64t pushed to 160 - pictures

[richard p. t.]

Here are a few stills from a roll of E64t I push processed to 160 asa (1 and 1/3rd stops). I have done this several times - mostly for other people and mostly night shots. It is grainy I must say, but not without its uses I suspect. i hope that the Fuji 64t will push to 160 more favourably.
Anyway, here are some shots from my house and garden. This roll was a re-load of 64t in a used Kodak cartridge that I notched to 160T.

I love it!

The grain really makes the images look alive. Good color, too.

Great job.

Looks a lot like 7240.

This is very beautiful. Very vibrant and colorful.
EDIT: I assume the cart you used has a filter notch? Then you switched filter to B and used external 85B filter?
I am going to renotch the E64T cart to 160T and use it for time lapse on the Eumig 881PMA at night. There seems to be some good prospects with these beautiful colors.

Like Super8man, I am curious as to how this looks projected.

[Mitch Perkins]

Beautiful! Works really well with the muted colours. Grain is a plus, as noted by others.

These images look even better in motion on a real TV, I'll bet...

Compliments on your lovely garden.

Richard,

What are your thoughts on those scenes when projected?

Cheers,
Mike

I love the look of 64T, pushed to 160 I think it is better than the old Ektachrome 160. Would be nice to see it shot under tungsten light so as to judge its use indoors where pushing the speed would be most beneficial. It has great colors and is sharp enough to produce some very pleasing images. Sometimes we (that goes for me too) get carried away with seeking the ulimate in sharpness. Funny when you read in American Cinematographer the lengths pros have gone to reduce sharpness (nets, filters, even vasoline) to tone down the image for artistic reasons or to make an aging actor look better...

In addition to what you write: Richard's images suggest a great prospect for day for night work. I can just see it: evening dark, vibrant, grainy and quite charming.
I wonder what camera did Richard use.

thanks for the feedback people.

I must say I was pleased with the colour. Projected any size and the grain is quite large. Quite o.k. with the close up shots. There is a real absense of fine detail in the wide shots of the garden.

I used a Canon 1014xls i think on this roll. Internal 85a filter.

I will do another test next time I do a push batch for someone - this time under tungsten.

As I say, most of the push to 160 I process is for people who really haven't got enough light even for that and are really streatching. it doesn't look good at all in that situation. Actually the first few shots of my Melbourne film on the Super 8 Cities DVD were 64t pushed.

Not sure how readily people can have push processing done at labs in the US etc., but I do it for our normal processing fee of A$20 which includes return postage anywhere in the world.

Those look great for a push like that! I want to try that under tungston now. Thanks for sharing!

[Plastik]

Good stuff Richard. They look great - better than the old ektachrome.

[Angus]

It probably looks better than the old Ektachrome 160, which had the same grain but often a "muddy" look about it.

Good to know it can be done!

[James E]

Ya know, that looks pretty dang good! At least as good, and possibly better than the old G160. I'd be curious to see what results you may get outdoors w/ E100D pushed the same amount of stops. (making it 250?)
They did it to 200 in a previous issue of S8 Today. But all indoors and a bit yellowed due to the background. Still looked good though. Because of it's finer grain I'm wonder what kind of results a 2 stop push would get.....
Soon as I get some I think I'll do some notching spearmints w/ my Kaccemas.... 150, 200, 250,300...... Any suggestions Richard?

[S8 Booster]

the results look great to me.
actually the colours seem to come out better than with the E125 and grain seems ok for the speed.


more or less curiosity for S8 but here are some 35mm tests to push the provia 3 1/2 stops and with good results up to 3 stops.
