Camera abandoned by my Father 30-40 years ago - may be more - so I put in batteries - everything seemed to work OK so put in film - all the pix came out OK and the lens is pretty sharp except when a finger got in the way! Rewind not working and then I remembered my old 'Genuine Phago Chaging Bag' bought 50 years ago and rewound the film by hand. Who else remembers or has a Phago bag?
Really happy with the detail in the grain (small grain, not too much, perfect amount for that ‘film look’) and the contrast which gives photos a lot of depth. Shot in overcast but bright conditions and coped excellently.
couldn’t ask for a better large format film stock
litterally my favourite film stock
amazing film, great for lower light settings but just as good in light
Contrast in this film is insane. So deep and such exceptional detail. Perfect monochrome film. Love these FPP monster films. Exceptional quality, even though it's a bit on more pricy side.
Vibey and witchy. Purple and pink leaning. I very much liked it. Good job Hanalogital! Will try out others.
This Hanalogital Autumn '24 and I really liked the results of it. Thank goodness for AW. One of the few film development companies that do such extra service, like souped film.
I’ve used colour plus a few times now, in bright and sunny conditions it produces some lovely images.
It gives different tones to the Kodak Gold but I’d struggle to pick a favourite between them!
Both great films in their own right.
It’s a film ill definitely use again 🙂
I received this in an AW mystery box. I thought the heavy grunge vibe to it would work well for a rainy London day. But I also felt the contrast was a little much for me personally so pulled it one stop and shot it at 200 ISO, and I'm thrilled with the results.
Having just purchased a Mamiya 645 I was keen to shoot some black and white film but needed to make sure I recieved the results within the return window. Enter XP2! Ordered a couple of rolls from AW and had the results back in a few days.
ultramax is. great all rounder. it’s not the flashiest or best but it does the job every time.
Colour plus is a good film for taking on holiday. Nice and easy, great colours, great light
my favourite film, great for holidays (even when you forget to take them out when they go through the scanner)
Love this little thing, best thing to get a bang for the buck on a roll of film. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not going to be as detailed as a 35mm shot, so you’re definitely sacrificing some of the detail, but you’re making up for that in double the number of shots and the compact size of it. And as long as you have a good eye for it, you can capture absolutely stunning images on it.
Provides nice dark saturated colours, not the pale pastel "film" look.
I bought an expeditionary roll of Kentmere 400 to test whether it was a viable alternative to the more costly and contrasty Kodak tri x, my go-to. I'm very pleased with the results which have a lovely range of tones without compromising too much on contrast in the more striking shots. I look forward to stocking up when the film becomes available again!
I shot the RNLI memorial sculpture on some slower stuff while I was in Dorset.
Can't fault results as usual.
Very reliable for a slightly nostalgic look but great colours. Gold is a ‘go to’ colour film that does take me back to shooting family holidays in the 70s! Highly recommended for sunny days and a fun image but it’s actually much more than that - I feel you can use it for lots of purposes so it’s really very flexible.
A good speed film and rich colours. It will cope well with a variety of photo opportunities.
A fun film with a really interesting tone. I would make sure you use it with solid backdrops such as a nice sky, water, grass etc to really make things pop.
Really like this film, great high contrast with a really nice halo effect in strong light, I wasn't expecting much from this film but the results were great. Really lovely for landscape photography.
The film produces rich warm tones with strong reds and browns when used in Autumn sunlight. Nice fine grain for a 400 film.
Being a tungsten balanced film, expect a slight blue cast to your pictures, or make sure to shoot with an 85B warming filter (though the blue cast is easy to edit out). This film boasts finer grain than the 400 and and 800 speed Candido films, yet still has the vibrant colours and excellent dynamic range from cinema film; though expect halation around bright lights because of the lack of remjet. Really enjoyed the results from this film.
Was happy with the landscape and street photography results I got from this. Some shots came out quite grainy, but I honestly don't mind that aesthetic. With some more getting used to how this film behaves, I think I might grow to love it.
