Time to stockup on Velvia 4x5
i told myself that to justify a m-monochrom
i would have to finish all my existing stash of film
i have been shooting a roll a day
then i bought a v700 scanner and found the image
quality so much different from my v600.
i recently bought more tri-x and am going to
pull the trigger for more cros 100 in 120 format.
at one roll a day, i think i will buy the m-monochrom
sometime in 2014 and i am only half-joking.
for example, i actually have this stored somewhere:
KODAK: EASTMAN DOUBLE-X Black & White Negative Film 5222/7222
came in 400 ft reel of film....
and this too:
ORWO N74 plus (Negative Film) 400ft
am now working through a 100ft of xp2 as a daily shooter (non-studio stuff).
my pictures will improve, not so much because of my skills but because
the law of large numbers say that statistically, i should get 1 or 2 great
pictures even of 99% of them are junk as i shoot so much film
here's a picture taken this past week, a picture of bilal, my pk colleague.
Olympus 35 DC on the XP-2, scanned in V700 and Post Processed to enhance grains.

Maybe we should have more MO for film so you won't have to buy the M-Monochrom at all.
BTW I'll be getting some Agfa APX100, they are really awesome. Let me know if anybody want to order together, there won't be too many of this great film left soon

I have done hundreds of rolls of Velvia 135, many 120 still kept ok in archive.
Since 2010 I started converting to digital format. Its down grading for the sake of convenience.
Who went thru the D1 D100 D70s D90 D7000 path? All the old cams pre D90 are basically useless now.
And many who crashed their HD , lost their files etc, lets see if you can have an image in 10 years time.
Hard to believe Fuji terminate it. Its their bread and butter, or no more.

Of course!
Read -->
Fuji Velvia F 35mm, 120, 4X5 --> no more
Fuji Velvia 50 4X5 , 8X10 --> no more
Fujifilm tells BJP that its Velvia 50 will continue to be distributed in 35mm and 120 formats.
Basically, it put an END to those Large Format guys who wants to shoot 4X5 slides.
For 135, 120, should be OK to use Velvia 50.
Fujifilm is smart. By consolidating everything down to Valvia 50, they can maintain their Profit Margins.

Maybe not the best example for this film cos it was shot by me.
Taken using Canonet QL17 pushed 1 stop
