which would be your choice for color and bw film to capture autumn foliage. I do

not do in-house developing. I shall give it to a lab for develop and scan.

 

Thank you.

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.

 

Hope this helps

You may like super-saturated colors for fall, so Ektachrome VS 100 /Fujichrome Velvia 100

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.

Thanks Allan.

One vote for Velvia 100.

[ron110n]

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...

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

For B&W I like Agfa APX 100:

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

[Mark Antony]

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.

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!!!

Mark, velvia i like! thanks.
