![]() ![]() Kodak's R-type was actually pretty good and easy to work with, but the dye stability of Kodak R-type papers was horrible. Good luck even finding the materials to process Fuji any more either. At least Ultra 50 had some legitimate insanity to it.įuji's R-type process is much more forgiving than Ilford's Ilfochrome process. However, since many photographers can't tell contrast from true color saturation, Agfa is able to get away with this charade. Where Gold 100 yields dense, 57' Chevy reds and sapphire blues to die for, Ultra 100 will yield dark orange or pink and teal and trashed mid tones. Poor saturation with Gold 100 is the result of mixing it with Fuji or Agfa papers, which doesn't work, or some version of that mutant Endura paper I've noticed yields ruddy and weak reds.Īgfa Ultra 100 is nothing but the typical weak Agfa dye-set with cranked up contrast. Even Kodak new UC 100 and 400 can't touch Gold 100 in the saturation dept. The primaries of red/blue/green with Gold 100 will match or defeat any other print film *if* you combine it with the proper paper. ![]() Gold 100 *is* a high saturation film, and it's especially obvious when combined with glossy Kodak Royal or Supra paper. Otherwise they'll return an uncut strip in a little plastic canister. If you order only slides (no prints) from Dale, remember to specify that you want the negatives cut and sleeved. The slides (printed on Kodak Vision motion picture film) have their own palette that you'll either like or dislike, but with Portra/Ultra Color or Kodak High Definition 400 (the only currently-available films I've had printed as slides) they'll look like a modern high-saturation slide film. ![]() They return very decent slides that you can project or sort on a light box, along with negatives that you can print or scan. I shoot the latest ISO 400 color negative film and send it to Dale Labs to be printed as slides. If you like slides, you might try doing what I've done for years. The color isn't quite as zippy as Velvia, but it is very nicely saturated. The extra speed is very convenient, and the grain is very fine. But for general travel use I know of no better film than Portra/Ultra Color 400UC (they're the same film). When I need that, I simulate it digitally by increasing the saturation of scanned negatives. I don't know if there is a negative film with the amphetamine color of Velvia. Kodak and Fuji make well-regarded ones, but I wouldn't use them for travel unless most of your "travel" pictures are portraits. The negative film equivalent that immediately comes to mind is an ISO 160 portrait film. Kodachrome has low saturation and "natural" color compared with today's E-6 films. I don't understand how you're lumping both Kodachrome 64 and Velvia in the same "highly saturated color" basket. K64 and Velvia 50 that will print well on Fuji Crystal Archive. I don?t need a fast film just one with highly saturated colors like (I have used Portra 160 NC in 120 for some studio shots I?ve used in the last 8 years is Fuji 200 from Wal-Mart ?cause it Question I have is what color negative film is most like KodachromeĦ4? I would want to use the same film in 120 and 35mm. I may have to switch to a C41 film and forget shooting slides. But there doesn?t seem to be anĮasy for me to make a color print at home without going digital. I?m a Kodachome fan and was very pleased with our recent trip to Would like to make them using my color enlarger. I guess everyone is scanning slides and making digital prints. Kodak has discontinued internegative film. IĬan?t find a lab who makes a 6x9 internegative from a 35mm slideĪnymore. Well, a lot of things have changed in 8 years! R paper is gone. The intent of making 11x14 to 16x20 prints in our darkroom. Recently my wife and I have returned to shooting slides with I haven?t done a lot of serious color photography in the last 8 ![]()
