Hej Philipus, back in 1995, I was at a wedding in the Dalarna County when I spotted this classic car left in a field . Bought it for the price of a used 40 Summicron lens and drove it back to France. Fuji Provia 100 Hexar AF 1995 Les Courtines by JM__, on Flickr It was good fun but the Amazon was leaking oil seriously ... :-) Cheers, JM.

Advertisement Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Hi Guest JMF, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
philipus Posted August 14, 2017 Share #38282 Posted August 14, 2017 Perhaps some of you could advise me regarding film choice for this. I will be documenting a building and shoot various indoor spaces. Most are lit by daylight and/or artificial ceiling lights (flourescent tubes). I'll be using 120 film only and will probably need fairly long shutterspeeds to get deep DOF. I'll be shooting colour film and would prefer to use films I know, which basically means Provia, Portra or Ektar. I would love to be able to use Ektar for the apparent lack of grain combined with C41's flexibility in post-processing but I'm worried about the reciprocity limitations of that film. Which film would you pick? Thanks in advance Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which film would you pick? Thanks in advance Philip Philip - Cinestill 800T in 120 format should be the perfect choice for this but unfortunately the quality control is spotty and the halos may not provide the professionally clean look that you are after. I would stay away from the portras unless the lightening is pure daylight or fairly weak tungsten as the orange affect from the tungsten is very hard to reverse. Provided that you don't have subjects that are moving. Ektar could be a very good choice, even at really long exposures. The RF only kicks in at about 2 seconds but the published RF adjustments are readily available and rock solid in terms of accuracy. Ektar is very resilient to long exposures. The same can't be said for other C41 films. Even Cinestill 800T has a big question mark when it comes to RF adjustments and the red CC filter needed after about 10 seconds, etc.... So I would go with Ektar. At 4 secs, you'll need 6 secs, at 8 secs you'll need 14 secs, at 15 secs you'll need 30 secs, and at 30 secs you'll need 1:08 of exposure. Not a big deal with a strong tripod. A piece of cake for Ektar. Provia 100F is excellent in that it requires no RF adjustments up to a minute. But the contrast levels may be too high to capture the shadow detail. You may want to give it a try in any case. For an outside-the-box idea, you might consider some properly stored expired rolls of Ektachrome 1600T in 120 format: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kodak-EPT-160T-120-Ektachrome-Tungsten-Pro-pack-of-5-sealed-rolls-Exp-06-1998-/282477884547?hash=item41c4fe7483:g:VtkAAOSwuLZY4NLw Having said all of this, Tmax would be good indoors as it has very good RF characteristics. And you obviously don't have to worry about the effects of the artificial light. But I know you want color....

philipus Posted August 14, 2017 Share #38297 Posted August 14, 2017 Adam, thank you very much. You have read my mind regarding the chromes. I think they would result in quite contrasty images since the celing lights will really beat down on whatever is below causing strong shadows. I will bring a second film magazine with something else in it. Perhaps I'll rotate that mag and shoot some scenes with Provia and some with my new friend XP2 or Acros. But Ektar does seem to be the best choice. I don't think I want to take the risk that Cinestill goes belly up on me and ruins the shots. Best Philip Philip - Cinestill 800T in 120 format should be the perfect choice for this but unfortunately the quality control is spotty and the halos may not provide the professionally clean look that you are after. I would stay away from the portras unless the lightening is pure daylight or fairly weak tungsten as the orange affect from the tungsten is very hard to reverse.

blackandwhite Posted August 14, 2017 Share #38298 Posted August 14, 2017 You guys really are too fast for me ... As I have lots of work at the moment I thought I'd shoot one of these over the date Agfa Portrait Colour film with the very vintage wooden camera I presented, some time ago. And yes, Henry, I have put one roll of this film away for You. If You have a 6x6, or a 6x9 camera ... well any cam that takes 120 roll film , just tell me. I gave the film to the local photographer, simple devellopment, scan of the photo as I have little time for more at the moment. Not a great shot, but I simply love the way this old camera still works. Less side light than the last time, as I put black scotch tape around the back. Some "flare" ( is this called "flare" in English , the way the sun comes in on the bottom ? ), but I don't care. Welcome, dear visitor!

Keith (M) Posted August 14, 2017 Share #38300 Posted August 14, 2017 From my Project "Living Like This" Bride in Bradford, West Yorkshire. UK, Leica M6 with 90mm Summicron lens - wide open at F2. Film is Kodak TRI-X at box speed, in D76 stock. Amazing series, Paul. Judging by the subjects of these latest images, you really must have won their trust. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
