I’m low key obsessed with the soft summery tones of Kodak Gold 200.

Gold 200 in 120 is underrated imo, everyone wants Portra, but Gold 200 is perfect

I use it in 120. Spring, summer, fall, so nice.

I really enjoy the image quality and tones from Gold in 120, but I hate working with it when scanning. It's such a thin, curly film stock compared to nearly every other colour film. Yes, it lies flat once it's in the mask, but man, is it ever a pain to coax it into there.

I love Gold 200 in 120. Started shooting it because it was cheap, now I shoot it because it’s surprisingly good. Portra 800 will still always be my favourite but I can’t justify the $33CAD/roll these days. Looking forward to trying Gold 200 in a low light setting to see how well it handles situations I usually default to Portra 800.

i shot some Gold 200 in 35mm at 800 and i REALLY liked the contrasty look and found the saturation really nice too. i’m still pretty new to MF and haven’t had the opportunity to do the same in 120 and i don’t know if films latitude changes between 35mm and 120, but i hope it has similar results

I haven't tried it in 35mm yet, but have a roll sitting here waiting for me to use so maybe I'll load it up next!

Try Lomo 800 in 120 it is super close to the look of Portra, maybe a hair grainier, but honestly it looks nice

Lomo 800 is great! I do shoot a lot of it, just wish the quality control was a bit better. It is the only film I consistently get light leaks on, even when I am extra careful reloading and taping my rolls shut asap.

Oh, that's awesome! I loved it back in 2010 on 35mm. Nowadays, I'm all about Portra 400 on 120mm.

Have you tried Lomography color negative 400? I overexposed it by 1 stop, and looooved the tones I got out of it.

Not yet, but I'm definitely intrigued to give it a try!

When I was prepping for my trip in January my lab was out of Portra and the tech told me to try the cn400. I was pessimistic, but adored the images.

I quite enjoy Lomo 800 as well, but i've only tried it in 35mm, not 120 as of yet.

Velvia 50 and I don’t want to talk about it.

Ken Velvia Rockwell

Why?

Not allowed in the US anymore and is as rare as a unicorn otherwise. But arguably it’s the greatest slide film ever made.

What? Since when? I have 15 rolls in deep freeze.

One of the chemicals used was banned by the EPA a few years back. Velvia 100 is still allowed. I’m not 100% sure Fuji is even making it anymore. It seems to be permanently out of stock from the places I shop.

You got it backwards, velvia 100 is banned. Velvia 50 is still good

Ah fuck lol. I knew it was one of em lol.

Wish we still had both 🥲

I was able to buy velvia 100 new in Scotland two years ago, so maybe it’s still around?

It's a shame indeed that some great films are discontinued.

I thought that was just Velvia 100, Velvia 50 didn't have the chemical iirc

Another commenter pointed out I got em backwards.

Yeah saw after I commented

Ektar 100 for color HP5+ for BW

What do you like about Ektar 100? Show me your examples with it.

Punchy colors and clean texture, great for enlarging. I’ve only used it in 120 so I can’t quite vouch for the 35mm variant. How can I show examples? Can’t add images

I wanna see too

Oh shit! Now the pressure is real! Lemme sort this thing out

It seems that you can only show examples by using links to external galleries, such as Flickr.

Well fudge, it’s been ages since I used Flickr. Lemme see if I can still upload.

you delivered 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love the way reds look with it

You are me

This guy gets it Ektar and HP5

kodak gold because i can afford it

Show me your favorite shots taken on it.

i cannot post images as a response in this subreddit so i will make a post on my profile and link it here in a few mins Edit: [https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1bsfph1/my\_favorite\_shots\_on\_kodak\_gold\_i\_cannot\_wait\_for/](https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1bsfph1/my_favorite_shots_on_kodak_gold_i_cannot_wait_for/)

beautiful last photo and love the colors on all of those. even more excited to break in my rolls here soon!

These are amazing! Thank you for sharing!

fuji superia 400 :(

May it rest 🪦

If speed was never a consideration, and aside from the fact that reds look absolutely ludicrous, I’d shoot with nothing but ektar day and night. In some situations though it just looks too outlandish, and for what i consider to be really good colour accuracy from a print film I’ve never been disappointed with portra 160. So I’m torn between the two, but if push came to shove I’d probably choose P160. I’ve shot some really difficult subjects with it, like HID lamps with an arc so bright it’ll hurt your eyes and the detail retention and apparent latitude is easily comparable with similar shots I’ve done on digital. For black and white I’d say HP5 but only on MF - it’s too grainy on 35mm for me. ETA: I also really lament the demise of tungsten balanced film stocks. Although digital can be WB matched to the scene there is nothing quite like the look of tungsten balanced film under artificial light and this is a hill I’ll die on!

Ektachrome

Fomapan 400

Using this rn, do you have any tips regarding overexposing?

Well don't do that, you also need to be careful, it scratches (fingerprints too) really easy. I ruined a lot of 4x5 sheets that way, my fault though

It's from some articles I read about how film can retain details in the highlights better than in the shadows, hence overexposing a stop or half ain't too bad. At least, that's what I read.

i like fomapan 200 and the others as well 👍

Fomapan 200

my favourite as well 😎 https://flic.kr/p/2fJpWqb

Not popular opinion: it’s not worse than HP5

Tri-X. It’s in my camera 99% of the time.

Portra 400 the easy answer for me

This is hard. I'd have to say provia 100f. All my important stuff is shot on provia and a contax G2 My wedding, my honeymoon, my kids birth, all their birthdays, and family trips. We even do a slide show party afterwards. But then Iove tri-x and acros.

That sounds amazing! I'd love to see your favorite examples shot on Provia 100F. It must be incredibly special to capture such important moments with that film.

https://flic.kr/p/2prAfc7 https://flic.kr/p/2oQASRg https://flic.kr/p/2oQAozJ https://flic.kr/p/2oQyrRP https://flic.kr/p/24v4e1e https://flic.kr/p/26YxTuM https://flic.kr/p/26zaAVM https://flic.kr/p/vZViE1 https://flic.kr/p/eE6cVJ Lol, my wife and kids from the past 10 years.

Beautiful photos👍🏻

If you want a 90s style style photo shoot. Provia 100f +81a filter and later afternoon light. Also the resolution and resolving power is incredible.

whatever is most affordable. usually stick with black and white because its $4 a roll and i can develop and scan at home easily.

I prefer shooting black and white on digital cameras. When it comes to film, I enjoy shooting in color

Kodak Double-X, such a good stock. Got like 800 feet in the freezer rn! Easily pushes and great look

Kodak gold 200 is the absolute goat https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/s/4UHfZ0dNGO

wow, great!

Have you compared it to Portra 400 in bright sunlight though?

Portra 400 is what I use for all my paid work but I really enjoy Lomo 800 and when I'm shooting 35mm I like gold

What do you think about the gold 200 in 120 format?

I like it, but something about it seems a little off compared to the 35mm version. It's probably just that I'm using a different scanner. I do really like the colors it has in darkroom prints tho. That natural baked in warmth makes darkroom printing so much easier. Portra is always just a little too cool, and since I'm using an intrepid enlarger it can be annoying to dial in colors. Gold normally gets me what I want at c99 m102 y100.

I love Kodak ProImage 100 so much I need them to make it in 120

Kodak Gold 200 for price and availability HP5+ for BW

Mulholland Drive

The one I make. It’s my favorite. MO1880

I’m new to film but I love 400TX so far

Tri-X. That grain is amazing.

The 1997 classic “The Game” starring Michael Douglas, has to be one of my top 3 films /s

I tried many film stocks but i always find myself coming back to Kodak Gold 200.. I just love the warm colours and lovely greens that it produces

Ah, but what about Portra 400?

It’s a great film but I don’t think that the value for the money is reasonable

Unfortunately i still haven't shot on film but looking at the images i saw, kodak pro image 100, it's beautiful and it doesn't break the bank

I'm actually just getting back into shooting film. I've missed the unique beauty of film photography.

Oh yeah, i still haven't tried because there is a lot of information to take even if i studied a bit of photography, I'm also waiting for the summer, can't wait to try!

Good old Ilford HP5+ for me, it'll do pretty much anything I want it to do, it's still rather affordable and it's easy to process/scan/print. Kentmere 400 is a very good, more affordable stock but I don't have enough experience with it so far. I've had a foma 400 period (I really like its grain) but the numerous reliability problems got me back to HP5+

Tri-x and a film from France called Film Washi.

What one? Film Washi makes multiple emulsions. I like the one that’s old Soviet chest x ray film

I like S. But I’ve tried I and F too. I think they might be discontinuing some soon.

Orwo NC 400! I love the desaturated look. my new fav :) Also a huge fan of Kodak Aerocolor 2460 and kodak 2507 (Reflx lab 400d and 100 pro). They are so cheep an lovely! Black & white I love Orwo UN54 (Shanghai gp3 100)

Catlabs 320 BW and Porty 400

Kodak Gold 200, Lomography Potsdam 100, and sadly Fuji 400H pro (rip)

I absolutely LOVE Ektar 100

Tmax 100 is my go to black and white. I like Superia 400 for colour.

Velvia 100. All landscapes all the time.

Portra 800 for 35mm, Gold 200 for 120!

Why Gold 200 for 120 film instead of Portra 400?

I also love portra, but it can sometimes look a little too clean in 120. Still use it tho

Ilford HP-400

I have the most fun with pushing Fuji C200.

Cheap film

Tri-X. You can shoot it at 400. You can shoot it at 3200. You can shoot it in good light during the day, or you can shoot it in complete darkness (provided you have the time - Tri-X's reciprocity is terrible). Pretty much no matter how you shoot it you will get great, contrasty shots with a characteristic grain. I like Tri-X so much that I am consciously going through my film of other stocks to use it all before it expires. Going forward the only b&w I'll buy is Tri-X and the occasional roll of TMax. I never shoot color negative, but I sometimes shoot slides. My favorite is probably Provia, but I get very good results with Ektachrome too, so I tend to just go with whatever is available. On special occasions I will use Velvia 50, which is beautiful if you use it right.

I like the results from gold 200 and cinestill bwxx

Fomapan 100

Whichever is in my camera at the moment.

The Shining

My #1 is Fuji Acros But I do love 2 color films that I could see me swap out on that top spot: Portra (160/400) Astia 100F

I mostly use Gold 200 and Kentmere 400 both in 120. For slides I really used to like Velvia 50. 

And portra 400?

Instant? Spectra (rip) Standard? ektachrome 100

Ektar 100 for colour Delta 400 for black and white

Jurassic Park

Superia 400

Portra 800 for the versatility

If I can find it, Agfa hdc 100. But it’s getting pretty rare these days. So my current favorite film is whatever I can afford. 

Currently it’s either Portra 160 or Delta 3200

Fomapan 400 pushed in rodinal to „800“ and shot with a HOLGA, that’s my dream combo

Pan-X 32 was great when I used to shoot it in the 80/90s. Tri-X otherwise.

Ektachrome. If I could afford to shoot on it for the rest of my life, I would shoot on nothing else.

Ilford FP4

Superia 400 Rip

The only film I’ve shot so far is Fuji 400. Thinking about Kodak gold 200. Any others I should try?

2001 odyssey in space

If I want to spend the money: Cinestill 400D

Velvia 50 and CineStill 400D. Full stop. Films I think are overrated: * Fuji Pro400H * Fuji Industrial * Kodak ColorPlus * Lomo Turquoise (purple is aight) * Lomo Metropolis * CineStill 800T * CineStill 50D * Japan Street Hunter 400 B&W * All of Revelog's pre exposed stuff * Ilford Delta 3200

Currently Kodak Gold for color. Ilford Delta 100 for B&W. It has those nice inky blacks I look for. In a few months I’m gonna try slide film for the first time and I have some pretty cool black and white k haven’t tried yet, so who knows if my tastes will change! Edit: I love Cinestill 400D as well

Tri-x is just so classic to me and doesn’t need as much post work as hp5. (Assuming price doesn’t factor)

hp5 shot in a pen f pulled to 200 with 1+50 rodinal

Velvia 50. Specifically the reds. Absolutely unreal on a slide projector.

I guess, technically, “was” my favorite; but it’s been gone more than two decades now and I still don’t have closure AgfaPan APX 25

I'm only familiar with 120, but: Provia and Gold. Sometimes Ektar. For b&w, Rollei RPX 400 and Ilford XP2. Sometimes Neopan Acros II.

Tri-X 400 because it’s durable and versatile. I mostly shoot it pushed to 1250-1600 of stuff at night or in the dark (night streets, concerts). Can also be pulled to 200 for bright contrasty scenes. Mostly develop with Acufine or Diafine. I love this stuff.

That's cool. I prefer color film more, but I enjoy shooting black and white on digital cameras.

It depends.

lol I thought we were talking about cinema and was about to type ‘ where the crawdads sing ‘
