[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just tried a few rolls of the Fuji 100/1000 and I am quite impressed, except for one thing: the roll I shot at 800 and sent to a lab in Stuttgart has a really low Dmax. It 's exposed fine and has nice saturated colors, but no real black. Is this normal, or should I start looking for another lab? I marked it 800 and requested a 3 stop push. The roll shot at 100 looks fine, a bit low on contrast, but otherwise perfect. Despite this, the shots came out quite nicely. My wife took me to her home town festival in Waldshut here in Southern Germany, something I have never quite gotten the hang of. The have a lottery for a goat, who is the prime guest of a meal later in the year and a parade where he gets taken through town. Then on Sunday night, they light up the main street with red paper lanterns. Quite cozy and romantic. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the lantern part and didn't have a tripod with me, but I made due with whatever I could find and it worked out well. It is amazing what you can balance at M6 on... Thanks for any advice. Keith Bingman Riedheim, Germany
