Astia 100F through the Hassy

I've had these transparancies hanging from my bookshelf for far too long...

Wonderful shot of a lovely model.

Scott,
You're just wrong for posting this photo. I've got Fuji 'Chrome film. I have either a 501/80mm Planar or Pentax 6x7/150mm. I ain't never gonna have a model like Roxanna in front of one of my cameras.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh great now I'm going to want to shoot color film too! ;)

Great photograph!

You should post of your film work - it has a life that your spectacular digital work doesn't quite match.

Double Dang DUH!

For all of you medium format folks out there wishing to burn up some C-41 color negative film: I collected my latest roll of film from Walmart yesterday. 1 roll of 120. Develop only. $0.91/roll tax included. I can't develop B&W film for 91 cents a roll. Go for it!

Well that does it. Ordering some 120 color film nowish.

Ektar 100 is punchy and nice.
Portra 160 NC is subtle and nice.
Heck, they are all good. Even Portra 800 in 120 is great.

Ordered Fujicolor Pro 400H, will try the others at some point as well.

Interesting choice. I seem to have gravitated toward Kodak. I do have a rather large stash of Fujicolor 160.

[srwatters]

Dang it all you guys! I have a 5 pack of Ektar in the cooler and now I'm going to have to find something gorgeous to put in front of the Hassy.

You've been warned!

[venchka]

Oh good grief. Must we?
LOL!

That choice was based only one what showed up as available for shipment via Amazon Prime. Sounds like Ektar is well regarded though so I'll look into picking up some different color films next time I venture to Houston Camera Co-Op.

The Co-op stocks 120 Ektar 100. Or did when I bought a 5 roll box.
Did we tell you about Freestyle Photo? Great place for online ordering of things you can't get locally.
