Hit and miss
Overexposed by one stop to reduce contrast, but still found the scans hit and miss (through no fault of The Darkroom’s staff, mind you). Recovered acceptable quality with minor editing, but nothing to make me famous. Seriously though, part of the problem could have been with the camera (and not just with the photographer) – a recently acquired and subsequently repaired (by me) Mamiya/Sekor 1000 DTL. This one has a working light meter, but only on the SPOT setting, which covers a mere 6% of the frame. Used that instead of my Sekonic, or even Sunny 16, so my results may have had as much to do with where I pointed that metering patch within the compositionShow more
Response from The Darkroom Photo Lab
Thanks for the detailed review! Spot metering can throw things off, but glad you still pulled usable shots. Appreciate you sending it our way.
Super duper curly and hard to scan but awesome contrast.
Not sure if it was my process or what but MAN was this film almost impossible to load into the holders on the Epson V850pro. I think the film has some potential with some serious contrast but the 120 film was really hard to scan.
Phenomenal: high contrast, crisp lines, almost like an etching.
there is absolutely no halation in this film, so high-contrast lines come out beautiful. i expose it 1/2 stop higher than the scene highlights at 400speed. dont try exposing for shadow detail, that is where most people go wrong.
would recommend for sunny street and architecture photography or mid to dark skin tones in studio/sunlight. excels in harsh light, its like getting a b&w comic frame that is photorealistic.Show more
