I'm sorry...but this nice photo looks too dark and too magenta to me. Perhaps I should blame my naughty monitor? :)

Dee, bad weather and cloudy but Kodak well reproduced the pelage color of the first horse

No your screen is not concerned :)

Thanks for your comment

Typical Kodak magenta/reddish cast. Reminds me why I preferred Agfa II and proof that colour appreciation is personal ;) Nice shots though.

Yes Jaap for some pictures, the reason ?

Sometimes it's correct like here :

It was not meant as a negative observation, just a blast from the past for me. I did prefer KC 25 over 100 for the colour, but is was so slow, Agfa II was better to my eye, and the bluish cast of Fuji in some situations really put me off. If there ever was a case for differing mileages, it was the hue of slide films.:)

I agree.

 

Koadachrome 25 was fantastic but unusably slow with out a tripod, or fast lens is bright light. Never took to Fujichromes of various sorts, lurid greens & blues. Ektachromes too flat & blue. Never used Agfa slide films.

 

Kodachrome 64 underexposed 1/3 stop was my staple slide film.

I seem to remember all tranny film as being rather intransigent. Once (upon a time) we owned a photo business and were an Agfa lab, we and processed E6 film in-house (our own and other photographer's work).

We always thought that the tranny film Agfa produced required the least compromise regarding colour fidelity (i.e. was the least difficult to get on with).

We almost never chose to shoot Kodachrome back then as, obviously, we couldn't process it and the colours seemed....odd.

Hi Gentlemen , having photographed with 2 M CCD camera, I think the general rendering of Kodak film

and specially color, any kind of confounded film , are quite similar , normal for Kodak that makes sensors :).

Thanks for your advices and for looking.

Best regards

Henry,

 

yes, the color cast reminds me very much of the album design of the 70ies when we collected pictures of horses. The lens is superb and its potential to show things almost threedimensional.

Thanks Iduna for your comment. Yes, the charm is a bit retro feeling :D

Film has more relief (3D) than digital Iduna :)
