Re: [APML] Kodak m.v.p. 800

I scan the print because I dont have the option to scan the neg. but that make more than 4 years that I go to the same lab for my photos and they know what I want. Surely they can play with colors or something else but that's not what I want. Surely I'll visit a friend soon ... he have the negative scaner , I'll see what will come out but I didnt expect something better ! Visualy , without a magnifier , I can see on the negatives , the grain that my aurora pics show !!!

Ugh! Pretty bad.

Did you scan the negs or are these from prints?

Hi all !

The Kodak max versatility plus 800 dont pass my tests :( The milkyway is too turquoise ... the nebula are red but maybe this film is better at prime focus. and for the northern lights it's the worst film that I've tried It's a chance that I dont used it on a geomagnetic storm !!!! I've done the same work under photoshop that I do with all my other photos : unsharp-mask , and I play a litle bit with levels , that's all ! I try to show exactly what I have on my photos. You can see the results here http://astrosurf.com/aurores/test.htm , the details are under each picture.

It's the last time that I bought this film !!!

Clear skies !!!
