I'm finding that Fomadon LQR with the Kodak Vision2 films works well for bad light shooting, these were shot on a horrible dark day. I also experimented with using the flash for some close-ups, seems to work okay if the surface of the subject is not reflective.

Check out the 3D on #10, amazing for a little compact of modest price. That's fellow forum member Lloydy pictured.

LIke everything made from graphite , each picture has unique fingerprint. I like them!

LOL, I guess it really was annoying to have to scrub all the graphite off your Jobo Smile

Sorry....

But yes, this film does give a unique look, Fomadon LQR gives grainless results with hard blacks and intense whites and quite strange grayscale inbetween, it works well for some subjects, nuildings especially. Fomadon LQN gives a bit more grain but a much more normal range of grayscales.

I think that is an accurate description. I like it and in pics 6 and 11 I feel like I am getting sucked into the picture.

Cheers Skida. There is a lot of scope for post processing this film digitally, but often I just like to leave it with the hard blacks, gives a nice dark and moody feel, with old ruined buildings and similar subjects it can make for some really spooky visuals. Not sure it will work too well on people, not tried it yet.
