"Higher ISO film is better in low light circumstances. " "The higher the number the better in dark or low light" But higher ISO film can have a disadvantage compared to lower ISO film: It has lower contrast and pictures taken in low light tend to have lower contrast. Compare Ilford HP 5 (400 ISO) to Ilford FP4 (125 ISO) and you now what I mean.

I started with film, because I have the same problem when shooting with my smartphone taking around 70 pictures in a 14 days trip and didnt even rewatch them until today and even now when i use my Fuji Xs-10 i am limited to 4 recipes (more than enough) and shoot like it would be film taking time for the shot.

I shot a lot of Ilford XP2 mainly because I could get it for cheap, and the lab near me only developed C41. Solid choice still pick some up when it’s on sale or I wanna mess around. And for anyone who cares and doesn’t get the emails Lomography has some nice sales on films rn. A lot of their experimental stuff but I saw some Color Negative and B&W sales. Keep on everyone!

black and white film can also be pushed way further than color film, and in general is much more forgiving in the event of an incorrect exposure

The first film stock I shot was Fuji Superia Xtra. Then it went away just as fast. I can find Color Max locally along with Gold. Just recently bought some Porta 160 for my Yashica in 120, really liked how that turned out.

IDK about tip 2. the difference between a cheap re-spooled film stock like candido and a stock like portra 400 isn't that big, especially in the face of developing and scanning. right now candido is $14 a roll and Portra 400 is $15 a roll in a 5 pack, so with developing and scaning it'll be around $35-45 or ~$1 a picture. I would actually recommend that beginners buy a good and consistent film stock like portra 400 and learn the ins and outs of that stock. I'd rather have expensive misses than have a shot ruined by cheap film stock issues like excessive grain, light leaks and poor quality control. When so many things can go wrong having a good reliable film stock is critical to getting results you want. Id rather a beginners invest in their craft than get B- products just to save like like $1-3. Film is expensive just get use to it now

I have to disagree on "they could make normal 400 ISO film". I think they can't. Color Mission is frozen stock manufactured years ago by/with a now gone partner company. They sell it to fund research on manufacturing color film on their own (hence the "mission"). That is an incredibly difficult task and I believe helios is the first sellable byproduct of this process. It hasn't been sold here in Germany yet afaik.

As someone who shot film in my childhood (because what else would I have used 😂) then digital came along, I restarted with kodak gold because it was cheap. €7,95 for a 3-pack. Good times. I never liked the look of it, thought, so I stuck to Ultramax for casual photos. Ektar is amazing in the summer, especially for landscapes. Portra 800 when I need the ISO. I also really like Aerocolor (Flic Film Elektra for example). High quality respooled film for a reasonable price. Standard prints look off though because it's missing the orange base. I shot my first slides on vacation last week, I'm excited and worried for the results.

Sound. At the risk of copping filmo hate, If we're talking total beginners coming from say phone photography, then learn on digital, in manual mode, with a fixed, low iso. You can make a thousand mistakes on digital and it costs you nothing. You can use the digital camera to scan negs down the line... As for film stock (yeah the point...), keep it consistent, versatile and cheap. Kentmere for B&W, Kodak or Fuji consumer grade for colour. But consistency is key when learning.

Nice advice. I got a few rolls of Flic Film Chrome 100 which is respooled Ektachrome but I think I’ll hold off on testing it for now. I’ve been experimenting a lot but unfortunately all my favorite shots are on Portra400. Wish it was Fuji 400 but that looked nice too.
@lancegailyard90832 күн бұрын
I've shot Fomapan, Tri X, TMaxx, Ultramax, and Gold thus far. It has been a great journey and learning curve coming from digital. I have a roll of each Portra, but I probably won't use it till maybe next summer.

My local Camera shop will sell Fuji Color 200 (Kodak) for only $6.75 a roll. I picked up 10 rolls just to keep me busy for the summer. Not all that interesting but definitely cheap to learn and make mistakes from.

If it's the same price or less than the Pentax, I'm buying it. From what I've seen, the build quality of the Pentax is questionable. Personally, I'd prefer the half frame, but I'll settle for a better camera.
