Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

We have at home a framed darkroom print I made of this at the time, which I've always liked. I'd never attempted to scan it before but I decided to today. It took a while to find the negative, then it needed a wash, but here it is. My observation is that, while it is possible for a reasonable wet printer and an OK photoshopper to get something that looks pretty similar (keeping in mind that the 4000dpi TIF looks much better than this compressed jpeg), the wet print wins every time. Sure I can eke more tones and shadow/highlight detail out of the negative in photoshop, but the "feel" of the print just can't be emulated digitally:

FE2 - T-Max 100

In the Himalayas. Not sure what this really is but it surely has some religious-spiritual meaning, perhaps something like a shrine...

Is it just my eyes or does the new Ektachrome look duller than the previous version? I don't mean to critique Adam's photo, but when viewing photos with the new Ektachrome I get the feeling that I had when I compared the previous, luminous and lucious, Velvia 100 with much flatter Velvia 100F. It's a bit like viewing a photo in Adobe RGB vs in sRGB somehow. The old Ektachrome 100 was one of my most used films in the 90s and 00s (my lion photos are with Ektachrome for instance) but I don't recognise the muted palette at all. The current version also seems to drop off very abruptly in the shadow department which is also something I didn't see with the previous one. 

Scanning and putting it on the internet takes something away. My suggestion would be to try a roll yourself and let us know here what you think. My general feeling is that you don't get the drift into blue/green that you got with the old Ektachrome. Some liked it, I never did. I think the color drift is much better than Velvia and there isn't that oversaturated look. I am, however, interested in hearing your view. My "kibbitzing" with Adam on his pushing is just having some fun, since I know he loves to do that type of thing as well as take long exposures, which, btw, you don't have to adjust for a drift with Ektachrome.

A slight switch of gears for me in this "dark shadow period" of the.... (no not our politics 🙄)....winter...

Here's one from Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village on a sunny Fall afternoon.

Great shot, as always, but I am getting tired of the Portra pastels, which has nothing to do with your photos just using this pic as a jumping off point about the film. I can in Capture One adjust the color curves to get a different, less pastel look, but this is what I like about Ektachrome -- and yes it would be better at 400 and with the latitude of portra, but then it wouldn't have the positive aspects of a transparency (including the cleaner scanning).

Now this is really cool, I love the dreamy result. What is an acrylic lens?

 

Thank you Phil,

I use the Subjektiv. There can be changed the lenses (pinhole, zone plate, glas lens and acrylic lens) The acrylic lens is a simple plastic lens like in the Holga cameras. Sharp in center and very soft in the edges.

Hey Steve ( @sblitz ), does Ferrari make an SUV resembling a Jeep?  🤔 How else can your logic explain these colors with a one stop push of Ektachrome?  😉

I do not care about the car: I just see a beautiful codriver (or driver) for a Ferrari, Jeep or whatever
