M Joel W Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Newbie question, but how do these stocks compare in terms of look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted June 20, 2022 Site Sponsor Share Posted June 20, 2022 7266 tends to be more contrast with less grain and it is usually run as Reversal so a positive and has less latitude. 7222 has more latitude (it is a negative stock) with more grain but if it is run in F76 the grain can be really nice. Also takes to a push +1 or +2 well in F76 developer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Joel W Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 Thanks, Robert. I want a lot of texture/grain, to feel that the image is composed of grain without losing tonality and having it feel thin. 7266 I worry might have that look? I want something similar to Death to the Tin Man, Bait, Following, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something similar to Death to the Tin Man, Bait, Following, etc. If 7266 is shot properly is is not particularly grainy it has a smooth look imo and it is only when underexposed and pushed that it builds up allot of grain. If you overexpose Tri-X it gets thin and ghostly looking as there is not allot of latitude but I do like that look personally for some things. 7222 has more latitude to work with and takes well to being pushed we just did a really nice spot for Beats by Dre which was almost all 35mm 5222 pushed +1 and +2 and it has great subtle texture and was shot with hard light with allot of contrast and dark areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Joel W Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Can you develop 7222 in caffenol? Based on your description 7222 sounds like the better stock for me to use regardless. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely yield a grainier look than what we do as a lab in a linear processor with F76 developer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the home made look without all the effort. (Or actually I'm just afraid I'd screw it up.) Also – as well as the added grain, there's a feeling of more macro-contrast, almost like applying unsharp mask in photoshop? Or is that an illusion?

Hahaha no you cannot pay a lab to develop in caffenol and it would not work anyway the time in developer in a linear processor will be far far too fast for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Cruz Villalba Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I can develop it in Mexico City in caffenol. I sent a DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
