Been using my 'Gift' Minolta X-700 loaded with 2003 dated Fuji Velvia 50 rated 32ASA and had it E6 processed by John Salim photography of Southend-on-Sea Essex as I don'y do my own E6. Slightly Magenta but I could correct largely in PhotoShop 7 as i would in the darkroom with filters.

Thanks John, I was pleased with the colours - dev & scan by Filmdev, I've been really happy with their work.

Well looking at Andy's 2nd shot in #17331...Portra 160 ISO came out nice, difficult choice Ektar or Portra, and could depend on the subject.
 
Boone's chapel, Lewisham.

Taken using Linhof Master Technika and Schdeider 80mm f4.5 xl. Exposure 4 seconds at F22 with yellow orange filter. Ilford Delta 100 developed for 6 minutes in Ilford Ilfotec HC.

This single 4x5 sheet was developed emulsion side inwards in a Paterson tank with 800ml developer. If anyone knows what the mark is on the right middle of the sky I would be interested to know.

on the filmdev website they say...
''...Kodak Ektar on a cloudy day (developed and scanned by filmdev.) A great film for boosting contrast and saturation even in poor flat lighting conditions....''

seeing as Scotland is 99% ''in poor flat lighting conditions'' - I'll give the EKTAR 100 a run through
still interested in Portra 160 and 400 - but not cheap
a trial pack 1x160 and 1x400 is £18 on eBay .........still tempted..:)
 
My latest FILM Foray is with another of my 'Gift' Cameras, saved from being dumped -- a Contax RTS II Quartz and I loaded with a 09/2006 outdated Kodak Ektachrome Elite Extracolour and Old Mate of over 40 years gave me -- I have several more -- so as it was 'old' I rated it at 80 ASA not 100 ASA -- on processing it could have been rated still at 100 ASA ! I also used some Yashica lens off my FR-1 gear.
Yashica ML Zoom 80-200mm f4 at f4 + Polariser

Yashica ML Zoom 80=200mm f4 at f4 in Covent Garden and I tried an 81A filter in case the 'Ektachrome' was 'Blue' in dull light.

50mm f1.4 Zeiss Planar T* at f1.4 as a test -- it was 'back focussing' so here i focussed a liitle in FRONT of the shopping basket and ladies.

Those two marks look Like stress marks, however they should be reversed and dark if they are on the negative.
You can get stress marks both on negatives and on bromided prints. They are caused by scratching, stressing, the surface of the emulsion. This has the same effect as light and sensatises the silver halide so that it is developed into metalic silver.
 
Some top work on here!

Got a few bits back from Peak last week. Really need to improve my scanning or leave it to the professionals.

Fuji Velvia 50, Bronica SQAI (first play with Velvia)

Excellent work all round mate.
 
@gad-westy

that Velvia colour is superb IMO

I've ordered some Portra 400 - the skin colour in the 'bath-shot' looks fine to me too
 
Here's my first contribution to the thread...

Not quite my photo, but a Kodachrome taken by my father in 1966 of Apia, Samoa:

This was a shot which was (annoyingly) underexposed, taken on expired Orwo NP55 motion picture film of unknown age, with a 1935 Leica IIIa and 5cm Elmar lens:

As Kodachrome is estimated to last over 100 years before a slight colour change....One of my snipes at the digi guys is where will your jpg's or special DVDs (if you can play them on a computer in the future) or colour prints be in 100 years o_O

Thanks, I was a bit intimidated by velvia. Had read a lot about it's demand for spot on exposure and not dealing too well with contrasty scenes but actually that particular roll all came out remarkably well. Must admit I'm disappointed with the Velvia scan though. That slide looks so fantastic on the light table but looses a lot of that in scanning (Epson flat bed with a monkey at the controls). I'm tempted to see what that particular shot looks like drum scanned but not sure on costs.

I really like portra 400. It's very smooth compared to other 400 films I've used. Probably better than some 200's actually. Nice skin tones as well as you say and very forgiving to work with.

James I really like the Rhodes shot! Welcome to the best bit of TP... :)
 
#3...:)

plenty of lines to draw the eye to the house - even the sloping rocky cliff-face
 
it's a shame the boats stern got clipped........ is this a consideration of the format used

strange because we 'see' in a rectangular format so this must take some getting used to.?

I'm the opposite, in that I see potential photos much better in square format. I find rectangles, especially 135, hard to fill.

I recently reviewed an old roll of 35mm photos I took in Italy and deliberately cropped them all square. Every single photo looked better to my eye after cropping.

Maybe I have tunnel vision [emoji6]
 
square just feels right, ive had a couple of 6x4.5's now and never got on with them. Although the little fuji ga645's in all their forms are pretty good.
