To echo the above, these seem fine. The middle ones might could use a bit more exposure and less development for the lighting, or perhaps not depending on intended "mood."
I had massive trouble getting back on this site until lately. I'm not that smart anyway. Probably 90% of what I know about film sensitivity is in that post. I'm an amateur photographer of 70 years experience. I remember all of the wonderful claims for the newest, latest, and fastest films ever. Very few of these wonder films ever were all that wonderful. NOTHING has ever replaced Ansco's Supreme. NOTHING has ever really replaced Plus-X. As far as that goes, even Verichrome and Verichrome Pan do things that no other film can do. Except for Ansco's competitive product, and even that had it's own personality. Kodak would love to get rid of Tri-X, and hook everyone up with T-Max 400. The funny thing about this is that the only real difference between films is in the soup they coat it with. All the rest of the roll films are made on the same equipment. Wide rolls of whatever are sliced to 120 or 35 and what usta' be film pack film. The other line makes sheet film, and cuts it to different sizes. If I ran Kodak, we'd still be making batch runs of 122 and 116. Maybe even 118 (quarter plate roll film). Advertise it like the flavor of the month. "For June, the flavor of the month is Verichrome. First week and a half, 120, other half of the second week, 118. Third week, 116. Fourth week, 122". That's 20 work days. Leaves a couple of days at the end of the month to clean up the old soup, and start cooking the next soup. Of course, I don't have a degree in economics. So they wouldn't let me near the place. My expertise was in production engineering, or in other words, making stuff.
Hi premortho, good to see you here. What do you think about an entrepeneur starting production of film that is as similar as possible to Ansco Supreme, Plus-X and Verichrome Pan? Is the equipment and know-how available and willing to do this? Money is usually not the issue if the business case and means of production can be found.
Has anyone tried using orange filters to darken skies with this film? I was looking at the spectral transmission graphs for some of B+W's green,yellow and orange filters, and there are a few orange ones that reduce transmission below mid-green.
I want to darken skies, because my outdoor shots look like they were taken during supernova. Evaluating my options and wondering if any of you guys have maybe tried colour filters with these films.
