from Glazers Summary: This film is now my default for all color work. It is nearly as easy to work with as print films. The grain will fool the most advid Med-format user out of the fact that it was shot on 35mm! However, you really need the extra chrome when a lot of gradiants are desired. Regardless, this film is sharp! Did a long fashion shoot in less than perfect lighting. I pushed the film two full stops with little color shift! The Astia I shot, only pushed one, looked much worse. Due to the lattitude I use it for landscapes as well after blowing out skies with Velvia (have to have graduated ND w/ Velvia)
What can I say - this is the cutting edge of film! Strengths: Tightest Grain of any color film - End of story! (at the moment, of course)
Very usable color pallette with plenty of color saturation without going loony (not insane like Velvia)
Pushes very well (2 full stops!)
Better lattitude than nearly any slide I have used. Weaknesses: Really none!
It has that Fuji look to it, but I find that this film takes well to manipulation
via push effects and filtration. Similar Products Used: Velvia
Elite 100VS
Astia
Sensia
Agfa RSX50 Customer Service: Never had to use.
