My film choice for my sisters Wedding - comments please
This my list for film for my sisters wedding.
Colour.... Fuji NPS 160 Fuji Reala ???-Not sure when would be the best time to use this-same time when you would use Fuji NPC??? Fuji NPH 400 B&W... Kodak T400CN (or maybes Fuji's Neopan 400CN - don't know how this compares to Kodaks) Ilford Delta 3200 - for some indoor shots Is it worth using any Ilford PanF Plus 50? Or and Traditional B&W film? Any comments, addition, changes etc on the above please Chris.... |

It would be seriously ill advised to dis the Fuji products, they and
Kodak have been in a film arms race for the last several decades, with no clear winner, but that has lead to great improvements for the consumer. However, it's probably not a great idea to mix the two film families in one shoot. I've been a slave to the Great Yellow Father my whole life in photography. Tried the rest and found Kodak clearly superior for all types of photography. |

It never fails to amaze me, someone is planning to shoot their first wedding, and the first, and I suppose only question is what kind of film to shoot. OK, let me ask you, what kind of paper does the lab run? fuji or kodak? This my list for film for my sisters wedding. Colour.... Fuji NPS 160 Fuji Reala ???-Not sure when would be the best time to use this-same time when you would use Fuji NPC??? Fuji NPH 400 B&W... Kodak T400CN (or maybes Fuji's Neopan 400CN - don't know how this compares to Kodaks) Ilford Delta 3200 - for some indoor shots Is it worth using any Ilford PanF Plus 50? Or and Traditional B&W film?

I use Fuji NPS 160 & 400 all the time. It's a truly wonderful film great
skin tones. I shoot for a living. This is just my 2 cents. I do all my own processing color, B&W E6 Prints & Film. I used to be a slave to the great yellow father but they kept changing films. Progress I guess. But in the darkroom you get everything tuned to a certain film then have to start testing all over again. I don't like Fuji papers though still use Kodak. I use ilford fims too my favorites. 3200 is pretty grainy though for a wedding. Pan F is really slow but incredible. Delta 100 and 400 aer exceptional too. I to would worry about doing a wedding if you have no experience. Remember if you mess up, you totaly ruin their day and it cannot be re-shot. I hope you have exposure and lighting knowledge. Use professional film ONLY. Be Careful and good luck. "Randall Ainsworth" wrote in message ...

I know a lot of the guys on the lecture circuit have been co-opted by the green box, but not me. Now I've gone digital so it really doesn't matter. |

Now I've gone digital so it really doesn't matter. Heh - well if it makes you feel any better, Fuji's digital lab offerings are awful so if you agree, your opinions are at least consistant. But I come from a background of adoring fuji film - preferring NPS to Portra, prefering Neopan to T-Max, etc. I also love bags of colour, so I think Velvia is one of the finest emulsions crafted (although to remain ontopic to this group, it's not so smashing for flattering portraits.) -- Regards, Andy Davidson http://www.fotoserve.com/ - Better quality printing for your digital photos. |
