Subject: RE: [APML] Supra 800 film
Bert, I did quite a few tests of Supra 800 and no
reds either. They use is quite a lot in the northern parts of the world
for Auorora photography.
Hi Craig and Pat and other film people:
Well, here's some more data on the Supra800
question---I took some quick and dirty shots last weekend with Supra800 and
EliteChrome200 (aka Ektachrome200) and got the results this morning. I don't
see much in the way of reds! In fact, I found the cyan shift of the Supra
rather startling. Furthermore, the supposed greater dynamic range of
negative vs slide film was cancelled out by what I believe is pretty severe
reciprocity failure. These were all UNhypered film shots and only 20-25
minute exposures. Scanned from the film with the default settings on my
Polaroid SprintScan 35 Plus, so there should be no scanner-induced
shifts.
I can't rule out that the processor did
something strange with this one roll of Supra, but I had some Fuji NPG800
processed at the same time that turned out normally. Anybody else have some
Supra 800 results posted that we can compare?
Bert
