Reluctant Print Film Suggestions. INTRODUCTION. return to top. Film. is a very personal artistic choice. No one else can tell you what look. Your. choice of film is far more important than your choice of camera or lens. All. films look very different. You can't learn much from a scientific data. The Film Photography Project informs, engages and inspires film enthusiasts of all levels. While promoting the viability of vintage cameras and film. Film is fast, easy, inexpensive and fun to shoot. It's so much easier than digital; there are no menus or computers, and batteries usually last a year or more!

You have to go out and try them personally. What's important. When you find what you like, use it. There is NO absolute scale of what makes a film good. It's. up to you as an artist to choose what gives you the look you want. The Fuji GX680 is a single lens reflex system camera for medium format film produced by Fujifilm with interchangeable camera lenses and interchangeable film holders.I. want wild, vivid colors so I prefer Fuji's professional Velvia. As you have. seen, I don't post my people photos which I do on my digital camera. You. probably won't find Velvia 5. Film photography: it's about latitude and depth, not megapixels and actuations. Read film and camera reviews, thought pieces on film photography and of course, the. Target or Wal- Mart, but you can just order. I do. I use Velvia. It comes in 8x. 10. To see all the different package options do a search at Adorama. FILM, then COLOR SLIDE FILM, then select the check boxes. FUJI, the sizes you want, ISO up to 9. DAYLIGHT. I usually order. There. is a new Velvia. F that costs more than Velvia 5. Velvia 5. 0. See my comments on Velvia 1. F here. No, the colors are not the same as Velvia 5. ISO4. 00 slides. MAKING GREAT PRINTS (click) HOW. TO GET THE WILD COLORS I DOreturn to top. AT. WHAT SPEED SHOULD YOU SHOOT VELVIA 5. Like what you see. Then there's your answer. All the people I know who produce killer. If you use compensation instead of a deliberate manual. ISO setting you'll still have the same compensation as applied to a. This. could save rolls of film if you put in ISO 4. ISO setting manually. There. are folk tales about Velvia only being ISO 4. Some reasons behind this. Conspiracy theories, like . People's cameras don't even match to within +- 1/3 stop anyway, so people. Most of my Nikons need to be set. L3. 5AF needs to be set to 6. Minolta X- 7. 00 gets set. Many meters read differently. I. agree that you have to figure out what film speed works for you on your. Electronic cameras are super. What varies more is the mechanical calibration. Nikon SLR lenses. That's. right, good old fashioned mechanical tolerances control how accurately. Because of this one lens. I've seen this. myself and have even had to get out the jewelers' screwdrivers to calibrate. Nikon AF lens the hard way. Think. I'm kidding? Go shoot the same subject like a blank wall so you can. You'll probably see some slides made with one lens consistently. Here's the real reason: Velvia has the deepest, darkest, most vivid. DMax of any color film ever. Because. of this you get deeper, more VELvety blacks than any other slide film. This. way you also get more sparkle in the highlights because they can get. This is part of what. Velvia its vividness: colors pop out from the jet- black background. Velvia. has a DMax of around 3. D, regular Kodak VS film a weak 3. D. Let. me make up the following numbers; I have not measured these. If. regular slide film is shot to put neutral gray around 0. D (I'm guessing. here at that value) then you can get highlights up to +0. D above gray. and blacks to - 2. D below gray. If. Velvia we get the same highlights, and blacks that get. D below gray. If. D on Velvia then we can get highlights. D above gray, far more sparkly than with the old Kodak. VS, and we still can get deeper blacks down to - 2. D below that gray. In these conditions. In these conditions one may be. Kodak VS. On. the other hand, this changes radically looking at projected slides or. Now the shadows. will start to glow on Velvia. If it was shot at 4. Again. this is all art. Do what looks good for you, but in all cases don't. Velvia at ISO 4. 0. One always ought. In. the old days of Kodachrome 2. Today some people try to apply this to E6. Velvia. gets brown and dull with underexposure. I find Velvia always looks marvelous. Shooting it at 4. I shoot. 1/3 stop is a subtle issue anyway. Go shoot a bunch. When. scanning for digital I find I love the results from bringing up the. Velvia slide even better sometimes than from. Cranking up the levels command in Photoshop. Here's why: Slides. The colors and exposure. Each film is a little different from other. Prints. are printed from the negative that was in your camera. When printed. the printer again has to control the exposure AND the color of the print. This is because there is NO standard for how. Every brand and every different film requires. Therefore many printers attempt to. There. is talk of film makers attempting to adopt the same color printing characteristics. That day has not yet happened. Stick with slides if you are picky. Your. colors are going to be different every time you get your print film. I got. sick of this. If. you print your own negatives, fine, because you know what you want. If. you shoot slides you can get better prints because you can point to. Everything. you see on my site is from slide film. I can't get these colors from. Ever. seen magazines called . Scanned on a $5. 0,0. Slides. are also better than negs for scanning because all slides scan with. All negs need to be scanned with different settings. Wal- Mart prints. Every brand and type of. There is NO STANDARD for colors on the negs. Unless you go. get some fancy scanning software like Vuescan. Silverfast that. already has all the color terms in it you are just gambling with color. Even with those programs you still have 1. I just drop. my stuff personally and you can ship your film to them. Tell them I. sent you. WHAT. ABOUT REFRIGERATION? You can carry professional film like Velvia around for. I've. been shooting Velvia since the late 8. I've. never had any problems with anything, unlike with Kodak. I'm. constantly putting Velvia in and out of the fridge or freezer. Fuji. Rep Phil Abel told us around 1. Fuji told him that it's best. I've never had a problem. Also. don't worry about not having a fridge, either. Film. is nowhere near as perishable as milk or cheese. I. keep loads of it in my fridge, but I also don't worry if I go away for. EXPIRATION. DATES return to top. Don't. worry about them. If. you keep it in the freezer it keeps forever. I have shot Velvia with. This film therefore was probably made over twelve years ago. Test a roll first if you have to shoot something important. Personally. I don't worry about film I bought new and goes out of date a year or. I save the ten- year old rolls friends give me for testing broken. WHERE. TO GET SLIDE FILM DEVELOPED return to top. Slide. films are developed with a process called . I use Chrome. in San Diego where I just drop my stuff personally. You can ship your. I were you I'd just go find a local lab. Professional. E6 labs are in every city and many towns. MOUNTING. AND PROJECTING SLIDES return to top. Mounting. 35mm. film usually comes back mounted in 2 x 2. Some. pros save a dollar a roll and get them unmounted as just a continuous. They then just. mount the ones they actually use. Unmounted film is much better for. If you shoot something weird. Hasselblad/Fuji/Mamiya. Some. people used to fuss with glass mounts. You have to be very careful about. There. used to be an odd format called . They were shot on medium format. You could then mount these images in 2. This big. film area looked far better than 3. Instead of the subject being in the middle of the smaller. Of course today it's even better. More here. Medium. In the 1. 95. 0s and 1. I get here. and 6 x 7 cm film goes into these mounts here. Tip: I shoot 6 x 6 and when. I have an image better suited to a vertical or horizontal crop I just. I. want. This always looks great when projected, and of course you just. The 6. 45. and 6 x 6 mounts all go in the same projectors and trays. You. don't mount 4 x 5. You can tape them. Projection. 35mm 3. Likewise, many amateurs. This also is why Kodak. Who cares; there. Kodak made the worst I knew. Personally. I use an inexpensive made- in- Germany Leica P1. I got here. for $2. I threw away the included 8. Hektor lens. which is as crummy as the ones all the Kodak projectors have and bought. Leica 9. 0mm f/2. Colorplan- P2 lens like the one here. Thus for less than you'd pay for a new Kodak Carousel I have. Leica projector and lens that really lets me see what's on my slides. I love my P1. 50. I don't use it often. The Leicas use a much better slide. Carousel system that used to be popular in the. USA. The LKM style trays used by Leica and other European projectors. Carousels did. Watch. The lens above. is flat- field and best with glass- mounted slides. A curved- field lens. With plastic mounts. This gets iffy with no glass; as the slides pop. CF and FF lenses are better. I use a curved field lens. Medium. Format (6. Medium. format projectors come in two or three flavors. The. cheapest flavor is to go find a 1. They used. 5. 00. W tungsten lamps and work OK, although dim due to the inefficient. The. best flavor, if you are as frugal as I am, is to buy a basic modern. W halogen projector like this Kindermann here. OK lens. It has the. A. fancy professional projector like the Hasselblad or Rollei here. Of. course the two flavors above only show the 7 x 7 cm mounts for up to. If you shoot 6 x 7cm then you're in trouble. You. can either find an antique, buy the Mamiya Cabin totally manual (you. K. 6. 45 and 6 x 6 cm. At 6 x 7 cm and bigger you have. I just. make a cardboard mask and project away. Most of these projectors had. Here's. one if you can't borrow one. Of course the overhead projector works. Just remember as the format gets smaller you have to get further. If. you prefer, Noblex makes a dedicated $3,0. It's all in how and where you. So few people expose B/W film properly that. In any case one can elicit. Photoshop today anyway. B/W. is very different from color. Every film is usually a stop or more. Thus you have to perform zone- system tests when you start. If you want faster film. Selbst extrem starke. Vergr. ILFORD.
