rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bkalafut - Velvia and Ektachrome 100GX are well-suited to photography of raindrops on roses; for whiskers on kittens Astia 100F or, if print film is acceptable, Portra would be better. For at least another fourteen months, there's...

Poloroid 600 Film, Double Pack. Discontinued! Going, Going GONE!!

Sun, 6 Sep 2009 09:06:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author popsrocks - Do you have one of the standard Polaroid cameras? If yes, then get Polaroid 600 film while you still can. Right now there are a couple of alternatives to the lack of in-store stock. 600 Double pack and all Polaroid films have...

The classic, probably soon breathing its last.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmk9561 - Kodachrome of various varieties and speeds has been around for 70 years. It's had accurate and archival color far longer than any other color film had either. I'm basing this review on the only roll of Kodachrome 64 I've ever shot. ...

The universal B&W film

Fri, 6 Mar 2009 10:25:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmk9561 - Tri-X Pan has been around for over 50 years. The current film was introduced in 2003, and isn't exactly the same as the stuff from 1954. It wouldn't matter except that the slight change upset some fans of the old film. This film is...

Shoot it while you still can.

Sun, 4 Jan 2009 21:05:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bkalafut - When in 2002 Kodak discontinued Kodachrome 25, the best color film ever mass-produced, one could feel a sense of loss among serious color photo hobbyists and apprehension that Kodachrome, the film on which so much of the best color art,...

Excellent choice for lower light shooting

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:14:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmk9561 - The picture on this page shows the package for 400, but this review is for 800 as the description lists.Fuji Superia X-Tra is an 800 ASA color print film which is easily available most anywhere. The large 4 packs are very inexpensive. ...

Emotional like Tri-X, easy like color.

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:42:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmk9561 - I'm a big fan of available light photos. Using a discreet camera indoors with a slow shutter speed, some of the most incredibly candid and real photos are possible. A big part of this is camera choice-quick picks in cost order Minox 35EL,...

Amazing results from probably the last new big film.

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:51:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmk9561 - For those of you who have shot much Professional 100UC, this film is quite similar. It could fairly be considered an evolution of that line. Taken on its own, Ektar is both an incredible product and a statement about film photography as an art. I...

The only color film I shoot

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 22:45:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author darkside9923 - I been shooting Fuji Superia for over 6 years now. I've tried AGFA films a few times and wasn't to happy with the grain, and I've also tried the Kodak Gold films and I didn't feel the color rendition was as good as that from Fuji. Features: -...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author popsrocks - I have been using Polaroid film for almost half a century. I knew the first Polaroid Automatic 100 Land Camera that then developed to the The black and white Polaroid Swinger camera. It was a sort of digital camera of its day. A picture could be seen...

Ilford Delta 100

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 16:08:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rmendales - This is one of the finest black and white films that I have used. It gives almost grainless enlargements to 11 x 14," with good contrast and fine tonal gradations, so that a good 35mm negative taken with it approaches medium format...

Fujicolor Pro 160

Mon, 6 Nov 2006 23:35:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author samborina - great film, slower speed requires steady hand or tripod, super value for portrait quality especially if developed on fuji paper by quality...

Now replaced by VELVIA 100 (NO F)

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 16:46:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colonialpara - One thing that continues to amaze me about FUJI of Japan is that despite the inroads of digital technology into all areas of photography, that the company still improves its analog film products. In my opinion, the company should be lauded for its...

handheld shots in the dark

Tue, 4 Jul 2006 18:31:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author uniq - I love to experiment with cool things and I love to try the unusual. About a year ago I got an unusual assignment and I used the opportunity to explore the realm of insane ISO's; both digitally and with film. I shot a series of images for a local...

A disappointing ISO100 film

Sat, 8 Apr 2006 18:31:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ozawa - My local camera shop had some of this on sale for US$1 a roll, so I thought I'd give it a try. Color rendition: Colors were displayed with a neutral saturation--you won't get eye-popping color with this film, and many people will find the saturation...

ULTRA Colors and FASTER Film!

Fri, 7 Apr 2006 17:14:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colonialpara - At the risk of sounding immodest, I think the title I chose says it all. Not on my behalf, but on behalf of a color print film that may just be the finest and lushest ISO 400 speed color film EVER brought to market. The film I refer to is KODAK's...

Max versatility? Not exactly, but has its virtues...

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 08:27:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ozawa - I found this film to be better than I expected--the last high-speed Kodak films I've tried were Ektar 1000 and Gold 1600 from the early '90s. Those were horrid films, so I wasn't expecting too much from Max 800. I bought the film for taking mostly...

Great 400 speed film

Sun, 19 Mar 2006 05:20:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author claj78 - Kodak 400UC is almost certainly the best 400 speed print film that I have ever used. I mostly shoot nature photos using a Canon Rebel 2000 and 28-105 lens. I use the local Kodak drop boxes to develop most of my everyday photos. Grain: What I noticed...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colonialpara - KODAK Ektachrome 100GX is one of those slide film products that the first company of film imaging brings to market that proves that digital still has a way to go before it can take over completely.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author colonialpara - Despite the massive encroachment of digital imagery into just about all spheres of photography, every now and then a brand new film is introduced.
