Doc Henry Posted October 31, 2014 Share #21 Posted October 31, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Joe, I bought the last roll at these two addresses below and I kept them in the refrigerator. You're right, I see that there are now 200 but cheapest I use also often Kodak Portra 160 Best Henry Films Negatifs couleurs Format 135 Kleinbildfilm 135 Kodak Portra 160 or 400 Isos has a very fine grain, no need to go down to the low Isos look at these pictures : http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/people/351711-mind-gap.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen.w Posted October 31, 2014 Share #22 Posted October 31, 2014 If you want to print/scan from the negatives of your once in a lifetime holiday five years down the road, you might be in for a nasty surprise. The dyes of cine film "cross processed" in C41 are not long sterm stable. It may be a nice film to play around and experiment but I wouldn't shoot anything where image permanence is a requirement.Joe, thanks, but I would typically scan immediately or very soon after developing. I take your point though, and a good initial scan would then be crucial for archival purposes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmknoble Posted November 3, 2014 Share #23 Posted November 3, 2014 I really enjoy using Fuji Acros 100. I shoot it at ISO 70 and use Ilford developers and fix. Very fine grain, nice to scan. Black and White... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White... That's fine, but the TO is looking for a color film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought a roll from there recently out of curiosity, but am writing this just in case that someone is a big fan of Fuji 100 and trying desperately to get hold of it. Personally I prefer the Kodak look, also because the Kodak consumer films seem to harmonize better with my Kodak scanner. The Fuji consumer CN films have much finer grain and might be technically better films, but for me the color balance and "look" is more important. I agree that one of the Portras (maybe the 400 combined with a 2 stop ND filter for bright light situations) would be an excellent choice for an allround film for travel photography. They ain't cheap, but they are worth every penny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted December 11, 2014 Share #27 Posted December 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) an outside the box idea provided sufficient advance planning time is available: purchase some expired but properly stored old chrome film on ebay. They aren't that expensive relative to current stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
