Kodak films have always been the expensive one. No? A box of Kodak E100G 10 sheets film cost usd29.90 and a box of Fujifilm Provia 100F 20 sheets film cost usd39.90 nia.

Extar is supposedly to have the finest grain for colour negatives. You are right. But unless you print the photos bigger than A3, you wouldn't notice grain much. Don't underexpose the film lah.

Their films are getting them money. Library of Congress archives all their stuffs on films and not HDD. The movie industry are using more films now compare to a couple of years back. Heck, Ghost Protocol was shot entirely on film. But then again, that could be because of the camera that they chose to use.

The major labs that run on Lightjet or Lambda use the Kodak Endure papers. Duratrans that you see in Isetan and Chanel boutique are all Kodak paper. Oh lastly, Ifer prints on Kodak paper as well hahahaa

Woah

Only E6 at Pudu Plaza process slides (E6) now. Photo Media stop doing it 2 months ago. I had a chat with Mr.Ng (Photo Media) and he said though he stop doing the process, he is willing to bring the chemical in if anyone wants to self process slides films.

He does fantastic prints too. But not 4R size. Minimum is 8R and the price aint cheap.

use ND filter. that is perhaps the easiest way. rather than to try to find super slow films

And you need a sturdy tripod. A cable release.

Since you are in JB, maybe you should join clubsnap forum

Cut the 120mm film to a smaller size and add sprocket holes to it?

Eh those light metre in smart phones apps is mot really accurate. Well, at least to me. But then again, it's better than with mo light metre.

One thing I find it hard to judge is the brightness of my phone changes according the ambiance light. So I find it hard to trust the brightness that's given by the light metre lol

rx330, you afraid of ghost? Hehehee

jayxunned,
too high contrast lah.
use 1-1.5 grades softer

Sondol is what? Sounds like kena cucuk from the back lol. Kena rape.

Yoong does black and white processing too. And i trust him more than i trust some form 5 kid working in foto sun processing my films

XP2 is a nice film to use. If you were to print them on conventional black and white papers in the darkroom, you have to use a slightly high contrast paper to get the umpphh out. Some complain about hard to focus in the darkroom when using this negatives to print (me included) because the grain structure is not like silver based black and white film. They use chromogenic grain structure (colour negatives).

This film gives a smooth grain. Some dislike it because it do not have the grainy characteristic. Some prefer the gritty grains of the Tri-X. As for me, Tri-X is a bit too grainy and I prefer HP-5 Plus.

yoong,
are you still thinking about the wet plate collodion?
or even the dry plate?

i have a project in mind

Expired b/w films are low in contrast. Depends on how long it has been expired. The longer it is the more no contrast it is.

Push process it. Push 2 stops at least. Hope to get back some contrast. If not hor, you basically get grey nia

Wet or dry?
If wet, it means we cant do location shooting right?
