Advertisement Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Hi frame-it, Take a look here Simple film guide. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Martin B Posted August 8, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) It's a good overview indeed even some of my favorite films are missing - for example Ilford PanF+ 50 and Fuji Provia and Velvia 100F slide films. I also wish some more details were given on debits of specific films in the description/review - for example that Ektar 100 renders shadows blueish etc. Edited August 8, 2018 by Martin B 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 9, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2018 true i liked it because is quite simplified and gives a nice overview...and quite an achievement from a young under 35 year old photographer nice to see more people using and loving film these days It is just one sign of a clear trend by now that many younger photographers went back to film to differentiate from the mainstream digital mass. I started shooting film again about 4 years ago and meanwhile shoot more film than digital. But the main reason why I went back to film is that I can now develop all film by myself. If I had to send out each film to have it developed and scanned, it would be a very expensive and probably not worthwhile hobby. For me key with film is to do as much by yourself as you possibly can - starting from rolling your own 35 mm films from a 100' roll (reduces the price for a 36 frame cartridge about 50-70%) to scanning and potentially even printing with an enlarger setup. This compared to buying a > $3K digital camera with expensive lenses is then potentially the more affordable option, too - but again, you have to vest the time to handle everything by yourself (which I consider fun, too). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 14, 2018 Share #7 Posted August 14, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for referencing my blog A couple of years ago I started a project in which I want to shoot every color film available in the market. I'd like to create an easy guide for people who wants to start with film and doesn't know which film to use. So far, this is the list: (Did I forget anything?) Sounds like an excellent plan! Even some of the "fancy" films are currently very over-hyped in social networks, I don't see them as being used often. I personally wouldn't focus too much on these, e. g. like purple/blue false color negative films etc, neither on some hyped B&W films like Street Candy etc. I believe the most available films in stores are the ones people will most likely have a comparison with. Certainly I would include some well known slide films like Fuji Provia or Velvia 100F. Just my 2 Cents! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted August 27, 2018 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2018 Well done, Carlos, a very worthwhile venture and very interesting to read so thank you. I have ordered 3 rolls of FilmNeverDie IRO 200 to try; it might help me fill the void created by the absence of my beloved ADOX Color-Implosion.

frame-it Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted August 27, 2018 cant find that ADOX color implosion ANYWHERE!...but i DID find the Lightroom preset for it which im having a blast with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted August 27, 2018 Share #11 Posted August 27, 2018 Adox told me that it was only a short run film and they've dismantled the end-of-life production line as part of their building renovations and they won't be able to offer it in the future unfortunately. Where did you find your LR Color-Implosion preset please? Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted August 27, 2018 Share #12 Posted August 27, 2018 Adox announced the end of life of Color Implosion on their website several months ago. There are (or were last Saturday) a few rolls still for sale at The Photographer's Gallery. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted August 29, 2018 Share #17 Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks, Frame-it. The DxO rendition doesn't quite do it for me because it lacks the natural heavy grain and colour shifts that I would expect in Adox Color-Implosion. An example to explain what I mean: Pete.

Ko.Fe. Posted August 31, 2018 Share #19 Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) It is more like historical overview in OP link. Many films are not exist anymore, like true AGFA and Konica or not available on most of the markets - Fuji Industrial. And next to none BW films in this link. Yet, you could buy 14+ different BW films in bulk, but no C-41 bulk film these days. Edited August 31, 2018 by Ko.Fe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted September 8, 2018 Share #20 Posted September 8, 2018 I could mention that the original link is not a scientific comparison*, however, scientific comparison shots tend to be boring...
