Grainy skye?
"MXP" wrote in message
k... skrev i en meddelelse ... "MXP" wrote in message ... Why does the skye always look grainy on film? Even on high resolution BW film....... Not Tech-Pan. I have never tried Tech-Pan. Is it easy to work with? There are two problems with TechPan: 1) it's manufacturer discontinued and 2) it's real slow. I've found in the past that I had to shoot at EI 12 in order to get decent results. As far as where to get - the last I'd read Porters still had some. B&H sold out some time ago. |

OK.....how fine grained is EFKE 25? .....it seems many like this film. But the RMS is probably not better than Velvia? Max |

It seems a standard developer can do it, but Rodinal is not known to be a fine grain developer? |

It was fine for Agfa APX 100 in 120, and is very good for Efke 25. It doesn't hurt the latter's ability to be enlarged considerably. Grain is my friend because it can give sharper looking images than grainless... (but to stay on topic, Who need sharp clouds? ) Yes, use a different developer if you prefer finer grain. |

Does EFKE suggest a developer? When we have EFKE 25 we don't miss APX 25? I think I should learn to view the grains as a kind of art. The software filters which can remove grains also remove a lot of real information. So until now the images looks best without much "Photoshop tricks". It is interresting how fine grained a BW film can be in the dark and middel tone areas where the plane of focus is. Max |

"MXP" wrote in message ... Does EFKE suggest a developer? They (J&C Photo) recommends Neofin Blue (or Neofin Blau) developer but it is way, way overpriced and not really of any particular advantage over alternatives such as D76 1:1 or Rodinal 1:50 or 1:100. When we have EFKE 25 we don't miss APX 25? Efke is really different in terms of color response. |
