Quick little update, I have just ordered a pack of Portra 400 to try in the Hasselblad. I still haven;t shot much since starting this thread. The weekend weather has been terrible to be honest and with the day job during the week, I am finding it hard. I have been in communication with a superb landscape photographer who uses Velvia 50, although he also used LEE ND filters and has a proper 'landscape' setup. I am not a landscape photographer by any stretch and have no real desire to be, so I think the outlay on a full kit such as that would be a waste of money for me, however I am worried about returning with regrets and wishing I had done it differently.
Part of me (and some of my friends who don't get film) tells me to just take the nikon DSLR. But I really, really want to soot the whole lot on film, for a lot of the reasons mentioned by some folk above. I have spent most evenings searching the web for images of Iceland and other locations shot on film to try and put my mind at rest that it's the way to go. At the moment, I am not convinced either way. For me, I want it to be about the journey and the things you see and people you meet along the way, as well as the photography.
Then there's the whole, 'light meter' thing. So far, I have been using an app on my phono to meter with decent results. Can you use something like a Sekonic-308s for landscapes or do you need something more advanced with a spot meter like for example the L-558. As someone coming from digital, this is the bit that;s frying my brain a little.
I'll try and shoot this pack of Portra over the next few weeks and see how I get on and will report back.
