Re: Help Me Pick A Color Film

I had good luck earlier this year using 4x5 Portra 160 NC and also 4x5
Portra 100T using an 85B filter (after getting good advice from list
members on the topic). A Kodak help-line technician (who is also a
pinholer) told me that Portra daylight film (and I honestly can't
remember if he said 160 or 400) can take a 10-second exposure without
reciprocity failure. The tungsten film can go longer without
reciprocity failure.

E6 Tungsten film cross-processed to C41 produces brilliantly colored
prints. The color is surprizingly true, although definitely leaning
toward surrealistic.
