ron110n Posted September 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2007 Colored: Ektachrome 100G B&W: ??? Ilford HP5+ Pro / Rodinal 1:50 if you do your own developing. Maybe try converting the 100G to B&W and see if you like it. M7, Cron 75 APO, Ektachrome 100G plus Miranda Magic. Catedral de Santa María de la Sede, Sevilla España.

S. Wong Posted September 17, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 17, 2007 You may like super-saturated colors for fall, so Ektachrome VS 100 /Fujichrome Velvia 100 -Steven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrewer Posted September 17, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 17, 2007 Hi Fahim. Those are slide films, as you suggest. I really like Kodak 100UC and 400UC pro color print film for the kind of work you want to do. Both films handle browns/orange/yellow very well; with very appealing blue, light blue and a contrasty look that I prefer. They're also a little bit on the saturated side with the colors, but not as much as Velvia. I don't do much B&W, but what I have done with AFGA APX 100 I've liked a lot--processing and printing by myself. Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoskeptic Posted September 17, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 17, 2007 One vote for Velvia 100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron110n Posted September 18, 2007 Share #11 Posted September 18, 2007 Ron, thanks a lot. isn't ektachromea slide film? Sorry for the delay Fursan, I was at work all morning. Yes, Allan was right; it is a slide film. I will usually lean towards contrasty transparencies on anything colorful like autumn foliage. Velvia 100 is absolutely fantastic if you want extreme contrast. But here in the arrid Southern California, we have non at all of an autumn foliage. The best autumn foliage that I've seen and captured in K64 was in Missouri and New Jersey. But those were my pre leica years... -Ron ________________ Caveman's Gallery Neolithic Artistry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron110n Posted September 19, 2007 Share #14 Posted September 19, 2007 thanks Ron. Is it possible to see a sample pic from velvia 100? Hello Fursan, I don't have any Autum Foilage in Velvia 100. My last Autum capture in 1992 was in (K64) Kodachrome 64 on a mounted slides. Fuji Velvia weren't around yet at that time. I have to look for the Courosel where I stored it. Also it was captured on a Nikon F3HP instead. I don't have a Leica then. I have a few sample of Leica M7 and Rolleiflex images below on Fuji Velvia 100. Also M7 on Kodak Ektachrome 100G. M7, Fuji Velvia 100 Rollei 6008i, Fuji Velvia 100 (Medium Format 6x6) M7, Kodak Ektachrome 100G. Contrasty but moderate. -Ron ________________ Caveman's Gallery Neolithic Artistry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Antony Posted September 19, 2007 Share #16 Posted September 19, 2007 Here is a shot on Velvia 100: For B&W I like Agfa APX 100: Mark Photo Utopia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerdoc Posted September 19, 2007 Share #17 Posted September 19, 2007 Good luck finding Agfa as they are out of business - at least in the States. Try Kodak TMax 100. It is superb B&W! Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted September 19, 2007 Share #18 Posted September 19, 2007 Agfa is easily available there are many sources in Europe Retro Photographic Ltd - Black & White Specialist Photographic Products Enough stock for about 2 years or so, when they (Fotoimpex) run out they plan to re-introduce their own APX (made with the help of ex-agfa engineers) Although Agfa film are no longer the chemical division (sold to A&O) are well. Photo Utopia EDIT: Seems Agfa APX is also available in the USA Agfa | APX-100 135-36 Agfapan Professional Black & | B9FHS | Much better tones than tabular emulsions!!!
