I’m never disappointed with Hanalogital OR the fact that AW develops souped film. The colours in this film are exceptional and have produced some of my favourite washes so far. Would highly recommend!
This film is quirky but amazing. I wanted to play with the effect of ‘disruption’ and what better film to do this with? Beautiful colours and effects.
Developed recently 6 different film rolls. Quality excellent as usual. But timing is horrible. It took 12 working days.
I am a big fan of the Lomography LomoChrome films, and this is no exception. There's not a HUGE difference I find between Color '92 and Sun-Kissed, but I know what I like and I like the feel of this film. The tones are very vintage, sometimes warm, sometimes not, depending on the lighting. Great for cities and architecture as it can bring out the gritty, stark qualities of the urban landscape.
Stunning colours and a really film looking film (if that makes sense)! Took this roll with me to china and the colours came out perfect, shot at 100 without any issues.
For many a year I have used ISO 400 speed films as my "normal" everyday film, typically for their versatility in letting me shoot from morning through to evening in daylight hours. Films like the late lamented Fuji Superia 400 and AgfaColor Vista Plus 400 both long gone. More latterly I have become a Kodak UltraMax user and a bit of a Kodak Portra 400 Pro user too. But...
I wanted something with even more flexibility to extend my range and let me take photographs in dimmer light conditions (typically in museums) as well as being an all day film too.
Enter Portra 800 Pro:
So Portra 800 Pro obviously is faster, but being a Pro film has a wide exposure latitude which I really like - I find I can under expose the film by up to 2 stops and even over expose it by one stop and still get excellent results., I also like the fact that it retains natural, neutral colours both in dimmer light and full daylight, In fact it responds beautifully when exposed in high key shots taken in the harsh light of the midday sun.
A word about grain. The film is fine grained and despite being of ISO 800 to me has less visible grain than 400 ISO UltraMax. However, if you underexpose it too far the grain becomes much more noticeable.
So I really love this film. It gives me all the characteristics I want and all the flexibility I hoped for to become my everyday film. There is only one down side. Being a Pro film it is not inexpensive, but as the old saying goes, ''You get what you pay for" and in this case you really do. But, it is not inexpensive...
Gorgeously sharp black and white film. Really versatile and adaptable, definitely a good stock to have in your bag when you don't know what you'll be doing or conditions you'll be facing!
The Ultramax is an excellent versatile 35mm film that works really well in pretty much any situation. The higher ISO makes it great for all kinds of lighting- from bright daylight to cloudy days and even lower light conditions, so it’s perfect if you want something flexible without having to think too much.
The colours are bold and punchy, with that classic Kodak warmth. Blues and greens really pop, and skin tones still look natural but with a bit more vibrancy compared to slower films I have tried. It gives your photos a lively, slightly nostalgic feel without being too heavy.
I found it’s also really forgiving, which makes it ideal for both point and shoot cameras and SLRs. Whether you’re just shooting everyday moments or framing more intentionally, Ultramax 400 delivers consistent, colourful results with a nice grain that adds character.
Overall, it’s a great go-to film if you want something reliable, versatile in different lighting, and full of bold, classic colour. It’s my new film of choice for any of my travels.
Kodak Gold is such a great all-rounder and works really well for pretty much any style of photography. The colours are the standout for me, especially in bright, sunny light. They’re warm, vibrant and rich without looking too overdone.
Images are clear and detailed with a lovely subtle grain that gives them that classic film feel. It also handles different lighting nicely, from bright daylight to softer golden-hour shots, giving everything a warm, slightly nostalgic look.
It’s perfect for everyday snapshots when you want something reliable but still full of character. If you’re after a versatile film with beautiful colours, natural tones and that timeless analogue feel, Kodak Gold is definitely worth trying. I love it.
I've used Analogue Wonderland for years. Their quality is always amazing!
Beautiful colours, lovely grain.
The main improvement of this roll compared to a cheaper film at 400 like ultramax is an impressive lack of grain in low light shots, especially without flash. however with the flash i was really disappointed by the skin tones and overall colour i was left with. theres a strange yellow hue that i wasn't fond of, although, to be fair, in one or two shots it actually added to the atmosphere of the photos. overall, this colour problem is a really big ick to me and i would rather pay a bit more for portra 400 or just stick to the classic gold 200 and use more flash.
Loving the whacky results you get from these cameras.
Love the whacky results you get from a Holga. No idea where the flare came from, but unique image.
Great b&w film with grain, I love it
When I got this film, I had no idea what to expect. Yellows and oranges, sure, but that's the beauty of film, you've no idea what you're going to get. Every photo is tinged in an apocalyptic glow. Great for seeing familiar places in new lights. The film is rated for 50 - 200 ISO; I shot these at 200 as it was quite cloudy.
As others have put it, this has got to be the gold standard for b&w photography. The latitude is honestly unbelievable, you could shoot this at 100 and develop normally and be able to recover your scan to look like you did nothing abnormal. Beautiful textures, contrast, and detail makes this one you have to keep on your person, even if it's just to make you feel good!
Kodak Ektar 100 is a great film for situations where low grain, sharpness and vivid saturation are important. This film favours accurate exposure, with far less latitude than consumer film stocks, and its relatively low ISO of 100 makes it less suited to low light situations. Surprisingly cool tones in cloudy lighting conditions, with overall colour and contrast more closely resembling slide film. In the right light, with accurate metering, Ektar 100 is a superb film.
Digital copies from in camera conversion. I think for digital scans the best would be to have the lab scan them for perfect results. Good colour, but in camera were slightly blue tinged.
I was really looking forward to this but unfortunately the can was damaged and the photos came out foggy in processing :(
I used this roll at Appleby Horse Fair in June. Really happy with the amount of colour that came through in the photos on an otherwise overcast day.
I used this film while hiking on The Isle of Skye earlier this year. I was blown away by how alien it made the landscape look. Would use again.
Lovely quality when used carefully. Be very careful not to overdevelop, as it blows the highlights. It is often a good idea to overexposed by one stop and then underdevelop by 30%.
The more I use it, the more I like it. It's tonality is very nice and is quite easy to work with. Perhaps it needs a smidgen less development when shot in contrasty situations but nonetheless a great all-rounder.
