As a sidenote I must also point out how much I like 'Poundland' film (AgfaVista 200) – in fact, I prefer it, in the main, to the saintly Portra. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted June 14, 2015 Share #5103 Posted June 14, 2015 That said, I'm also finding myself increasingly dissatisfied with my venerable Monochrom for my more 'serious' stuff (for reasons I can't fully fathom but I think it's the clarity and resolution – just too much of it – and, for all the so-called "malleability" of the files, the tonality just often isn't right) and find even 35mm ISO 400 film is doing the trick. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted June 14, 2015 Share #5110 Posted June 14, 2015 Ian ... but I think pictures are prettier in general rendering on (silver) paper (vs MM) through an enlarger (not a inkjet printer and PC) I'm not sure it comes down to the paper or the method of putting the photograph on the paper – after all, it is easy to get C-type fibre prints made from digital files (including the Monochrom) and, conversely, film can be scanned and printed on an inkjet – it seems more fundamental to me than that. It is a difference in basic tonality and the balance of clarity and detail, no matter what the viewing medium might be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share #5111 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Ian, I will show you (but difficult for me , I sold my Epson flat bed scan V700) that the same picture enlarged with my Focomat on silver paper (Ilford paper) is better in rendering and may be sharper than the same printed in inkjet by my Leica Lab Center ... and with a bonus : no smooth edges and lines of digital It reminds me of the thread on the scanners that we did together several years ago ! Best Henry ...... the printing process is not at all the same as how to make the photographic paperWith the silver layers of photographic paper (as in the negative) the "printing" or the "sensitization" result is between the silver layers coming from the (light) of the enlarger. For the inkjet it's only a deposit of the ink on a single plane of the paper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_paper and this link translate by Google https://translate.google.fr/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.studio-plus.fr%2Fphoto-argentique%2Fle-papier-photographique-argentique.html&edit-text= I hope it works , otherwise copy the original link below and go to "Google translation french-english" : http://www.studio-plus.fr/photo-argentique/le-papier-photographique-argentique.html Edited June 14, 2015 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam, your remark is right but it is a simple inversion I should have said : " M9 is very close to the color of the film" (you can tell me that this is normal) ... because the sensor is manufactured by Kodak For the picture ,"the eye of the master" ...
