8 Frames - Tale Of Two Lakes
May 20, 2024
- Where: Eibsee and some other lake.
- Camera: Pentax 67 MLU
- Lens: Schneider Kreuznach Cinelux Ultra 140mm, f2.1
- Film: Kodak Portra 160, Reflx Lab 500T
- Scan: Howtek D4500, Nikon Super Coolscan 9000
Two lakes, two different days a couple of weeks apart. One covered in clouds and rain, one covered in snow and blistering sunshine. Two different films, two different scanners, one camera, one lens. Kodak Portra 160, like many times before, performed flawlessly. I like the look you get when you push the roll by two stops. Reflx Lab 500T has a very nice look when the weather does not. I do like the stock in medium format, but it is a bit tricky to scan. The sprocket holes from the 65mm film stock that it is based on tend to show strong halation when the scanner is shining light through them. I don’t like that effect, which means that I have to crop the images aggressively.
