Hi, I'm new to 16mm and I'm going to be shooting my first time over the holidays. I've found a good deal on old plus-x reversal that has been stored in a cool, dark closet since August 2005. What are the primary differences in terms of grain and latitude of plus-x reversal vs negative? Is either more expensive to process? Is plus-x a good stock to shoot on as a beginner? I believe that it is factory sealed, not re-cans. I'm going to be shooting primarily outside and in a well lit studio.
Also, does anyone have an opinion on whether it's still valuable to hand edit as a beginner, or is it ok if I jump straight to telecine/digital editing? I have a small budget, so I might have to hand edit out of necessity.
