Your favorite color film

Kodak Porta 400 is nice and very versatile exposure-wise. But I'm generally a bit disappointed with the how it scans.

 

At the supermarket Hema here in Holland they sell rebranded Konica SR 400 which is all right and dirt-cheap.

 

Provia 400 is currently my favourite colour film.

I'm digging Kodak Gold 100 recently. An underrated and inexpensive film.

 

I liked Ektachrome 100G as a Kodachrome substitute, but haven't decided on its' replacement. Slide film development is getting too expensive anyway.

 

Ektar can be nice in good light, but I sometimes get a funky blue tint.

 

Porta 400 is a good all rounder, albeit somewhat expensive.

My current favourite is Ektachrome E100G, now unfortunately discontinued. However, reading the writing on the wall about a year ago, I have built up stock of around 350 rolls of E100G in 35mm and about 200 rolls in 120 format. At my current rate of "production" this stash should last 18-24 months. After this stock is used up I will either start testing Fuji's offerings or start feeding my M4P and my M6s Tri-X/HP5 Plus...

Colour - Fuji Reala for prints and Fuji Sensia for slides. Sadly both now discontinued. As alternatives Kodak Ektar and Fuji Velvia 100.

I still prefer slide film when working in color.

 

So do I. I can't stand Ektar, which seems to be the only Kodak film readily available here now, but will use Portra at a push if using C41. I always found Superior to be difficult to scan, but maybe I ought to try again. NPH 160 and 400 were quite nice films - I'm not sure if these are still available.

 

But, there was nothing to beat a properly exposed Astia slide. Beautiful colour and dead easy to scan.

 

I tend to stick to B&W when shooting film these days, but do have some colour stock in the freezer that I ought to use up.
