Ektar 100. Now it's love (:

Kodak Ektar 100: now it's my second favorite color film, which is available in shops/internet markets. Second after Fuji's PRO 400H, which is, sadly, unavailable. Last time I bought roll of PRO 400H two years ago (35mm film I meant, because 120mm is still available).
I was afraid to buy Ektar 100 because a lot of examples which I found in internet was too green as for me. But now I see how great this film is: no-grain, bright colors and not dull.
Lot of these photos are take with Sigma's CPL filter.

Samsung microSDXC PRO 64GB speed test

I decided to replace a 32GB memory card in my Fiio X5-II. For this moment was used SanDisk microSDHC Ultra 32GB without any issues or glitches, but FLAC needs more and more space. For a new memory card was chosen Samsung microSDXC PRO 64GB with SD adapter, because I heard about Samsung as good flash memory producer (a lot of good reviews about theirs SSD's).

Card reader used: Kingston MobileLite G4 (FCR-MLG4 model) via USB 3.1 gen1 interface. Here's results:

After a long pause: PORTRA 800

For me winter is the time of year when I don't have a lot of time to shoot (darkening to early). I do love winter but when it with snow and all landscapes are like under white carpet. But 3/4 of winter is dirty with a lot of mud...it's depressing :L
Shoot on Nikon FM2n. This time scanned in lab on Fuji's SP 1500, 'cuz theirs Nikon Coolscan 5000ED is broken (hope they fix it soon).

That's "PORTRA" film? So let's start with portrait (:

My first Ektar 100 & new scanner

This time I tried to develop and scan film in professional photo lab. And results impressed me a lot. I don't even expect that the Nikon's Coolscan V ED can be way better than Epson's V750. But it does. I wanted to scan on Coolscan 5000 ED, but glitches happen with it.
Also this is my first Ektar 100 film. I avoided it earlier - because samples from web looked so dull for me. Now I see how cool that film is (with ).

"Fujifilm Velvia 100" or "Fujichrome pt.2"

That's my 2nd attempt to become friends with color reversal film. This time was used a li'l bit expired Fuji's Velvia 100. Camera used: Nikon FM2n. E-6 developing process. Scanned on Epson V750.
And this roll of film was a confirmation that Vevlia loves the sunny days, and that's why my previous Velvia (Velvia 50) was too dark - because it was exposed when autumn days was too cloudy and rainy.

Kodak TRI-X 400

Developed in Kodak's D76: stock, 4min45sec (25C). Camera used: Nikon FM2n.

Awesome Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5

 

Neopan Acros 100 & D76

I love Acros 100 for it's unique image: soft and non-grainy. This time I developed it in expired Kodak's D76 (which had expired in may '14, but I bought it for the price of a fresh one). Anyway 1 more year of storage doesn't affect on images. Developed in stock D76 for 5.25min (developing time I get from devchart).
Captured on Nikon FM2n with micro-nikkor 55/3.5 and nikkor 50/1.8, so a lot of macro there:

My Minolta XD. It was so hard to find it in Ukraine for sale
