Back to Port Perry With Flic Film Chrome 100

Image
  Slide film, isn't forgiving compared to say Kodak Pro Image 100 or Ultramx 400. I do love shooting Flic Film Chrome 400, which is motion picture Eastman Kodak Etkachrome 100, which is also the same as Kodak Alaris E100 but with sligthly different shaped sprocket holes. The big plus of Flic Film Chrome 100 is cost, and it's the same stock. Plus having Graination Lab investing in a new E6 line makes shooting slide much easier.  What's not easy is scanning slide film, sadly Silverfast 9SE isn't set up for slide film, I have to upgrade to the Studio version and that's not cheap software but I plan to do that at some point. Thankfully I still have Vuescan and it does a decent job with slide film.

Kentmere 200 processes easily in Ilfotec HC, I should try in Rollei Supergrain at some point.  The F4 used was the third one and the most recent acquisition with no LCD bleed in the upper and lower read outs and a P screen, the perfect se up for manual focus lenses. I tend to grab the F4 over the F3's I have, must be the matrix metering and the fact you can buy AA batteries anywhere.  Camera: Nikon F4, 40 F2 Voigtlander Ultron SL II Lens.  Film: Kentmere 400, Ilfotec 1+31.  ...
