Into Ossington Village and Dundas West.

I'm loving the second roll of OptiColour 200 almost more than the first roll. Ok, I shot the film at 125 ISO, I tend to overexpose my film a bit above 100 ISO. I use Silverfast 9 for my scanning interface and I use the of all things, the Kodak B&W+ setting, it gets the colours as close to neutral and then to my fine tuning in Lightroom. I can't wait to shoot more with Opticolour 200.  Camera: Nikon F100, Nikon AF-D 35-70 F2.8 lens.  Film: Optik OldSchool OptiColour 200.

Optik OldSchool is a German photolab that a few short years ago started selling their Opti Colour 200 colour film made for them by ORWO Wolfen. I guess they like it so much Optik OldSchool bought ORWO and it's partner company Filmotec, and that was a good thing.   Opticolour 200 looks familiar think a slightly slower version of Lomochrome 92 400 and ORWO NC 500-400 ISO in terms of grain structure and colour palette. I found OptiColour 200 favoured reds and greens. Along with Harmon Phoenix 100, Opticolour 200 is a "new" colour film and that's good thing.  What makes me happy is Optik OldSchool now owns ORWO Wolfen as I'm a big fan of the black and white motion picture film UN54, I can't wait to see what else is going to come about with this new partnership.  Camera: Nikon F100, Nikon AF-D 35-70 F2.8 lens.  Film: Optik Old Skool 200 C-41 film.  ...
