should kodak replace 64t with 100d in super 8?

Well I used Plus-X when it was 50 ASA. It was good. Tri-X I hate both in still photography and super-8. I haven't tried Plus-X under its new formulation. Is it as good as the 50ASA? I really wish they'd just keep it 50ASA.

This is very obvious, is it not?

100d is the best colour reversal film material best suited to today's super 8 needs.

Virtually all super 8 hobby filmmaking today is outdoors, any reasonable camera will register 100d like they do Plus-X and, in the cameras worthy of serious filmmaking, the ASA settings are manual in any case. Also: vibrant colours, and a bit of grain is part of what makes for the beautiful "film look" which is why people still shoot small gauge film -- while still being modern-sharp for quality images.

What is? Quote who you're responding to, moron.

Idiot.

Okay, not an idiot.

Tri-X film is beautiful. You can never go wrong shooting B&W.

I know this is a bit off topic but, I like your wedding photos. What kind of camera are you using? Looks like your holding a Mamiya.

This week I spliced together another compilation reel of my favorite stuff from the past year. This one consisted of Velvia 50D and Ekta 100D. This is my third compilation reel from over the years. The first is all K40 (with a tad of Plus X and Tri X). The second is all 64T. Tonight I projected all 3.

The first was K40. It looked good... fine grain, vintage feel, brought back some memories... almost made me sad of days gone by. But technically it looked very dull and flat in comparison of all modern stocks in recent years.

Next was 64T, noticable extra grain but tolerable on projection. Looked more modern than K40, better colors and detail... cleaner whites and richer blacks. I've squeezed the best out of 64T with propper exposure, filtration, and good processing. Not a bad film, looks beautiful in bright sunlight. A definite step up from K40, except for grain.

And finally, the Velvia 50D/Ekta 100D reel... Mind blowing! Both stocks are nearly identicle. This stuff is a million years ahead of K40, so much richer, cleaner and modern performance... it literally embarasses K40. 64T has it's moments, but still looks bland and grainy next to the 100D/50D. It's like a whole new experience to project this stuff.

What moron decided that a 64 ASA stock would be a good replacement for K40, I say we get rid of that useless crap and replace it with 100D.
At least we'll be able to use ''auto-only'' cameras agan.
