Film Scans

The top one was shot with the newish Kodak Portra 400, Hasselblad 500C/M and Carl Zeiss 80mm f/2.8.  I like the color and the grain isn't bad at all.

The middle two were shot using a Yashica Mat-124G and Kodak Ektar 100.  I like the color and everything.  I am always pleasantly surprised by how good the images are coming from such a small lens of such primitive contraption.

The bottom one was shot using a Nikon FE and Kodak 400VC.  I don't like the color and grain at all.  This is not the first time.  I don't know if it's because underexposed.

Portra 400 Ektar 100

I just noticed this Portra 400 no longer denotes NC or VC.  A quick trip to Kodak tells me this Portra 400 replaces the good old 400 NC and 400 VC.  Is it going to be good at both or neither?  We will find out.

I saw the prints in their booth, except for the head shot by Ryan Muirhead, I am not impressed with the other two, especially the night shot, the face has absolutely no details, it's like mud.  As for the wedding shot, the face is just too white and has no details--this is from yours truly who has never have any pictures published.  Anyway, I will try them to see what shows up.
