Looks pretty nice film even if one of the cheapest.

Hi-res images are here

The Hex 40 is a sharp lens, and that Tudorcolor ain't a bad film for
everyday use. Nicely done! Wink

Well I've used Tudor film in the past but can't easily find any Tudor negs to scan, anyway went on the net to try and find out who made this film and came across this link and this guy seems impressed:-

Well this is a well known UK photography shop and they say "made in Japan".

And the majority of other links point to Fuji, some say Fuji Superia 200.

Fuji in my opinion too. Fuji color 200 perhaps or superia.

My first roll of the very same film. I did the scan by myself (Epson V330 Photo, standard Epson software, with only dust removal activated) and, well, tell me what you think. Not only the photographic point of view, but about the image quality itself. Some were slightly post-processed (saturation, contrast mainly), some not. They were taken with an Helios 28/2.8 and an Industar 50-2 50/3.5, mostly between 5.6 and 11 to increase depth of field.

Result is very nice!

Yes? I'm a bit disappointed I must say. First, dust... I don't know how to solve it. Then, I don't know, I was expecting more colors. And a bit more sharpness (though this may come from the lens). When I look at yours, they look much better! (and I don't mention framing or composition)

I did shoot closer distance , much easier to get great result on print film on closer distance than at infinity distance. Try one more roll from 0-15m and compare them. Sharpness also not a territory of inexpensive print film if you wold like to get sharper result need to scan in tiff and sharpen more on computer. Dust is not film fault, developing, scanning problem. If still there use a dust fixing tool on computer as I do.

Thanks, I'll try close shots. I was planning to do infinity anyway but well, I'll live with it. I scanned in tiff, I'll increase sharpness processing then. Thanks for the tips

Print film resolution is low to shoot infinity if you want to shoot brilliant infinity shoots use slide films.

Not entirely sure I agree any more. Slow high quality print films like Ektar 100 seem pretty good to me. Since the demise of Kodachrome I have essentially given up on slide film now. I was looking at some Velvia 50 120 slides the other day though, and the scans really, really do not do them justice. Sad

Ektar is latest development I can imagine it's resolution can reach slide resolution as some low ISO film did in past too.

Well, I've a lot of these Tudor rolls in my freezer, I'll finish them and then, I'll give slides a try Smile

Ah Attila you are forgetting Reala and superia 200 with Hexanon lenses Wink original shots were supermarket dev and scan, but re-scanned for crop on my V750

Yes these are good but not reach slide film sharpness I think.

First, I'll try to shoot with other lenses (Mir 1B and Jupiter 37A these days). Second, I realize that most of my "infinity" shots were not focused at infinity: to increase dof, I closed and focuses before infinity. So infinity should be in the field, however, I'll try again focusing at infinity. Results expected later this week Smile
