Review 1 of 6

Price Paid: $14.00 from Freestyle Sales

Summary:

This film gets The Shots you want to keep in full sunshine or nighttime. The fine-scale pointilistic granularity is especially effective for nature shots -- flowers, meadows, clouds, etc. Subjects with a black background take on a delightful velvet-painting effect.

Strengths:

surprisingly sharp
pleasant grain doesn't get in the way
natural, vivid color

Weaknesses:

one-half to one stop slower than rated
hard to get
relatively expensive

Similar Products Used:

Fuji 100/1000

Customer Service:

The labs I've used don't seem to have any problems push-processing the film

PROVIA 1600 (RSP)

Summary:

Although the cost of processing the stuff is a tad more than normal, the results were surprisingly good considering it a bloody fast film (exposed at ISO-1600). Highly recommended for concerts.

Strengths:

Quite sharp considering ISO-1600
Great for concerts / other nightlife

Weaknesses:

Processing little more expensive because of push/pull processing

Similar Products Used:

None. Don't like Kodak at all, so there's not much left.

Customer Service:

Um... Yeah... Film... What - no warranty cards to send in..?

Summary:

Good film for low light. Used to shoot a car race at night in fog. Produced good results. Not excellent but good condidering conditions. If you live in a small town like me it's hard to get your downtown drugstore to push process.

Strengths:

Good film for star trails and moonscapes. Pushes very well.

Weaknesses:

None.
