Advertisement Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Hi philipotto, Take a look here Extreme film recommendations. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Mark Antony Posted May 27, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted May 27, 2007 I'll try just one Fastest. In my experience that goes to Kodak T-Max 3200, which although is in reality slower than box speed can be pushed (according to Kodak) to 25,000 ISO with certain devs. I have shot this film at 12,800 and although the results weren't spectacular, I did at least get some image to print. Â The most extreme film in my opinion is Ektarchrome infra-red. Â Â none of the colours are correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted May 27, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted May 27, 2007 It seems a really good film to play with as it seems quite pliable.... did a quick check of your site, some interseting stuff there . I'll have a good look tomorrow with a bit more time on my hands. This one could be a good one to take down a coal mine....... I am serious here, I got a little shoot in one in a month or two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balanced?NO!  I want your extreme film recommendations.  Which film has/is the most...?  i.e. fastest, slowest, graniest, smoothest, most/least contrast, most/least saturated  can be slide or negative and any iso  Hi Philip,  Have attached a couple of photos, taken using Kodak Portra 400VC.  The first one was taken at 800 ISO. The second was taken at 6400 ISO. Both were processed at 400 ISO at my local lab in Hong Kong. Although there is nothng spectacular attached, they have covinced me that digital is a complete waste of time... didn't realise that negative film had such exposure latitude.  Just push on the camera... and let the lab do the rest!  Extreme film... indeed!  All the best,  Brett.
