[Leica] Perils of Film

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

I think you're absolutely right Mark. We havesome excellent labs around here 
who will do E-6 in 1/3 stop increments. 
When I was shooting only film, I would go through the chemistry fast enough 
for it to stay fresh. Now that isn't the case. 
So thanks for giving your thoughts!! I'll be giving it a go with the next 
set. 
Much appreciated,
Bob

This is coming across like
"oh my I ran my film in real old  E6 and it came out bad maybe I should rent
or buy a digital back for tens of thousands of bucks instead like my friend
here did?"

- not a viable comparison.
For the wonders of capture against film use.

The vast majority of serious film photography in color has always been done
with a good Pro Lab.  Most photographers were long aware that maintaining
color chemistry does not pay on any number of levels. There are bound to be
lulls when you're less on top of your chemistry.

You drop your film off in the drop box at the pro lab on the way back from
the park. Pick it up in the morning or two hours later. Then Show us your
scanned results from  that film along side of Jims captures and of course at
that size a few hundred pixels across we'll still know nothing.  But we'll
be able to go "great shots Bob and Jim!" As we'd have a general idea of your
compositional powers. Color balance. And. Of course.
Sharpening.
