum posted:I'm going to a carnival/fair next weekend but have no experience shooting night time shots on film. Can anyone reccomend me a film I should be using to take pictures in such an environment at night (without a flash). I'm aware that a lot of people shoot up to 1600/3200, would these sort of ISO's work for me at night? Also I would like to shoot in colour if that helps! Fuji Superia 1600 is pretty decent for a fast color negative.

Charlie Bubblegum posted:Thats cool I've seen some okay prices for that too so I'll get a couple of rolls. What do you do about light metering at night? Is it best just to set it to over expose? I only use the in built light meter on my Fujica STX-1 and I've never shot night before I usually just set it to 1600 and use center weighted average. Seems to work alright for me. EDIT: Just read a little bit more about your camera, and from what I gather, it averages out the light in the lens. In your case, I'd probably recommend that if you're gonna have it at box speed, overexposure your shot by 2/3 or 1 stop if most of your scene is dark.

Nope, cinema filmstock is no more prone to fading than standard C41 filmstock... unless we're talking about Kodak's cinematographic film offerings from the mid 70s to 80s.

RustedChrome posted:I took my M6 with me to Tokyo last month and picked up a 5-pack of the new Portra 400 to try out. I headed out from my hotel on a sunny morning, getting some skyscraper shots on the way to a nearby park. When I got to the park and prepared to frame a shot... nothing but blur! The glass eyepiece on the viewfinder had somehow come unscrewed as I was walking and fell off!. Wait, are you near/far-sighted? Then that glass eyepiece is a diopter. http://www.mapcamera.com/shopping/s...&class=&x=0&y=0

I'm glad I still have mine, but I wonder if the lenses are gonna go away or if they're going to keep producing them. I guess now's a good time to replace my neutral diopter since I lost the original at a film festival in Japan.

ansel autisms posted:Cinestill is stupid, long story short it's a crappy version of Portra. Cinestill 800T is just 5219 though, which is way better than Portra. Honestly, I'm thinking people have been having a hard time with it because it's designed to be developed in the ECN-2 process, which is similar to C41 but uses Color Developer 3 rather than Color Developer 4. The difference? CD3 is a flatter developer than CD4, so it's probably way more contrasty than it was intended if you dunk it in C-41 chemistry. I'm also thinking that people are rating it too high, and should probably be rated at 320. VoodooXT fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Apr 11, 2017 |

Portra 800 was from the generation before they started incorporating all the advances with Vision stock into Portra film, so it's definitely grainier and more contrasty with less dynamic range than 160 and 400.

Yeah, if you're worried about agitation, just go with stand development. Otherwise, developing black and white is easy and the agitations/inversions is no big deal. I was worried when I first started but it's really hard to mess up.
