Worth All The Hype

I’ve been hearing about this film for years at this point. Even after reading all of the reviews, seeing the sample images, and watching the videos I was skeptical. I ran a roll through my Mamiya MSX and was blown away by the unique look this film gives.

First off, I just love this film. I think the tungsten color balance gives it a really cool look, especially for lower light/night shots (obviously). Only recommendation is to be very deliberate with your metering/exposure to control for your want/hate for the halations you can get with this film.
