Film on Film #13

CineStill 800T
#2651. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
Photos taken at night with CineStill 800T are easy to recognize as the film has no anti-halation layer and therefore lights always have a red halo around them. I haven’t shot CineStill 800T in a while, mostly because it’s not cheap, but also because I rarely shoot at night. If I want or need an 800 ISO film, I usually shoot Lomography Color 800 and get great results. I currently have a roll of Reflx Lab 800T loaded in my Rebel 2000, so we’ll see how it compares to CineStill 800T when I’m finished.


Agfa XRS 1000
#2652. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
Lately, I’ve started testing my expired film collection by clipping off a 15 inch length of film in a changing bag, rolling it onto a new spool, and then shooting it at various ISO to determine how to best expose the rest of the roll. That’s how I discovered that this 30 year old roll of Agfa XRS 1000 is best shot at ISO 200. Despite the base fog and some color shift, I got good results.


Agfa APX 100
#2653. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
I shot a roll of Agfa APX 100 when I went to France. I have a few more rolls in my freezer, both in 35mm and in 120, and look forward to shooting them.


Dubblefilm Daily Color 400
#2654. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
I thought I got some good results with Dubblefilm Daily Color 400, but alas, it is no longer available.


Fuji Industrial 100
#2655. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
This is Fuji Industrial 100, a film only ever released in Japan and whose name in Japanese roughly translates to “for business use”. There are reports that this emulsion is the same as Fujicolor 100. Presumably both film stocks have the same machine-readable edge codes, but until I shoot Fujicolor 100 (I have a few rolls in my freezer), I won’t be able to confirm or deny that theory.
