Keith (M) Posted February 18, 2016 Share #61 Posted February 18, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) In comparison with the thread title, I only had a gap of five years in between rolls of film - but something like a twenty year hiatus in developing my own film. Luckily I had stored the changing bag, tanks, measures etc etc in the loft just in case... Starting out with a roll of Kentmere 100, a shot of St Michael's Mount in Cornwall (M7, ZM Biogon 35mm f2). Nowadays for ISO 100 I favour Acros 100. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

philipus Posted February 18, 2016 Share #62 Posted February 18, 2016 Hi Adam, thank you for writing back. No need to worrry, I didn't take it personally about Superia. I may shoot mainly Fuji but I'm always interested in trying new emulsions and fully respect other people's choices in this respect. In fact as a result of your regular use of Ektar and the results you've posted I will be trying that in the near future in both 135 and 120. brPhilip Philip -I appreciate what you have said. And I recognize the superia (which is one of a number of film stocks that Shiva has posted photos of on this forum over the past few months) very much arguably not "cheap drug store" film; so no disrespect to you and your photography, or anyone else for that matter. And my views on film stocks and the use thereof should obviously not in any way be translated into any kind of personal offense on anyone.I will emphasize again, though, that my comments above should really be taken by the OP in the larger context of the great many very positive and encouraging comments that I have made to him on his ascending glide path back to film. It is not worth the time to dig them up and post them here, but they are there. It is a shame that broader communication flows are not pieced together more often.And no need to apologize for the comment about Ektar. It is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I am most certainly not offended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted February 18, 2016 Share #63 Posted February 18, 2016 For my part, I think it's good that Shiva is shooting film, and it's great that he is enjoying the experience. I like what I see, and that's good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted February 19, 2016 Share #64 Posted February 19, 2016 Yes I'd be obliged if you did in fact leave me alone. I don't belong to this forum for such passive aggression. Thanks. Ps. Post photos and not shit about film stock. Apparently having a different opinion here makes you the back one. You should be reminded that this is the technical section of the forum, and it wouldn't be doing its job if a questionable idea (as perceived by another forum member) is allowed to stand and an alternative or better idea is censored by the OP. These threads are not to have your opinion verified unquestioningly, but have the topic and it's subsequent strands discussed. If you want praise alone why not post your pictures in the Photo Forum instead (there is very little debate in the PF, so everything is 'awesome' and should keep you happy) and allow an uncensored discussion to proceed around technical matters here?

250swb Posted February 19, 2016 Share #65 Posted February 19, 2016 Like I said more than once, if you don't have any first hand experience... im done with this dumb conversation...have a good day. You may have overlooked the fact that I can turn my scanner down to make 6mb scans, and then turn it up to make 34mb scans, so I can see the difference in quality. You don't need to own a Pakon scanner to understand it's specifications. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to receive technical info but to say a pro film is better than non pro film is not such advice. I already know that as do most. Perhaps you should have read all the comments before chipping in. No one wants praise alone... We aren't children. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 19, 2016 Share #67 Posted February 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) IMO the line between friendly advice/encouragement and simply pissing on someone's parade isn't that fine yet so many can't seem to help straying into the latter territory.

A sense of knowing everything? You are behaving like a child. This sweeping self satisfied attitude that a forum contributor can't offer a better alternative to people who may naively think they can get away with your ideals is arrogant at best. If photographers use film they are investing a lot of time into their craft, and possibly going on long and expensive trips from simple days out to holidays without the option of reviewing their decisions on the spot. So if you like cheap film so be it, but try and show some compassion for photographers who may be taken in by your personal likes against what could be called an 'industry standard' that wouldnt f'up their special event, day out,or holiday. Stop trying to censor opinion. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is the danger with forums, too many armchair photographers, concerned only about equipment and charts. I'm done and request this thread be closed.

Keith (M) Posted February 19, 2016 Share #72 Posted February 19, 2016 Come along gents, one and all. This is the film forum and film is what we all enjoy using. No more ad hominen posts, let us concentrate on examples of how we enjoy the end-product (whatever the base material may be). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted February 19, 2016 Share #73 Posted February 19, 2016 Gently, gently, please fellow film buffs. I haven't read the entire thread but am just responding to a report that courtesy towards each other may be slipping. My brief read of recent posts would support the observation so please tidy up the attitude towards each other. We all have varied preferences about film. So be it. Probably nobody would agree with mine but it matters not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honcho Posted February 23, 2016 Share #74 Posted February 23, 2016 Wife and number 2, Mr Grayson. He will most likely get the M6 one day. Number 1 will have the MP ;-) With all the money you're saving on that cheap film, you should leave them an MP and an M6. Each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted February 23, 2016 Share #77 Posted February 23, 2016 I never would have expected people to feel so bitter and twisted about the film someone else uses. I guess I learned something new over the last few days. Anybody else here actually enjoy taking photo's with whatever equipment and consumables they happen to have?

I like Portra and Cinestill, but I also like Kodak UltraMax and Fuji X-tra Superia. I have an M6 + Summarits but also love my Pentax K1000 and my Ultra Wide and Slim!

Perhaps heed the advice of the mods above. #unhelpfulatbest To clarify for you, my comment wasn't a dig. Neither was it meant to be helpful. Work it out. Personally, I couldn't give a stuff what film you or anyone else uses as long it gets used and something of it is posted on this forum to back all the hot air up.
