Jeez louise. What film and camer

Jeez louise. What film and camera do you use?

I think this is going to hit those shooters quite hard because it seems as if many were really using the look of this film as part of their style. Anyone knows or suspects that Fuji may create a cheaper version of Pro 400H? According to the article it was due to difficulties obtaining raw materials so maybe that is possible.

This was done with B&W film too. - most slide film is crazy expensive, even compared to pro negative film (I can buy 3 rolls of portra400 for the price of a single roll of provia100f). Is this the gimbal to get? With film I mostly use my fuji gx680 or the Eos 1 line Portra or b/w. That same in analog is economically unfeasible unless you keep the reels undisclosed, as Vivian Maier did.

But for them its just business of course.

I'm not holding my breathe for a miracle, but I'd love for this film to continue production somehow.

A few years ago I was shooting colour negative film and accidentally overexposed by three stops. The same emotions, here.

In this guide we've chosen a selection of cameras that make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images, ideal for sharing on social media. The updates don't bring any new features or functionality, but do address a number of bugs present in the company's X-A5, X-A7, X-H1, X-T100 and X-T200 APS-C mirrorless cameras. Kolari Vision has completed its Nikon Z9 teardown, showcasing the flagship mirrorless camera's distinct design, impressive heatsink, extensive flex cables and much more. A lot prefer B&W for different reasons, but I think it's safe to assume no one considers c41 as 'just for snapshooters'.

Funny.

No..I use Fuji 400H Pro 120mm for my wedding photography. ), Film Friday: How Markus Hofstaetter uses 'smart home' tools to automate his darkroom and studio, Micron ships its 232-layer 3D NAND flash with more storage, better performance and a smaller package size, Photographer Reuben Wu uses drones to shed new light on Stonehenge for the National Geographic August cover. Pure Development of one 35mm Film via meinfilmlab.de is 7.99 EUR, without Scanning.

That is you confine yourself and shoot in a scene that doesn't exceed the dynamic range. Kodak has stopped making slide film for some time now (ignoring the newly made e100), because they had little use for it since Ektar exists. In practise it depends what sensor one uses.

its just your taste for film color is totally wrong (i kid).

Just started last year with B&W, and film in 135 format is even more challenging regarding final quality.Encouraging results though & beautiful tonalities, just finalized my workflow with a choice of film, processing & scanning. Which is probably what most people do. In contrast there is zero progress of CMOS Bayer sensors with respect to highlight recovery since nearly ten years.

Only a millionaire could shoot 50 photos a day without ruining your pocket. To that newbie here, it's pretty much clear, that it doesn't look like 400H, it was about Alternatives, and Kodak is much more a Name for Color into the Film Business, than Fujifilm.

Better watch to find out.

Wasn't it announced like two years ago that Superia (100/200 at least) was stopping?

Click to enlarge. This time, Sandlin shows how Kodak applies light-sensitive coating to the film support base we saw produced in the first factory tour.

So i am on the Kodak Train, as before.

Colour negative provides wonderful photos if used correctly. Personally I rather shoot chromes since I shoot landscapes and enjoy the saturated colors more.. I hope 2021 will be better. Don't you have it backwards?

Wow - deeply saddened to hear this news, as a long time medium format shooter, I really enjoy using Pro400h, and I do hope that perhaps like Acros and Ektachrome, that we see them resource different materials (since that seems to be the crux of the issue) and produce improved, or reissued Pro400h II :) I'll keep my fingers crossed, as there must still be a high demand film wise for the single remaining color film stock vs. Kodak in the medium format marketplace.

My first reaction was, well this sucksI loved Fuji Pro 400H.

It's small, inexpensive and incredibly wide.

But is it enough to outclass the competition?

I am holding a stock of roughly 80 rolls of film. Indie b&w sector is thriving, but I cannot see any new independent colour film manufactures coming along (aside from those repurposed-stock mini-brands).

It might be nearly a decade old, but Nikon has released a firmware update to fix a live view problem its D7100 has when connected to a computer. Tokina is restructuring its product lineup by announcing price increases on 13 of its lenses, each of which will receive a slight rebrand in the process.

I have a romantic attachment to medium format, but I just want to get on with things and film is slowing me down.

With negative film, you really don't know until you scan or print.

DALL-E 2 can generate photorealistic images from a text description.

It was the film look that every wedding photographer on instagram was using on VSCO for about 4 years, most of them having never touched the real thing.

The Sustainable Darkroom has released re-source, a new book that provides 'the most extensive collection of writing on sustainable photographic practice to date,' highlighting more environmentally-friendly ways to capture and develop analog images.

Have you ever seen a painting come to life, like the portraits in Harry Potter?

I thought slide film was on the endangered list, or at least it seemed that way until Ektachrome came back.

Whats the best camera for around $2000?

It's a shame, but it is what it is.

Colour negative was of course a far bigger seller - but the market was almost exclusively for casual photographers who only put 3 or 4 films through a camera on holidays.

It gets the film to give the soft pastel look. Has this something to do with Corona? Most are already empty. Because I have shot far less film than I intented to. I wanted to order some boxes of 120 and my usual supplier has none left.

xeppelin, actually film use is on the rise, with Kodak's sales doubling in the last few years and numerous companies, such as Kodak and Ilford, bringing back or out new films.

High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important.

I hope that Fuji finds a strategy comparable to Acros 100 which was also axed because of issues with raw material supply and then re-appeared as Version 2. Buy D70s, it is a tad better ;)Yes it was my first dSLR, good memories.

Joris - interesting comments, thank you.

@vscd: I have never seen a full format sensor which shows identical detail and noise in shadows if you underexpose by 3 stopsit might be usable, but definitely not for Fineart prints. Maybe. :-).

Color film just doesn't have any advantage over digital anymore. Please support the two major players to keep the remaining film stocks alive.

Overexposing some color negative film seems to be the default way these days, "Fuji advertises the film simulations available in their digital cameras" that is like trying to convince the analog community to use RAW presets on their digital images.

And few ppl are flaming here really along, without getting noticed by DPR Staff, that is a real insult for the Community, and others. I imagine Kodak will react by hiking, yet again, the price of Portra beyond it's already ridiculous current price. Not picking a fight, just stating a fact.

We got our hands on a production version of Canon's entry-level EOS R10 and took it for a spin.

Fortunately, we fixed it. Its always hard to see any of films being discontinued, but Fujifilm are famous for that . Things have apparently changed since then.

It's a bummer. A wedding without Fuji 400H is no wedding.

None of these small companies delivers color negativ and slide films which are even close to Fuji or Kodak material.

RJGee the idea for overexposing 3 stops is that it changes the look of the film.

And i shoot 95% b&w, XP2 Super, HP5+, TriX 400, APX 100, mostly.

At least that was the case in most UK camera clubs and competitions. So its not a big deal actually taking in count that Superia 400 isnt very different but its still available in 135 format only . For example, Ektar 100 I find it hard to get the color right. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality.

I used an Epson V600 with Epsonscan software.

Like buying new camera every two year, new lenses.

Love between humans? And yes, with good sensors you can pull 3 stops from the shadows.

"Pulling" 3 stops of overexposure?

Canon Australia has provided 10 of its EF 400mm F2.8 L IS II lenses to Macquarie University, Sydney, to build the Huntsman Telescope, a 'first of its kind' array in the southern hemisphere that studies faint, distant galaxies.

But now with really good full frame cameras so cheap, it's just not making sense anymore. The possibilities are infinite.

You can easily apply grain in post if the client wants it.

Canon has released a trio of firmware updates that add new and improved features and functions to its EOS R3, R5 and R6 full-frame cameras.

Nikon has announced the Z30, an entry-level Z-mount camera aimed at vloggers and other content creators. Having processed all kinds of film from 35mm B&W to 8X10 sheets of transparency film in-house for decades for international clients, I'd say "a higher level of respect" comes from the image regardless if its from a phone or a daguerreotype.

Thirty years ago. Bummer. Black and white film is a different story and thankfully there is still plenty of cheap film to go around.

Since I often would bracket, I could tell immediately which shot was right.

We can hopebut looking at the revival of ACROS, the sourcing of 'different materials' was less about the actual sourcing of materials and more about outsourcing the production to Harman/Ilford. DPR "should" acquire the factory and keep the film alive. The result was spectacular and as good as the frames correctly exposed.

Still mad at them for dicontinuing Provia 400X! The other advantage with chromes is you know immediately whether you got the exposure right. With this special touch from my old nikon-hardware.

The Nikon Z30 is the company's latest 'creator' focused mirrorless camera, a 21MP APS-C model made to be more vlogging friendly than ever.

So. those people just reuse already exposed film and don't buy new stock? No matter whether or not a few people refuse to accept "digital reality". We dive deep to find out where it excels and what it's like to fly.

We need fresh film, too. What you may think is "high demand" is nothing like what it takes to sell out an emulsion run of film.You can't make "just a little" film.

Fujifilm stopped producing Superia at least decade ago, why do you think they would start to sell it now?

Until now, the offerings from the likes of Delkin, ProGrade Digital and Sony topped out at 160GB.

I don't know about the US but here in Europe stores are running out quick. Don't worry, we're a hardy lot, and have overcome worst in the past. :-).

Oh dear that's a blow for all the retro revivers!

@vscd, be my guest and shoot at -3 stops then try and recover the shadows to where they should be if exposing normally.

The naming conventions for smaller sensors are confusing and misleading, so we're going to change the way we talk about them.

@panther"And people tend to favor the "pastel" color negative look over everything else these days.". - (way) easier to develop (at home). A excellent LowCost Alternative (ISO 100 Speed) is Kodak ProImage 100, costs =< 30 EUR as 5-Pack 135mm Rolls. Look at any color film in 120, it's quite expensive.

I was going back and forth whether to try portra or this. Ive given up hope with Fuji and film. While I'm not an active film photographer, I really enjoyed using Fuji Pro400H.

- Iso ranges from 25 to 1600 and maybe even more.- Loads and loads of dynamic range, making it forgiving to shoot.- lots of 'styles' , from punchy to low contrast, from saturated to portrait, from tungsten to daylight.

Alas, at least Fujifilm brought Acros in terms of Acros II back, albeit for such ridiculous Pricesit costs usually 10 EUR more or less, for one 35mm Roll.

In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting landscapes, and recommended the best.

My order got canceled even though they said they have some left in stock. I also shoot colour negative once in a while and I prefer the greens on Pro 400H to Portra, although I know its on trend to kill all of your greens on IG these days.

Ive noticed in lock down that even though weve all got more time on our hands, that to me the feeling is that Lifes too short to shoot film. It's also much harder to scan than colour negative.

Seems I was too late, Also looked last night and did not realize it would go so quickly And saw several places that had it. - specially at the lower Iso ranges, doesn't leave anything on the table if you're talking about detail and sharpness.

but I understand that is very valuable for many, and the 1 stop overexposed look has become a standard look for creamy weeding. Most lab managers claimed to have their own "special recipe" for film processing. yes, fully agree!

Very impressive. Most modern cameras will shoot video to one degree or another, but these are the ones wed look at if you plan to shoot some video alongside your photos.

Analog photographer guru Markus Hofstaetter shows how he merges 21st-century technology with a 20th-century experience to streamline his analog photography workflow.

Superia is the affordable brand and in 120 it won't be cheap.

Later i delete a lot of photos, 80 or 90%, but it amuses me.

So that's going to be one less.

It's time to take a look at what Panasonic is doing right and wrong with their cameras in 2022.

Researchers from the Samsung AI Center have developed a new neural technology to animate static images with impressive realism and resolution.

that was my fav color film. What are our initial impressions? 3 stops overexpose on negative film is like 3 stops underexpose on your digital sensor. However, I found Portra to be pretty easy. In this buying guide weve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.

Cinestill depends on vision 3 from Kodak.

So even for MY lowest possible development cost the difference is between Portra 160 17 per roll (9+8) or Pro image 14 per roll (6+8) is only 18% in savings.

This makes me glad I picked up a couple of 5-packs of 120 in the summer when I got a good deal on it. I hear the Nikon D70 is a good starter camera for digital.

Yeah I agree with the above, Negative film is way more popular for reemerging film users, Slide film almost competes with digital via colors and shooting style, so we definitely see more folks heading to color and BW negative for a different capture medium vice slide.

Yeah, it had it's own look.

What you see is really what you get. I was amazed how close the results came to the film-simulation of my xt4.

As the Lux Junior alluded to, Godox is back with a new Lux Senior, which is larger and more powerful with an equally-retro design.

Digital keeps up to a point bringing in more and more tonal gradation with increased light and then boom, highlight clipping. I love my Rolleiflex T, and I love developing my own B/W film, but its getting more expensive by the day and honestly the advantages over digital are really just personal taste at this point as well as enjoying the alchemy of the process.

What are you paying for your development to make it worth it?

the silbersalz is actually using kodak vision, unlike the cinestill. Around 5 EUR.

Self developed and scanned, popped them into Lightroom and totally rescued that half of the roll.

My clients love fuji 400h colours! 21 was a good price 30 is not. Also slide are a lot more expensive to buy and to process now.

With medium format sensors @low iso it was no problem.

Panther, untrue. A data recovery expert in Poland, Enter Serwis, has shown off how they use a Spider Board to recover data from a non-functioning memory card.

Most often, we would go into labs and find they had the Kodak "Z" manual alright, but they were still sealed in the original wrapper and never read.Even at HUGE commercial labs, the process quality was laughable. For day to day use and having fun and instagram film fun it has to be color neg without restricting yourself when you can shoot slides. I havent forgiven Fujifilm for killing Neopan 400. I just wanted to state that overexpose on negative films is too compare to digital *shadows*. Anyone can shoot digital but film requires skill.

Fuji PLEASE!!! It's a *negative* color film.

Then I thought about it and realized I haven't bought any in over 10 years. Good luck on that, especially if using Canon sensors!

For more expensive development that price shrinks even further. With negative film, you expose for the shadows and the whites have a good chance of not clipping. Do that with digital? There are many very active analog communities, just check out reddit, youtube or instagram: https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/.

Ferano seem to have gone nowhere with their promise of a new colour film.

I just got some of the last 35mm rolls.

Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day is back with the second part of his three-part tour of the Kodak factory.

I think it provides better color prints.

Ther really is no point anympre in shooting color film.

They quit superia 100/200 already in most markets 2 years ago, the c200 was already gone when I started with film in 2015. never cared for the cyan/green tint this stock had but i feel sad to see another film go, in the grand scheme of things it wont make a bit dent but if possible support small film companies such as ferrania, foma, kono to name a few. And people tend to favor the "pastel" color negative look over everything else these days.

guess it's Portra now. Then today all but one was out of stock ordered from there for dubble the price 3 rolls, Oh the wedding industry was hit twice this year.

I think the opposite is true, color negative is in far higher use than slide film.

@Xeppelin: According to Kodak the color negative market is growing fast. I think your response is a case of TLDR on your part, but I may be wrong. Fujifilm says it expects to be able to allocate stock of Pro 400H in the 120 format to last through the end of 2021, but the 35mm format has ceased production and sales as of January 14, 2021.

New labs are opening up again in many places.

I wonder if Fuji will bring something else out to replace it. Plus, it's not a money problem, it's a raw material problem, if you actually read the article. Sad news, but understandable.

Shooting film just makes you more selective, you learn to previsualize and decide if something is worth actually taking before you hit the shutter button.

I have never seen or heard about a lomography film which comes close to a Pro 400H or Portra.sorry, that is a myth.

Don't shoot 50 shots most days and didn't when I shot digital, am I doing it wrong?

And not everyone shoots 50 photos per day.

That's why we get paid the big bucks. You can still get across, provia, classic chrome, etc. A year ago I could buy a 5 pack at 21, now it is hard (but possible) to find it under 30, At 4 per roll, the money savings were substantial over Portra or Pro 400h.

Oh wow, I thought 400H would be one the ones to live-on. I dont know, about all that Price talk for Portra, it's a different league.

In german-speaking Europe color neg film was also mainly used for casual use / snapshooters. DPReview TV: Sensor sizes don't make any sense.

@marcWhere are you located?

I said development + scan. Also, this particular film is color toned for flesh.

My personal favorite lab takes 7.99 for a basic development + scan and 17.99 for development and a very high res scan.

I did even try a 4 stop over exposure but that introduced a cast and other colour shifts that I couldnt correct right away.

You can begin realizing your ideas as OpenAI, DALL-E's creator, has opened the AI up for public beta testing. Magnumdarkstar, The reason to shoot film for what it looks like, because it stamps its character all over the image.

Sigma CEO, Kazuto Yamaki, has stated in an interview that its much-anticipated full-frame Foveon sensor should be ready by the end of the year.

So in high contrast shooting, the negative film handles the range better.

Really only superia400 and 800 left here, and venus800 and Natura 1600 (which are just superia800/1600 for the Japanese market) available if I use webshops from Germany.

Is this what the Pro Neg simulation is based on? @marc PetzoldWell at 30 it is too close to Portra for my taste.

If those stocks are gone the lomo will be gone.

Pro Image 100 is nice, I shoot with it a lot. ;). @vscd, yes, technically you are right.

Do you mean most people will chose to not get married until they can get some 400H? Film eases much more gently into that area of highlight clipping, admittedly within certain limits of digital scanning in the event of taking a scan, but with relatively little headache for traditional printing. Hi, not a millionaire, shoot film. F400h and provia100f are the only things still for sale here fuji wise..

Those wnot wanting to create their images digitally, better start learning how to make their own wet plates. This is really disheartening. "There is no "surge" in film sales, just folks who have "rediscovered" film shooting." How are you applying grain to a digital photo to make it look like the film?

What's the best camera for shooting landscapes? In a notice posted on the Pro 400H product page, Fujifilm says the unique film is being discontinued due to issues with procur[ing] the raw materials needed to produce Pro 400H film. It reads, in part: FUJIFILM PRO 400H film is a unique product that is coated with a fourth layer requiring specialized raw materials and chemicals.

Otherwise we now only have Kodak colour negatives in medium format.

There are other smaller companies arisen such as Cinestill and their 800T is very good .

This second-generation lens is smaller than its predecessor and uses a stepping motor, compared to the linear ultrasonic motors used in Samyang's first-generation 85mm F1.4 AF lens.

@Stujomo, thats the best comment and spot on accurate.. @tom43 - I regularly push my GFX50R files by three stops in post clean as a whistle, and I sell fine art prints from the resulting file. In this article, Australian landscape photographer Mitch Green shares five important lessons he wishes he had learned years ago.

I go out three days a week with my GR. @entomanI share your impression re.

Pro Image 100 is a cheap Replacement, albeit different Colors, Rendering than Reala 100.

Chromes ISO ends around 100 while you can get higher ratings with negative film.

Times and tastes have clearly changed!
