320D Test Shots!

It's been a while! Here's my first samples from remjet free Kodak 250D, shot at 320D. Only a handful of shots as it was a quick test before loading up more cassettes for serious shooting.

The samples rolls of this film sold out within a day! So I'm guessing people are into daylight film (I know I am). Although not great art, some of the films natural qualities can be discerned from these shots. The extreme highlights exhibit a red glow, this seems to be a feature of removing the remjet.
More 320D shots to come real soon.

Paper contact from Labyrinth and a quick drum scan of the negs with a quick invert in photoshop. 

Contact Scan

At last, got a few scans made up of my first remjet free test roll!

Top on is a scan of the supplied c-type contact print the lower image a selection of the negatives scanned as a contact on the drum scanner.

C-Type Contact. Note the extreme colours and contrast. The daylight shots are understandably blue (I did not use any filtration to adjust for the tungsten balance of the film). The interior shots are mostly off too. In fact the most intriguing shots to me are the table lamp (mixed light, tungsten and afternoon light) and the portrait in late afternoon sun. I'll try and scan these up asap. 

Digital Contact (PrimeScan 1200dpi + manual inversion). The digital contact shows far more detail and less inherent contrast. I've just applied a global correction, neither biased for the daylight shots or mixed light shots. I've kept the black level up too, so it's a bit less contrasty. This film is rather nice, it's got tons of detail. I'm undecided on the colour.

My first shots.....

At last!
One sample roll, rated at iso640. I've only got these dodgy iPhone shots of the contact and neg. I'm not near my scanners until later this week but I look forward to putting the negs through there paces under the Primescan and trying my new inversion technique for colour negatives.
Super thanks to Labrynth London for speedy development and contact.  More samples rolls to come within a week or two.......
