A-CS> Did you found Fuji Reala somewhere? If yes, can you tell me where and at A-CS> what price?
I have found it on the web: FUJI Reala CS120 ISO 100 at 3.98 EUR http://www.f64studio.ro/det.php?c=14&pid=712 GRAYWOLF>Well, it is not obvious. What is happening is that the current speed indexes of GRAYWOLF>negative film basically give you minimum exposure. Sometimes that causes a loss GRAYWOLF>of shadow detail. So many expert photographers overexpose a bit to prevent that. GRAYWOLF> That is so prevailent that many "pro" labs are set up for film with a 1/3 stop GRAYWOLF>overexposure as their normal print channel PS>I overexpose all color negative film by a bit or even a lot. Kodak PS>Portra 160NC and 160VC I rate at 100. All of the Fuji ISO 160 neg films PS>are shot at 100. Kodak Portra 400 VC and NC are shot at 300. Not as big PS>a bump on the last two but they seem to have more inherent pop. This sounds interesting for capturing shadow detail. But how much shuld I overexpose for that? As I understand 1/3 stop is just safe for any film, but the effect varies. Does somebody know how this works for ordinary Fuji Superia 100 (not Reala)? And more exactly how much is "a lot" for you? How far can I go on the safe side? SP>In case of negatives by underrating ISO you avoid problems with SP>underexposure. Most negatives give enlarged grain effect when even slightly SP>underexposed. This is scary... I should better follow Peter's advice and overexpose all my negatives! Attila
