Hi, I’m the guy who posted thatvideo on YouTube. Thanks for all who watched it. And thanks for thisdiscussion. I learned a lot reading this thread.
I read through this forum post andfigured I should answer a few of the questions.
Isn’t this a Latitude test, not a DynamicRange test? That is correct. Latitude would be a better title for the video.But the intended audience leans toward digital, and “Dynamic Range” is a termthey understand and would type into a Google search.
Why B&W? Because I don’t knowhow to develop color yet.
A bunch of you pointed out that otherfilms have better dynamic range or latitude. Thanks for telling me! I need to knowthat kind of stuff.
Why TMax? Because that’s what Ibought when I went film shopping.
Why 100 ISO? Because I wanted to match the ISO on thedigital camera. Why ISO 100 on the digital camera? Because that’s the nativeISO so it will yield the best results.
Why develop in D76? Because according to my Google search, that isa good overall middle-of-the-road developer for most shooting styles.
In case you are curious about me. Itook a “How to Develop Film” course at my local community college. Then I wentout and made this video. I’ve been an avid photographer for a few decades. Exclusivelydigital for the past 15 or 20 years. Before that, I just dropped my film off atthe store for processing.
