Understood. We have to keep in mind, though, that actual analog prints will always produce a much finer grain. While I scanned the negative at 4000 dpi and produced a 150mb or so tiff file, there invariably are some digital artifacts that can't easily be removed or masked. I have been very impressed at the prints from the lab from this film as well as the 800T, and would encourage others to try this as well.

And the examples shown on the website could be more compelling, IMO.

That lens seems remarkable. I wonder how my modern 50 summicron compares (last pre apo design).

If you haven't already, you might like to submit your images to the cinestill film site.

Hi Pete - I'm sure your 50 cron will render beautifully as well. The DR cron is really wonderful, and now that I have gone almost entirely to film I find myself using it a lot more than the 50 summilux aspherical, which i know is strange. Not to take anything away from the film, though, which is very good.

While this is true, I actually like the accentuated grain that comes from the scanning process - it can be a little 'dreamy' in comparison to the super-smooth lab prints.

 

I really like your images - you have a great eye.

Steve - Thanks a lot. While I'm sure there is plenty of film to go around, I did make sure that I ordered another 5 rolls before posting these images :D :D

 

Plasticman - Many thanks and I don't disagree with you about the accentuated grain, particularly with regard to some B&W films, such as Ilford HP5; here's an example of what I mean (from a morning last week just before dawn):

The accentuated grain provides a dreamy, almost foggy look, even though there wasn't any fog at all. Just a cloudy cold morning not worth waking up at 6am on a vacation week :mad:
