Jarin Blaschke Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I'm shooting some night scenes using a lot of unaltered location light. I like a hearty negative for good contrast, rich blacks and saturation. To get the stop I need (anamorphic), I figured I should rate either 5218 or 5229 at ei 640 and push one stop. Which stock would be advisable for this sort thing? I imagine '18 will keep better grain but '29 will hold more shadow detail and ease the contrast gained from the push. I may not be able to test on location. Any opinions out there? Thanks. Jarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredrik Backar FSF Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Rate the 18 at 500 and push one from there. tried it and it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted March 2, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted March 2, 2004 I'd also lean toward the 5218, with as close to normal EI-500 exposure you can get. Push if needed. The 5229 will hold slightly more detail in the shadows, but you won't get quite as much density in those night skies.
