+another that I've only shot one roll of, +but I really like the results. +obviously it swings in the other direction +in terms of film sensitivity, +but more importantly +it has a distinctive look.

+it's like, ok. +more grainy than I'd like, +but that's to be expected of high speed. +my real problem with it +is the lack of contrast. +maybe I should only be shooting it pushed, +but I don't want

-enum +.It +Shanghai Color (ISO 400, China) +.Pp +I love the desaturated colours +and the grain on this. +I guess I like fine grain in b&w +and coarse grain in colour. +I think this is well suited +to the subjects I like to photograph, +like old brick buildings, +but it also does nature quite nicely. +I think this will be a good one to capture fall with. +.Pp +ok so this is almost certainly repackaged +Wolfen Color NC500 +(made in germany). +but the thing is, +shanghai does a better job packaging it. +they use real metal cassettes +and add film edge markings. +and their box design is way nicer. +and on top of THAT, +my local photo lab +sells it for cheaper than NC500. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-09-22/ +. +.It +Harman Phoenix (ISO 200, United Kingdom) +.Pp +phoenix is a fun film! +the lack of yellow filter +and anti-halation layer +can produce some neat effects. +in the right conditions +it also sometimes looks exceedingly normal. +but it also sometimes just... +doesn't work well. +underexposed areas can get really bad. +apparently it can be better to shoot it at ISO 100. +I should give that a try, +or just be more diligent with +how I'm metering.

of anti-halation layer +does tend to make lights look sinister as hell, though. +I'll probably shoot +one of the cheaper repackagings +of ISO 800 cinema film +in the future. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk
