KM-25 Posted December 9, 2006 Share #21 Posted December 9, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kodachrome 25. I have 200 rolls of the last three batches, frozen at -5 F of course. I also like Kodachrome 64, have about 1,000 rolls of that. I don't stock too much 200 as it goes magenta pretty quickly out of date and freezer.

Advertisement Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Hi KM-25, Take a look here Your favourite slide film now. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
telyt Posted December 9, 2006 Share #22 Posted December 9, 2006 Kodachrome 200 Might try Kodak 100G if telyt advises where to get it processed ... It's an E6 film, many more places to process it than K200. It can be processed well or poorly, so a bit of trial-and-error might be in order. If all else fails take it to a store with a Kodak processing contract and let Kodak do it. Or get a Jobo automatic processor and process at home.

cpclee Posted December 9, 2006 Share #23 Posted December 9, 2006 Doug do you find that E100G gives you occassional blue cast like Provia 100F? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telyt Posted December 9, 2006 Share #24 Posted December 9, 2006 Doug do you find that E100G gives you occassional blue cast like Provia 100F? No. The shadow areas are neutral instead of the blue cast I was getting with 100F, and blacks are actually black like Kodachrome's blacks.

cpclee Posted December 9, 2006 Share #25 Posted December 9, 2006 That's nice Doug. How do you find E100G scans compared to Provia 100F? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telyt Posted December 10, 2006 Share #26 Posted December 10, 2006 That's nice Doug. How do you find E100G scans compared to Provia 100F? No big difference, both scan quite well. an E100G scan made with my old Polaroid SprintScan 4000: a Provia 100F drum scan: Provia tends to be really good with the blues and may have a bit more latitude. Overall the E100G gives me good colors from the entire spectrum and those lovely deep blacks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Morrison Posted December 10, 2006 Share #27 Posted December 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kodachrome. Slight Magenta cast but the stability can't be beat. I've got mid-60s slides that have been stored in the hot loft of a barn that show no deterioration. M4-P, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerens Posted February 22, 2007 Share #28 Posted February 22, 2007 As with others I'm a big fan of 100F and 400F as an every-day film. I also like to shoot Velvia on occasion, especially for landscape images. It's kind of a toolbox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmazariegos Posted February 22, 2007 Share #29 Posted February 22, 2007 For me its Provia, I like its sharpness and lack of grain. I shoot just a tad of velvia when in the mood. The other 95 percent is B&W. Regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdai Posted February 22, 2007 Share #30 Posted February 22, 2007 Slides? K100VS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted February 22, 2007 Share #31 Posted February 22, 2007 Anything apart from Velvia :-) Not shot slide film for a while, but Provia and 100G were very good, though Provia could give bluish shadows IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness30 Posted February 22, 2007 Share #32 Posted February 22, 2007 K64 was great however it is out of question in Turkey since its impossible to get it processed unless you want some jerk lab personnel to wash it up and say the slide was expired. I use velvia 50 and i am going to try e100GX once the flowers strat to pop in few weeks here. Doug what do you think about the GX ?

Photoskeptic Posted February 23, 2007 Share #33 Posted February 23, 2007 Velvia. To me the purpose of color is saturation. When I shoot color I want "in your face" color. That's probably why 80% of my shooting is b/w. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gberger Posted February 23, 2007 Share #34 Posted February 23, 2007 Fuji Astia 100. Very fine grain. Not oversaturated. Excellent skin tones. Superb for large scale projection. Disclaimer: Since I don't have a scanner, I don't know how it scans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share #35 Posted February 23, 2007 To me, fine grain and good highlight and shadow detail are most important. Oh, and neutral colours! Of course, if you want more saturation you can do so after scanning, but Astia looks fine as is. I've just got a whole heap from BH Photo of New York, but am also trying a few rolls of Kodak E100G and GX in the green wilderness of New Zealand.

hamey Posted February 23, 2007 Share #36 Posted February 23, 2007 David. I have found 100G and GX are great slide films, but the 100 VS is a bit to rich in colour, ok for overcast days but awful on sunny days. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Albertson Posted March 2, 2007 Share #37 Posted March 2, 2007 Kodachrome at its various speeds---still have a dozen or so rolls of K25 that I'm saving for Spring Training in a couple of weeks. I shoot a lot of Kodak E100G in medium format (K64 hasn't been available in 120 for a couple of decades) as it is the closest E-6 film I have found that has a "look" similar to Kodachrome.

illuminatus Posted March 3, 2007 Share #38 Posted March 3, 2007 Velvia 50 and 100F. I haven't tried 100, but I suspect that it will have a similar characteristic as 100F. Although I like 50, it's not very practical to shoot with it, so I mainly use 100F. I should really try other slide films. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4X5B&W Posted March 5, 2007 Share #39 Posted March 5, 2007 K25 for special occasions, I have some in the freezer. K64 while it's still available.......best match for Leica glass IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
