Wasn't sure what to expect from this with all the hype and confusion about whether this was a new emulsion or not but was very happy with the results. Fine grain with nice saturated colours and the sharpness you expect from Kodak. Really nice film and great to have Eastman back in the game!
Nice! Bright tones. Good for holidays.
lovely results from this film, super fine grain - my only issue is that most of the time it looks like it would have suited being shot at 200 instead of 400
I'm a big fan of creative films so having another one at my disposal is always great and this one is fantastic. Harman have done a great job with this.
Fantastic quality film with very nice fine grain and lovely detailed pictures. Also love that it is so affordable.
Put this through a Minolta X 700. Pleased with it. Colours apear nicely with not bad grain. Nice for every day stuff in my opinion. Sample shots unedited beyond the scan from the lab.
Works great outdoors with my Holga 120N in N mode, even when it isnt brilliantly sunny. That said, might try 800 ISO next time for wide exposure lattitude when it gets towards evening.
I’m going to need to use bulb mode if I want to use this film to capture street scenes with my Holga 120N.
XP2 has a major upside- it can be developed in colour chemistry alongside your colour film. I find it a little difficult to work with in darkroom printing though.
Pan F has great acutance and contrast, especially in developers like Rodinal. Sometimes a little underdevelopment is necessary to tame contrast, but by all means but yourselves a roll!
FP4, although apparently not as sharp as Delta 100, actually presents great sharpness in rodinal and Xtol 1+1. The tonality is great.
Great film for getting creative with. Harman have done an excellent job with this. Brilliant otherworldly colours!!
I hadn't had the best initial experience with Tri-X, but with some practice I've found it to be a very worthy film, and certainly one I'll be using more often! The example here is perhaps a bit overexposed or even overdeveloped, but it should print easily.
Initially, I didn't get on with Tri-X film at all, but I've realised that it is a very good film - it just needs a little practice!
A good quality film, as all of Ilford's are, though from the attached photo you can see that it is a little difficult to control in Xtol developer.
Another community gardening session captured, this one with overwhelming sunshine and I'm stunned by the incredible colour saturation and vibrance which Aurora 400 has produced!
I still really really love how it handles green, but reds are gorgeous too. It's just a really great all-rounder film and I try to always have a roll in my stock for when the moment is right.
Kodak's cheapest colour film has been a favourite of mine for many years. It's a great everyday film on sunny afternoons and especially for your holidays.
Using Kodak Gold to photograph Cherry Blossom should be enacted in Law. They go so well together, it has become, in my humble opinion, criminal not to photograph Cherry Blossom with Kodak Gold.
I took a roll to Portugal in September 2024 not having much idea of how the images would turn out, only having seen a few sample images and knowing it had a "warm" charm and were bold in contrast. With this in mind, I was intrigued by how certain scenes would render, shooting loosely and having fun, a part of that being not knowing what I just captured and wouldn't until I'm home.
Once AW had developed them, I began scanning at home and found the results immediately rewarding. Phoenix delivers a strong, baked-in look with unforgiving contrast where shadows suddenly drop off and highlights clipping quite quickly. The promised warmth coming through particularly in lower exposures and producing unique rusty reds giving an immediate look to the frames.
Phoenix definitely suited the casual nature of holiday snaps alongside some rolls of other colour stocks that I know better and rely on more.
I would like to revisit this roll with a better scanner (than my home flatbed) and study them more as well as shoot more in different conditions.
I'm excited to see HARMAN's future with their endeavour into colour and the potential for many stocks of films and the capacity to produce them at scale.
Delta 3200 is fantastic at doing what it does and is meant to do - enable you capture photos at incredibly fast speed, or in very low light conditions. I was particularly surprised and impressed by the outdoor photos where there was very very little light available.
It does have a high grain, but that's a more than acceptable trade off in my opinion and can add to the atmosphere of images.
I'm sure there's a perfect use for this film - probably creative or abstract photography - but I haven't quite figured it out yet.
I purchased a roll of Revolog Echo on a whim, and then had no idea what to do with it for months. I ended up using it at the after party for my brother's wedding recently, and I think it was the right place for me to use it. It worked best with flash on, as the "echos" show up strongest on darker areas. So when it worked faces were less affected while the darker backgrounds had stronger echos.
But it doesn't always work as you hope it will - it's unpredictable, and sometimes the echoes are overwhelming and sometimes they're barely visible.
All in all, a fun film and one I'd recommend to anyone who fancies doing something a bit different and creative but not with shots of great importance.
Nikon FM with 35mm lens on a tripod for every photo. Metered at 12 and added 4 stops to match the 0.8 ISO of the film. It was worth a try but I just had the film processed and no prints. Processing results in positives which I photographed via a digital camera. A bit disappointed but I like to try different films. Needed adjustment of blacks and post processing to get to an image worth seeing. Native film processed looks a bit dull.
Haven't used slide film for years so I thought I'd give it a go again. It wasn't very bright in the forest but the film coped well hand held. Vivid colours in other daytime shots. Pricy so you have to manage what you shoot.
Great film. Comes out nice and vibrant and great quality.
I tried this film for it's affordability. Whilst it looks great and holds up against more expensive films, it was surprisingly grainy. However the contrast is great.
