Title: Color Print Film for Landscape
Post by: Moynihan on February 19, 2008, 10:28:42 am

Hello,

I am trying to find a color print (c41) film, for 120 format, that is "good" for landscape. It appears that reala 100 was popular for tht, but it is no longer available in 120 format. Any suggestions on one to try?

thanks,
jay

Well if reala isn't available and konica impressa 50 is long gone then I can't think of any.

Fuji PRO160s is very nice, lower contrast but still my overall favourite. 160c has a bit more contrast, but I don't really bother with it as I scan everything anyway. Never used Reala so couldn't compare them, but the grain and sharpness of 160s seems fine to me.

Kodak Portra is my current favourite C41 film. All of the examples of 160S and C that I tried came out with very flat tonality, but the Portra 160NC and VC (especially the VC) have beautiful punchy colours, are sharp and have great contrast.
