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

If I remember well, this was Tri-X, but stand develloped in Tetenal Paranol S in a 1:100 dilution for one hour and 15 minutes, Henry. I'm a bit upside down with work and in the evening and on rare moments of "freedom" testing this and that so I do not always remember what film I used . For a couple of days now I write down everything - so that I can learn from good moments aswell as from mistakes. I did use some old ( 20 years old...out of the fridge)  Ilford and Kodak films recently, so You might be right. I am concentrated on the cams I use  - Rolleiflex, Yashicaflex ( also a terrific lens in my eyes, though I had to clean it a bit ) , my dad's Voigtländer and the Leica of course. I am trying to find out what camera / lens / format fits best to my ideas. So most of the time I stick to the Kodak Tri-X, not to get too confused. But I happen to use the older films when test-shooting a "new" cam friends give to me. In case they would not work fine. Mostly they do - even after decades. I'll try to be more rational. It won't be easy, as I still do not know whether I prefer stand devellopment or short time devellopment , Paranol ( softer) or Kodak jelly 1:63 ( more "hardcore") . I'll do my best to take notes in the future.

Here's a Tri-X 400 pic in HC110 in a 1:63 dillution, Voigtländer Bessa from 1948. It is a scan of the film, I shot it 2 days ago and my wife scanned the negatives.

Jean-Marie, I like much , very relaxing picture under heat wave like currently in France (38°C)  :)

Thank you.

I see you told that your wife do the scan. You don't have scanner ?

I haven't visited this thread in a couple of months. It must be the biggest thread on this forum - it's huge, and fast moving.

 

Here's one of mine. Shot in May 2017, in Glasgow. Leica M4 and 35mm Summaron F2.8. I think this kind of shot is where film works well. Any time I shoot into the sun on a digital camera, it's nigh-on impossible not to get a big blown-out highlight at the brightest spot.

 

Cheers!

You're right about image taken against light. Less success with digital

All is dark even in color in foreground ! I know that  the situation is difficult but with

film it works , and pictures of Ian, yours, Wayne,Philip, Chris and many other contributors

here are proofs.

 

Film has better dynamic , supports better light , by reproducing all the details and

also all the color in the shadows. Also all the details in the shadows in b&w picture 

Regards

Henry

What developer? (I have a roll of HP5+ in the Nikon F that I am exposing at 1600 and planned to develop with Ilfotec DD-X.)

For Colin,  I posted again this picture taken with my

 

MP and Kodak TMAX 400  and only the Summicron 35 Asph

any correction

 

The sun is straight ahead me in the upper right . This is my intention :)

and look at the detail of the flowers , it remains intact and  with  good definition,

we distinguish well separately each flower with all its details.

 

Amazing film !

and crop 100% in the middle , for details in the shadows.

In passing savor the silver "natural" grain :) not coming from any software  :angry:

Thank you kindly, Henry.

 

If you, or anyone else is interested, here is a little piece I wrote for the excellent Leicaphilia site - http://leicaphilia.com/leica-monochrom-vs-a-leica-m2-and-tri-x/, on the subject of film quality.

 

Very best wishes all,

 

Colin

I read the article earlier and have always wondered if both prints were digital, i.e. was the print from the negative created through use of a digital scan of the negative?

 

Thanks for the photos, and the link to the article.

 

Best,

 

Wayne

Yes I agree Colin .

 

In addition , for Monochrom , film has more "consistency" ,  more "relief" ,  not "flat" (everywhere is

sharp > that's the reason of "flatness" of digital> software of camera is stupid) no "nuance" * , not a synthesis image

directly coming from a "robot" camera .

 

In first glance , when watching digital pictures , it's impressive (... and convenient I admit the only ptactical reason IMO)  but you lose in  "soul".

 

For color , it's not the same color (look at pictures of apple blossom trees I posted above)

https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/205842-i-like-filmopen-thread/?p=3299090

 

Those who photograph in color the two systems have you compare ?

 

Best

Henry

 

* valid for color and b&w

Good point - the analogue shot was printed by me in the darkroom, onto fibre-based paper. So there was no computer involved. But the guy I use (Deadly Digital, Partick) for digital prints is very very good. He prints onto a very nice archival paper called Museum. It's slightly off-white, and with a bit of texture to it. The blacks and mid-tones are sensational.

 

So perhaps not exactly comparing two identical end-products. But when I've scanned my negs, I've used a Hasselblad scanner and got the very best quality, just short of a drum scan. Even on a computer monitor, the film shot seems to have the edge on the M Monochrom shot. Not for detail, but just for the general feel, the warmth of the image.

Colin , the best and the final result of film is print  :) , in b&w print is wonderful 

no equivalent  ... and you enlarge ,  after frame and hang on the wall :)

 

I believe that here Chris and currently Neil made the comparison

Your artice is interesting .Thank you for the link
