Analog Therapy/Film Test: @Lomography MC-A – FPP Jiangshi 400.. #lomomca
I talked this camera up already.
I like this camera. This post marks a pivot from counting off the first rolls of film. The camera is a keeper. Above that, actually. It has immediately become my favorite film camera. And even more than that I prefer it over some digital cameras.
The film.
FPP Jiangshi 400.. A film I am trying out for the first time. Thoughts below. Developed at home with Cinestill df96.
The location.
Out and about.
The motive.
Analog therapy. A distraction. Trying out a new film.
The pics.
Two rolls. Per FPP’s recommendation, I shot the first roll at ISO 200, but it was not to my personal liking. Only a few pics survived.
I deleted the rest. They were thin negatives, too dark for my liking. Perhaps I should not have adjusted the film development time and temperature for the ISO change. For the next roll, I used the ISO speed on the box, 400.
Thoughts.
A fine film. A bit grainy. That works for some. Perhaps it plays better with other developers. I will never find out. I am sold on Cinestill df96 and there are too many affordable films that work well with it for me to find out.
Personally, I prefer less grain. Especially at this ISO. FPP’s own Mummy B&W 400 comes to mind.
Personal preference is all. A fine film.
Anyhoo.
Another successful fit of analog therapy.
Happy capturing.
