Thank you, that's not going to be loaded up as an every day film. It was on a good deal and I had a voucher code available to managed to pick it up for just £3.50, so would have been silly not to!Glad it arrived safely. I'd save that E100 until it's bright and sunny (late spring, summer or if we get some snow and bright sunshine) as it seems to look a bit 'meh' in dull or overcast conditions.

with just a tinge of Kodachrome to it too.
Yes, I know, these days any mention of Kodachrome is seen as something akin to finding the Holly Grail, but surely saturated colours and a sunny 'look' should be achievable without almost total loss of shadow detail. After all, look what Kodak have achieved with Ektar 100, and that's 'only' a print film! There, I've said it... Kodachrome blasphemy!Good luck with that!
Thanks, I'm going to do a little experimenting with it, see what I can come up with. I've heard a lot of people saying similar, unfortunately I wasn't able to shoot with either the earlier Ektachrome or Kodachrome.Snip:
It would indeed. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad film.... it's just that I was probably expecting a great film when E100 was announced, but I personally felt that it fell a bit short of that. To be honest, I prefer the look of the Ektachrome I used in the late 70s and early 80s to this E100 relaunch film, but I'm glad Kodak decided to try, so people get some idea of how nice slide film used to be.
I really hope they'll carry on with their development and perhaps give us something that looks a bit more like early 80s Ektachrome... and if we're really lucky, with just a tinge of Kodachrome to it too.

Don't get me wrong, I often used Kodachrome when it was available and enjoyed the results, but just a little more shadow detail without blowing the highlights in contrasty light would have been useful. If Kodak ever considers a modern replacement then this is something they might consider, if that's possible without destroying the more endearing qualities the original film had, I'd still want pure inky blacks at the extreme end though.Ah Mr Badger you are forgetting whether we choose B\W, colour neg or pos it's the best film (in our opinion) for the job from Portraiture to scenery and for me knew when\where to get the best results from Kodachrome...... and also other films.
Its not always the fault of films for crappy results and could be inexperience or no hood for the lens or crappy lens and so on. Plenty of shots on the net using Kodachrome from pros.
Yes - there's a diffuser piece of plastic which sits against your light source, and the outermost layer/frame sits over that securely (there are keyed areas between the various bits of plastic). The cut out is the right size to display the negative with the rebate sandwiched between the bits of plastic.
Crap explanation, but I can grab some phone shots to demo when I'm home tonight?
Got it in one, quite nicely made, planning on mounting it on a lens board for the 4x5 and/or might make a box for itVariable pinhole?
I see it comes with a Covid-19 Xmas Day bubble warning too.Postman just delivered the makings for Cyanotypes, perhaps a series called 'Lockdown Blues'

Two new to me (and looking unused) 5x7 film holders arrived today. This should increase flexibility in film buying, as I have a number of 13x18 holders, but not many 5x7, and some film stockists only carry one of the two sizes.

£80, which seemed not too painful, it's more than the Intrepid one but I sometimes use a 120 roll film back and this is marked up for all sizes. I was happily using it without a dark cloth in full sun, f5.6 lensThat looks really bright, especially in daylight. Was it expensive?

Tbh the price I paid was well below the going rate for one in this condition.Amazing, looks like some fun there, Asha. And when you're done it'll probably be worth more than you paid for it!
But... wait a minute, I'm not in the same year!
The dropdown for Newly Arrived suggests it was updated yesterday Stephen, but I guess that might be automatic? https://www.mwclassic.com/product-category/newly-arrived/I'm still waiting for film holders ordered last summer from MW Classic. The last time I tried calling them, the phone was dead, so I assumed they were no longer in business.

Dig this though, I ordered last year, 2020, and Andysnap said it would arrive in the next year. Is it not time for it to arrive?
On another planet, where do MW Classics get all there gear. It's a constantly changing portfolio of interesting, but perhaps not accurately described, items.
