WOW Moose, WOW*.
This is what I have to say. Thank you for the complete explanation. So you
and Chris are telling me that I suddenly started to worry about nothing. Just
another bug from the list-slides, slides, your images are not worth if they are
shot on anything else.
You summarized it for my by asking the question how I want to view it. Of
course as large prints on the wall, but am just curious about a little fact
whose significance would not change my mind anymore:
Do slides get scanned easier? I would assume that the print film would need
some more processing?
I like the Portra too, have my Yash D loaded with it right now. My eight year
old son just lost his two front teeth and it is an interesting project?My only
gripe with it is that it gives orange cast over my greens and the grays are
very dull, excellent for shooting people, which I seldom do.
Supra 400, isn?t this the film that targeted photojournalists and is now
discontinued?
I am curious about another thing?
Based on your experience ( and I address everyone) how does the temperature
affects the film? I work at a place where one cannot bring a camera inside, so
my gear has to stay in the car, but the current temperatures are 50F(10C) and
below. Should I be concerned now? What about the winter, when it has to stay
for at least eight hours in temperatures below the freezing point? I know I
should have a beater in the car, but these are rare instances, when I have
something in mind and there is no time to go back home get the camera and go
shoot.
Does anyone have experience with Fuji print films? I think I narrowed it down
to Superia and Superia Reala. As I said, mostly interested in faithful
reproduction, not have ?punchy?, ?jazzy?, ?loud? or whatever you call it colors.
I went to BH site to see what they have available, but was confused by the
price difference for the exactly the same film. I do understand the difference
between US and imported versions. I saw some instances when the film was
exactly the same, but the price was at least a buck more?(and I mean the same,
even the number of exposures?:) check it yourself, try to tell all the Superia
differences). So what are the questions I should ask? What should I be aware
of?
I used to use the Superia X-TRA 400, because I liked the color reproduction,
except in one case, when the prints came from a lab in St. Louis?and the prints
looked ?cartoony? as Moose categorized them. There were mostly people pix and
all of them had a nice tan?
Thanks a bunch in a advance
Boris
*WOW- Chris this does not mean "weight on wheels"
