Kodak Pro Image 100

[Fortigurn]

I have a new favourite film - Kodak Pro Image 100. It has fulfilled my search for a high saturation fine grain film.

My previous favourite (and still a film I'm very keen on), was Kodak 200 HD. Let's compare some shots.

It won't be a very fair comparison, because I'm using different camers and lenses, but it will give an idea of the two films.





These were taken with my F80, using a 28-200mm zoom and Kodak HD 200. It's interesting to compare them with the next few shots, which I took using a different camera, lens, and film.

These were taken with my Dynax 5, using a 75-300mm zoom and Kodak Pro Image 100:

One of these days I'll remember my polarizer.

That building is the world's tallest? The top is in clouds!

That's 2IFC, in Hong Kong. It's not actually the world's tallest building, though it's 88 stories high. The world's tallest building is here in Taiwan, and it's 101 stories high.

It's called - wait for it - Taipei 101. Here it is:

Wow, that's a tall building. I hope it's earthquake proof.

I'd like to see how that film compares with Fuji Provia/Velvia in a high saturation image, say of flowers or something else colourful, maybe a Phillipino taxi.

It supposedly has anti-earthquake mechanisms, but any good seismologist will tell you there's no such thing as 'earthquake proof' in realit. Earthquakes are just too powerful. There's nothing you can do to stop a force which is moving tectonic plates.

I might have to try the Fujis. I used to love Fuji, back in the day when you could buy Fuji 800 Press (a lovely film, very versatile, with ultra fine grain), but when they stopped making that I was very disappointed with the replacement 800 (very cold).

I haven't tried the Provia/Velvia films, but then I'm into shooting prints not negatives.
