Attila, thanks for the vote of confidence.
Moira, maybe someday you will want to develop your own B&W film, and then again, maybe not.
If you do, I can send you some Arista Premium 400 film. (You can't have the Kodak Gold 100 back, though. lol) |

Hello , Bill !
1. Have checked the accuracy of the rangefinder ?
2. It's possible a scanning problem .The sharpness isn't as it should be . Check the holders try to scan again , or try wet scan , just to see what happends . Check the scan settings too .I don't think the film is the problem here. The pics look too soft ,the second is the softer , but the first (best )isn't as I think it should .
Keep on , don't give up ,I wait the next tests. _________________ Cheers , Teo

Teo, film was absolutely flat. I was metering for 80 and using shutter speeds of 1/15 @f11. With
shots like these, any camera shake will affect results. Faster film or using tripod and shutter release
cable would have tightened them up. Here's using a bit more sharpening and working with the
color balance:
I shot a BW roll before, and RF focusing is spot-on.

They're not bad Bill. C41 is tricky, I've done about a dozen rolls of 35mm C41 now, diy development and most of them were not good, so you're always at a disadvantage with C41 compared to E6 or BW.
It's a shame, I really like the images, if they were on Velvia those autumn colours would really pop.
In this case, i wouldn't blame yourself for any deficiencies, I think it's just C41 being somewhat variable in results. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I think the shots are great, especially #1.

+1 and distance shoot is pretty hard for C41 films always. |
Hi Attila. I think I saw you mention this before, and as I shoot C41 almost exclusively, I was wondering what this means. |

C41 isn't as sharp as E6 slide film so E6 is preferred for landscapes and distant shots where fine detail is important. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Ian and Skida, thanks, fellas. Next time, yes, definitely slide film. I had rolls of 120 Provia 100F in
the freezer, too, sheesh. But Velvia 50, tripod, and cable release, would have done the deed. |

Teo, I think the shutter speeds on mine are OK. If they had gotten slower, there would be
more light in these. |
