otto.f Posted February 22, 2015 Share #3261 Posted February 22, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ladies and gentleman, I'm happy to announce yesterday's acquisition of a shining M4 (with a Summitar 1946) with a very good sound and smooth feeling for a happy price, which I expect to be the restart of my film photography. Hope to post something special in that sense in the future. I discovered a Provia400 in the refrigerator (cooled, not frozen), must be 8 years old. I'm curious... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruniroquai Posted February 22, 2015 Share #3274 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Is out there any professional photographer living from film? Not only "art photo". I'm leaving in a few weeks to South Asia for a 6 months trip and would love to carry just film M camera... later try to make some book, exhibition and go to agencies and newspaper or publications for show them my work and who knows! How big You can print from a Ektar 100 against a M9? Anyway I like much more a portra, ektar or slide than what I can get from any digital camera, but seems to be is an anachronism use film these days. This is a an spiritual and pleasure travel, I need it, this the most important thing. Thanks! Edited February 22, 2015 by bruniroquai Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atufte Posted February 22, 2015 Share #3275 Posted February 22, 2015 Hi Bruno I still do jobs with film, if it's not a "rush" job and the client wants it I do it with a big smile on my face...my experience is that more and more clients want the look of film, and the grain prints so good, if the scan is good, do not worry about that...(I do think that a film scan looks like shit on a monitor/screen, but when printed it "comes to life" and looks just superb...with digital it is the other way around...)

Hi Very good idea I just returned from a humanitarian mission (1 month) and I brought my two M7 and my M8-9 as feed back. The photos are really better than digital for color I advise you to buy before your departure Portra 400 (I use the most) and some Portra 160 . For b&w take Kodak TX400. In any case, that's what I brought with me.

This is a an spiritual and pleasure travel, I need it, this the most important thing. Thanks! Assuming the negs are scanned adequately, you shouldn't have a problem. With 130MB+ tiff files at 4000 dpi you should be able to print as big as with an M9, possibly even bigger. I have printed 36"X48" on Fuji Flex and Kodak Endura using an Oce lightjet printer with no problem. If the scans aren't of sufficient quality, the publications with which you submit the files may snicker and reject them for being of inadequate sharpness and clarity. They are used to seeing digital files and I have had experiences in which they seem to apply a superficial filtering review process that rejects files that are either too small or too grainy. So I would recommend that you make sure you have a good scanning workflow lined up after your trip. And after such a long trip with so many shots, I would think that you would need to be prepared to scan the negs yourself; otherwise, you'll pay a fortune to get decent-sized files. This will take A LOT of time. It really isn't all that much extra time if you are able to multitask and be efficient. Good luck and have fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruniroquai Posted February 23, 2015 Share #3280 Posted February 23, 2015 Alex, Henry and A miller, thanks a lot for your comments. I have a Coolscan 9000 and maybe in the future will buy a Hasselblad X1 or creo IQSmart 3 Is it better to buy a good printer machine and do it yourself? For exhibition I meant. Perhaps a M9 in the future is a good idea or some CaNikon but for now I would love to try the film path. TX is my choice for B&W and Portra for color, do You know a good shop for buy color film? M6 and 35 cron asph, nothing better! But I'm regretting after sell my T3, Minilux and GR1V... Someone advice me bout carry a small digital like a x100 or gr1v but I don't feel comfortable mixing difi and film, I don't know feel weird. However for Next project... 6x6/7!
