One of these was shot on Kodak Tri-X film.
One is on Fuji 400 old 4-layer color film.
One is on Fuji 400 new cine-based film (b&w&color, silver highlights).

Can you match the photo to the film that was used?

My guess is 1 = old Fuji, 2 = new Fuji, 3 = TriX

1 - new cine


2 - Tri X


3 - Old Fuji

Is my guess.

Awesome!

#3, Tri-X and Double-X have nice even tones.
However, the color films (#1, #2) have the little pepper/patches, such as on the cat's nose (that's on the film, but not actually on the cat himself).

#2, most new fast color film is cine500t-based, which scans well and was made for movie-screen size display (at most).
It is nice to leave the zoom at home. That image is 1/3rd of a frame crop.

#1, old color film is what the scanner doesn't like, although a heavier exposure could be HDR scanned (takes a while).

Kudos for matching the photos to the film!
I'm curious for what clues you used to match them?

The horizont lives! I had thought my Horizont swing-lens camera was dead but no.... yay!

It makes two pictures for the price of one!

most new fast color film is cine500t-based

Isn't 500T a kodak tungsten film?

I'm digging that.

I've had a roll of color in my Noblex 135U for a while now. I need to make time and finish the roll. But I have a color backlog to develop from summer and fall still.

Not sure how that happened. Oh well, never mind.

The materials are probably the same supplier, not exactly Kodak (there are more brands/labels than films). Currently Kodak Portra is the only fast color film without a color cast. Other [insert brand name here] fast color films have at least a slight color cast (very mild). I tried correcting this with an 81 series filter. It did remove haze so that distant trees weren't blurry-blue-black; but, light brown things became purple... Is there a 1/3rd stop light yellow filter available?

Tri-X works better in 2 ways:
1. The black and white film is slightly faster in practice (as usual, the color film is ASA320, approximately).
2. Sunset with cloudless sky (or a headshot), is smooth with black and white; but, fast color film might look like an alien invasion or at least not smooth tonality.

Fast color works better in 2 ways:
1. High resolution designed for big enlargements (or crop), and it scans well (if exposure allows).
2. Can make both black and white, and color, images, with just one camera body.

I'd probably use actual black and white film more often, if I could get more than one camera body working simultaneously.

It is rather unlikely that fast daylight color negative film is rebadged tungsten cine film, assuming that is what you meant.

I'm confused when you say [unnamed brand films] have a color cast. Unless you're talking about Lomography

I can understand why one color may show up brighter or more distinct than another based on the makeup of the film, like saying Ektar does browns really well.
But to me that is different than the resulting print (or scan) all being shifted toward a particular color.
That would seem to indicate the printer (or scanner) was miscalibrated...
If a 1/3 stop yellow filter would take out the cast in the capture, it seems to me you could take that out during the printing (or scanning) pretty easily with the right equipment, without negatively impacting (ha, a pun...) the final image.

When I ran a small minilab, we had to periodically calibrate our machine to both updates in film stocks as well as batches of paper, otherwise we would find ourselves dialing in manual corrections all the time to get good color. The same basic thing is going to happen with the color profiles in scanners, especially with expired film.

These were taken with a canonet ql and if i remember correctly, ilford delta 3200 pulled to 800

all 3 are raw from the scan
