Warm compliment.

This post is a compliment. A warm compliment to the wonderful Mr. Ralph. My compliment is hot because I would like it to warm up and push Mr. Ralph and all the inhabitants of this wonderful resource to think about how to change their lives, so that there would be as much time for pleasure as possible. The image shows two options for scanning a frame made on Fuji Superia 100 film. One was made in a good darkroom. The other - at home "on the knee". Perhaps if I had more time, the difference would be even greater. #Fuji #Superia #film #Summer #mountains #Scotland #Skye #island #darkroom

    Dear KLAWE.
    Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
    Your opinion and your comment are very important. In order to be able to compare and evaluate, I propose to go to the Fuji Superia 100 film Lomography page. I think it makes sense to look at the date of publication of the photo. The earlier the photo was published, the fresher the film was. There are many factors that influenced the result, but the main one is the quality of the scan and, of course, additional processing.

    For pleasure, not much is needed... Perhaps a once wagon of free time is enough, of course, if everything else is available.

    Based on my experience from Fuji Superia, it was Fuji Superia 100 that was best preserved. From that what I came across with the name Fuji Superia 200 and 400 - the variation in quality strongly depended on age and on the factory.

    Dear KLAWE, thank you for the dialogue. Thank you for remembering Fujicolor Reala 100. I have a wide experience in using films of 120 format and 35 mm of different years of release. Definitely, the palette of colors, contrast and grain of the Fuji Superia 100 35 mm is very different from Reala. That Fujicolor Reala 100 35 mm of 2008, which I have, has ISO 50. According to my subjective assessment, it has survived much worse than my superia 100. I have not seen Fuji Superia 100 120 format, but I think the emulsion should be the same as on 35 mm. As for the Fujicolor Reala 100 120 format, I shot several packs of film with an age of more than 20 years. Like you - the residual ISO 50. And a very narrow photo latitude. When you scan have yourself, if very carefully and for certain subjects, it can be good. But ... Fujicolor Reala 100 120 of the 2008-14 (?) format is a completely different matter. Quite a different quality. Significantly better in every way (colors, iso, contrast, grain). But in my opinion (!) It does not look like Fuji Superia 100. This is a completely different film.
