Has anyone tried some of the other Rollei / Agfa films now available?

 

The IR 400 is a versatile film. Used it without an IR filter @ 400 and it looks similar to Tri-X, with an IR filter it produces moderate Infra-Red results without the troubles of the Efke Aura

I tried some plain Agfa C-41 bought from a local supermarket last summer. I remember the colours were quite strong and the reds particularly, although the lab that made the prints had their part to play too.

Porta 800 through a 3 stop ND filter on a voigt 25 on an M2.

Is it OK if I say that the color balance / vintage-tinge of the picture of the celtic cross is one of the most startlingly beautiful things I have seen? I love the sky / cross / grass contrast. Modern film, but the output just feels like the picture came from a time machine 50 years ago, but with modern people.

 

SPECTACULAR :D

Here are a few efforts with Efke 25 and Rodinal developer. I processed for 1 hour.

M7 with Leitz 35mm.

I've read some veeeery interesting stuff about Portra 400's versatility. I've read that it can be exposed as low as 100 (or even lower?) and as high as 1600 with good results.

 

But it seems these tests pull and push process the film according to how it was exposed.

 

Have you tried exposing one and the same roll between 100 and 1600 and then developing at 400? If so what results do you get?

 

Edit: Umm, maybe I should have asked this in a new thread; moderators, feel free to move it in that case (and sorry for the trouble).

 

Cheers

I just loaded my L-Flex SL with some Portra 800. The last time I shot this film was the NYC Autoshow in 2010 and it gave me very pleasing grain and worked nicely in my Nikon F3HP. I'm going to shoot more of Williamsburg, Brooklyn with this film before I go to T-Max to see what a Leicaflex can do with its native (B&W) film :-D.

I thought I'd try a roll of Agfa Vista Plus 200 iso. Its actually very nice. These are pro scans of a test film (testing the film, the lens, whether I'd put the new light seals in properly, and whether I could trust myself to automatic exposure - I can't :)). I haven't tried scanning it at home yet. It looks as though there's something to fall back on should Kodak cease production and not sell on their technology.

Well I tried scanning some Agfa Vista Plus 200 and it seems to scan very well.

Epson V700, Epson Scan, Photoshop.

Opening the ketchup images in adjacent tabs and paging them for comparison, I very much prefer your scan to the pro lab version (which has so far been my own experience, also)
