Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $13.00 from BH

Summary:

Love this film crossprocessed C-41....great look with attractive grain and wild intense color. The displayed images are stunning. The prints are splashy...the look I like. (PS I have never used this film processed E-6)

My feeling is that if smooth, grainless and photo realistic pictures are desired, shoot digital. For this type image, you can't beat D3,5D,1D,D700.

Strengths:

very sharp with attractive grain and color as mentioned above.

Weaknesses:

way too expensive

Similar Products Used:

all the slide, print and BW films for 35mm and 120...too many to list but with this film x processed, I get effects in displayed pictures similar to the now sadly discontinued K200 which is my all time favorite film.

Customer Service:

none

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid:  $10.00

Summary:

Yep its fast slide film, small latitute, behaves strangly in anything but strong sunlight. Grainy, acceptable if it was print film, obviously not for an E6 emulsion. Pricy and the results aren't stunning, honestly for the grain and color you are better off shooting something slower outside or C41 inside. I give it 2 stars, because honestly its not THAT bad.

Strengths:

Colors are about even with Elitechrome 100

Weaknesses:

Yep its grainly - visual inspection doesn't reveal it bt scan or project it and its plainly clear that the color isn't solid, just a mess of grains.

Similar Products Used:

Elitechrome 100, K64, nothing else in this speed class
