Re: [APML] PPF film

Dave, Chris,

 

I tend to agree. With the Rg200 looking as promising if not more than PPF was, why take the chance. I felt I just had to throw this at you guys to see what you thought about it.

I picked 5 rolls of RG100. I havent hypered any yet, but plan on doing so as I'm curious to compare it to the Rg200.

After all the talk about everyones PPF looking like its at the end of its day...I'm wondering if I/we should stay away from anyone selling this film.

Any thoughts ?

Mike,

I'm still using some PPF occasionally, I have about 8-10 rolls left.  It doesn't do well if you hyper it any more, but it seems to be OK unhypered.  I think Matt still uses it in medium format?  It does have a fair amount of grain, not sure if it's worse than before. But you can do some things to reduce that. I took this shot with it in December.
