Chinese BW Film
January 25, 2025The price of all film stocks have skyrocketed in the last 18 months. A roll of Ektachrome is now about $20 and by the time you have it developed you are looking at slightly over $1 per image. Lucky Film out of China ( sold by Reflx Labs) is selling SHD 400 for $6 a roll which is about the cheapest you will find unless you bulk roll. The shots were done today and seem wee too contrasting. Come to find out that on the Reflx website they recommend that it be shot at ISO 200 which would control some of the contrast. The comments from other folks is that the shadows are blown out to black and this might not be corrected by shooting it at 200.
