Film & Roll - It will be a sweet week!
« on: July 14, 2013, 08:43:48 PM »
Just got new film from Adorama. I already have Ektar 100 loaded on the OM-1 and Portra 400 on the Pentax.

I can't wait to shoot Acros with the P67ii.

Congrats, lovely stuff (both cameras and film). Acros in MF is just something else. For a medium fast film, there is no better. TMAX100 may have an edge on sharpness, and as fine a grain, it doesn't have the silky smooth tonal gradation that Acros has. At least not in the developers I've been using.

Mine too, though I may change my mind with respect to Ektar once I get to shoot more Portra and Pro 400H.

I like the results I've been getting with 400H; wicked tight grain and a color balance that looks more like Portra's.
