What Is The Best Film For Chrome


I need some help in the film section. I have been shooting for a couple of years and untill recent only shooting negative. I have started to shoot chrome and am not sure about which film is recomended and would give me the best results for what I am trying to achieve. I am looking for a B&W slide 50-100 ISO, and a color slide that will give good tones for dusk and dawn shots where you have limited lighting. Could someone please give me their opinion? Thanks.

  As far as b&w goes Agfa Scala is (for all intents and purposes) the only positive b&w film. There is also a process (Dr5) for developing standard b&w negative film which results in positives. For color I really like Fuji Provia 100F. Very fine grained and good under low light conditions.

  For color sunsets and dusk, I like Kodak Elite Chrome extra color 100. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes for different reasons, so you should try several kinds and see what best fits what your tastes are. Good luck, it can be a challenge and I am dealing with it right now as well :O)

  Fuji Provia 100F is my personal choice for its fine grain and accurate color reproduction. In low light, it can be pushed to 200 with great results.
