Thank you for your kind words. I hope the picture of my little red head is satisfactory. She gave a nice little smile. I tend to have a fairly steady hand. When I shoot, I try to concentrate on cradling the body properly and exhaling when I release the shutter. Also, I think my hand is a

BTW Glen - I usually take my pictures with available light and use 400 speed fuji or kodak gold, and I really feel like the Fuji outperforms the Kodak in low light situations. Its contrast and grain hold up even when I'm taking dim indoor pictures at 1/30 or even 1/4s. I like Kodak much better i

I used to keep Fuji Superia in 100, 400, and 1600 speed in my camera bag. I have always preferred to use the slowest film I could get away with. For slides my favorite was Agfa Provdia (sp?) 100. Since I quite often had partial rolls developed I only bought 24x roll. Fugi Press was supposedly S

Note that Fuji sells Superia 800 as a pro film as well, called Press 800. It's the same stuff (in fact the only difference is the 'Pro' version is 36exp and the consumer 24) I'm very fond of that film, it's probably 50% or more of the colour 35mm I shoot. 400 is nice, but lacks the personality

I agree, Adam. That Fuji Superia 800 is one fine 800 speed film. I just bought a five-pack of the Superia 400, and I expect it be nice, too. Glen On Sep 28, 2007, at 9:55 PM, Adam Maas wrote: > In non-pro form, Fuji is where it's at. The only Kodak print films's > I'll shoot are the Portra

I shot Kodak Gold for a number of years. When the Rapid Photo lab was still running here in town, the owner talked me into Reala. I was hooked, and shot that till i bought the D2H in Feb 2004 and that was it for colour film other than some 6x7 trannies. The Reala seemed to have more "punch" than t

Lost it the 1st time I think... Fuji used to (still may), generally, have a slight edge in resolution and grain. I prefer a 100 speed film and tripod, over a higher ISO film, unless circumstances dictate not using a tripod. Fuji Reala, costs more and available only at Photo stores, always seem

What is film?? Seriously, I stick with Fuji Superia 400. Good saturated colours and it holds up well under artificial light. The grain really shows up when you scan it, though. At 6:24 PM -0400 9/28/07, Rebekah wrote: >It depends on what I'm taking pictures of. If I'm going to go take >picture

It depends on what I'm taking pictures of. If I'm going to go take pictures outside, I like fuji, it's greens are fantastic. But, kodak has great reds. I try to stay away from 800 speed because I don't like the grain, and I prefer 200 or 400 in either brand. rg2 On 9/28/07, Glen Tortorella <[E
