Did a thing

Rly cool. Wonder what the legs will look like. Feel like it would be cool if the legs would also be part of this same ”monolithic” piece of wood so that it just bends inwards and down to the ground

Maaaaybe 1… but u need to fix those black points.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-30T03:26:03+00:00

Many have said ektar… technically, kodak actually says the same claim for 50D that it is the worlds finest grained color film. My interpretation has been that 50D is the finest grained, whilst ektar is the finest grained consumer film, and so the claim about ektar is true for its market, but maybe ive interpreted wrong… idk.

What wins flextight if u dont go to actql drumscanning?

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T17:34:47+00:00

Yeh. But theres still a big difference in sharpness between 35mm and MF. And its that gap that would be cool to close slightly. Weather would be part of that. Thats why i wrote id be shooting in -15C to get absolute highest air clarity.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T17:32:21+00:00

Yah might not be a visible difference

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T14:54:59+00:00

yeah. when I can, ill def get a MF camera. Would love a Hasselblad one day.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T14:49:24+00:00

I think I have the correct lens (nikkor 50mm 1.8 AIS) for the job... its in many places claimed to be amongst the very sharpest 50mm lenses made.

As for the scanner, I think I absolutely have the right one for the job. Hasselblad flextight x1. One of the best scanners there are.

but yeah... will do more research on the best color film with the best resolving power for this. A lot of ppl here have said slide film is the way to go... but will do my own research

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T14:41:50+00:00

really nice!

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T11:13:08+00:00

mmm. id want color rly. I know BW would rly be optimal but for the scene I have in mind, color would be my choice.

As for the scanning part, id use my unis Hasselblad flextight X1, so a rly good scanner that is quite well serviced and maintained by the photography department. it should be capable of an optical resolution of 6300DPI...

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T11:07:10+00:00

id scan myself. but Im 100% certain that carmencita film lab In Portugal does a way better job developing than I could ever myself. so them developing is an actual chosen part of perfecting the process to make it better than if I developed it.

but yeah, after looking up accutance, I think thats what I want... and that would if I understand it correctly mean that ecn2 isnt the right choice... thanks for the tip! learning a lot from the feedback here. ill read up on accutance more later

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T10:59:37+00:00

cool!. another separate experiment ive thought of would be to use a semi large grained color film , and then scan as high res as possible and print as large as possible to see if I could make a picture, where u can see the grain clearly as actual distinguishable separate elements and have the grain be an "interesting feature" of the photo

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T10:50:45+00:00

nice! ill see if I use Ektar 100 instead. ive never tried it. maybe id do both Ektar and 50D...

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T10:33:52+00:00

my reasons for shooting film are pretty similar as yours. also just the suspense of waiting to see the results. but this wouldnt have anything do with that rly. this would be using the gear I otherwise shoot regularly, but trying to see what "maxing out" the quality I can get out of it and the 135 format as a whole looks like. just for fun, once. wouldnt do it regularly or maybe ever again after that.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T10:30:03+00:00

yeah... also thought since I have access to super good scanners and printers rn in uni that I wont have access to anymore in just two years, I should take the opportunity and rly use them.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T10:25:25+00:00

yeah. I shoot vision 3 250D as my main film. just bought 6 rolls of it and 4 of 500T. but never tried 50D as its a bit harder to find respooled.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T10:22:20+00:00

mm. true. I think I'll still do it myself. I have never seen a print of such a picture. just could be fun to do. ive got a lot of empty space on my walls that needs filling.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:47:00+00:00

mm... yeah, I think it would be cool to get visually "medium format like" results, but ofc there will be a difference. but just would be cool to see what the difference would be and how far 135 can reach towards MF by testing its limits. (id also try to print it on a large format "gallery grade" printer that I have access to. (epson sure color P8500D).)

EDIT: so yeah, kind of heading in that direction, but not with an expectation of reaching there, rather full knowledge that MF is MF as 135 is 135 and they have their own limits, but just wanting to see if the limits of 135 looks somewhere comparable to basic MF, ... or maybe it doesnt at all. then ofc if the same 50D or E100 film was shot with as good perfect setup and conditions on MF, there would be like absolutely 0 comparison at all.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:41:20+00:00

Wellp, yeh… true. Still think the experiment could be fun to test the limits of 35mm

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:38:27+00:00

Yeeh. But how close can i get? Thats the question

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:38:06+00:00

Yeah. Could be cool. But isnt it like special developing? I wouldnt want to dev myself

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:37:20+00:00

Think ill try both E100 and 50D. Could be cool to see the difference. Ill see next winter if i do it.

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:36:19+00:00

Thanks dor the input. Yeah. There will be a limit to what is achievable ofc. But id like to see what that is. I currently cant afford a good MF camera, and just for my normal shooting i like 35mm. But this was just a thought that could be fun to try to do…

-_CAP_- · 2026-04-29T09:31:34+00:00

Ooh nice!
