Christophe Collette Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hi everyone, which available 500 ASA stock is the most contrasty? 5279? I find 5218 and 5229 to be too forgiving, I want a stock with less latitude, more contrast, deeper shadows. Never tried Fuji... Thanks a lot!

Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted April 28, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 28, 2007 I'll third that. I did some tests on Tuesday that I will try and post here of: 5218 w/ full skip bleach to the negative 5229 w/ full skip bleach to the negative 5279 w/ full skip bleach to the negative 5218 Normal 5229 Normal 5279 Normal And all six of these scenarios with both Panavision Primo lenses and Panavision full "Flare" lenses.

Christophe Collette Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Would love to see those tests Kevin! I have a growing issue with Vision 2 stocks. Too much latitude, no personality. Is there a way to make 5218 more contrasty, I never tried pushing it. I always overexpose a bit and it really doesn't do it for me. Thanks, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted April 28, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 28, 2007 I'll try and get those posted. I have pushed '18 before one stop; it gets a bit more contrasty and grainy, but really not much. That can be great if you need the speed, but not so grate for getting a very contrasty look.
