Hello friends, I'm calling upon the collective to help me out. I know nothing about color film both 4x5 and 120, they are all just color to me. I would love some suggestions on what film has good rich color for my senior.
I like Fuji myself but I know other people like Zak prefer Kodak. I would suggest shooting a roll or each and scanning them in and seeing what gives you the least hassle and what has the best tonal pallet
I shoot Fuji Pro160 and Kodak Portra NC160. I like the Fuji for landscapes and the Kodak for portraits. The Fuji has a little bit to much red in skin tones for my liking but other than that they are about the same IMO. I have been shooting some film I got from the Kodak guys at SPE called E100g. Its a Transparency film that has reeeeeeeeeeallly ridiculously fine grain. Like it so far but it dosnt have the exposure leeway that the Portra or the Pro160 have.
I also enjoy the fuji, but you really should find someone who has some of each so you can try them out, if you are investing for senior, I would most definitely shoot a roll of each so you can personally make that decision.
I have always been a fuji man myself. But i shot some of the new kodak ektar last year and i have to admit it kicked some ass (especially since fuji stopped making reala 100). I have heard good things about fuji 160s for portraits (havent used it myself). If you want to shoot slide film Velvia 100 is the cats pajamas.

ReplyDeleteThe Kodak Ektar 100 is pretty good stuff. Nice fine grain.
