Subject: Re: [APML] RG 200 hypering
Hello All,
Forget anything I said a
few weeks ago about hypering RG200... since this is a "new" film I have been
working with, it took some shooting to probe out the characteristics of the
film. The end conclusion is this: overhypering kills this film, just like many
other films. The way to tell it has been overhypered is... it will have a
bluish color in the rebate... this means that too many receptor sites have
been hyper fogged and won't record anything anymore. The correct color for the
rebate is a slight darkening and a slight move towards the brown but still a
definite orange tinge. If you hold an unhypered and hypered rebate next to
each other you will see this subtle difference. Why is this important? Because
no two hypering set-ups are the same... what counts is what the film looks
like out of YOUR set up...
Hope this helps... sorry for
the initial misinformation,
Tony
PS: Jerry tells me that Kodak is
"improving" the RG films...
better grab some old stuff now while it is still
available.
