A Comparison of all the 120 Film Stocks on the Market

Interesting enough but missing quite a few of the less we’ll known stocks so not quite “all the film stocks on the market”.

I have to say seeing these side by side I really liked the Fuji films the most (both Acros and 400H). The cinestill was also really nice, it's just a shame they completely avoided any of the slide offerings

I know, that was my first though....no slide !

Thinking it through though, there's Velvia or Provia, both made by the same manufacturer so its a pretty limited comparison.

Apart from some give us a clue lomography stuff, and the non arrival of Ektachrome, that's it...:(
 
Now if only they had told us what developer their lab used for processing the b&w films, that would have been good. The grain on all of the films looked better than the grain I get, particularly the HP5+, but we don't know the developer and the scan details. I've been toying with trying the Delta films again, but this showed that there's life in the traditional Ilford films yet. I've got a couple of rolls of Fomapan 100 to try out, so might manage to shoot one tomorrow if it's bright enough for handheld.

That video is more a comparison of the film available to them, not all film stocks. For a complete list, Em at Emulsive.org has put together a three part collection (so far!) of all film stocks still available everywhere;

https://emulsive.org/reviews/film-r...an-buy-today-part-2-film-ferrania-to-hillvale

https://emulsive.org/reviews/film-r...de-today-part-3-ilford-to-japan-camera-hunter

He’s around half way through the complete list (up to 70 so far) and he’s included example images from each film where available. Where there aren’t any examples currently, he’s looking for photographers to share their examples to build up the complete guide.

I know, shocking :)

I'm more shocked that it appears to be an article actually written by them instead of simply being lifted from someone else!

Well, TBF the substantive parts of the article are the video and the 4 stills, other than that it's just a summary!

Nevertheless, I found the video a very interesting watch. Sometimes I really struggled to see what they were seeing, but other times it helped me see things I otherwise wouldn't have. Worth another watch, I think.

The lab was Richard Photo Lab, so the video didn't come cheap. Dev is about $15 and about the sane again for a medium scan, IIRC. Times 17!
