film showcase

Just received my first rolls of developed film, one of which is the Elektra 100. Figured I'd share some thoughts and images. Anyone else shooting with this or any of the other Aerocolor IV respools (Santa Color 100, Luminaire 100, maybe some others I'm not aware of) who wants to contribute...

Found this on YT. I know film is expensive. This could be an answer:

This set was taken on an old Zeiss Nettar 120 folding camera, and the Chinese film home developed and scanned. The place is Harwich, North Essex, a short drive from my home, it's the birthplace of the Mayflower ship and the Captain, Christopher Jones. The town has quite a history but has seen...

Overexposed it based on some reading I'd done. Seems to have been a mistake. There's not enough latitude and the hightlights are easily blown. Probably better to treat it like slide film rather than negative film in that regard. Still, here's some of what I got from roll one: Nikon F4...

No thread for this one, so why not.

There wasn't a thread for this film stock yet. I just developed a roll yesterday using the Cinestill C41 2-bath kit, here are the selects, scanned using the Pro Image 100 profile in Silverfast on the Pacific Image XAs. I like these results, it is not the most color neutral/realistic, at least...

Good Afternoon, One of my sons picked up these glass plate negatives for me as part of an estate auction last year. I did some research and the location points (most likely) to the whaling port of New Bedford, Massachusetts. I am going to take these to the N.B. Whaling Museum to get a true...

Okay, I'll start this one up, for the Kodachrome 25 fans...:). Regards, Edd

This film is a fairly new one out of China, with the early story on Emulsive.org written in 2019. It sounds like some of the earliest shipments outside of China had some QC issues, but I grabbed one last year from Blue Moon Camera out of pure curiosity. Shot inside the little Petri Color 35 and...

All Olympus XA2. Developed by AG Photo, scanned with Vuescan & cleaned up in Lightroom.

Latest scans back from Silverpan (and edited in Luminar 3). I think the Orca B&W is a nicer film, plus the little Auto 110 shoots 200 at 100 so they get a bit overexposed, and there isn’t the latitude to correct completely. That said, given the size of the camera these aren’t too bad.

Just a heads-up, the "color film showcase" subforum contains a lot of B&W films! I was looking for a film stock in the B&W subforum but there are only a few threads there, and the rest of the B&W film stocks are in the color forum.

First film back from my Pentax Auto 110. Developed and scanned to TIFF by the Silverpan lab, and some level tweaking in Lightroom by me. Pentax Auto 110 / Lomo Orca #1 by -theoldsmithy- Pentax Auto 110 / Lomo Orca #2 by -theoldsmithy- Pentax Auto 110 / Lomo Orca #3 by -theoldsmithy-...
