Another non-Sofobomo post
Saturday, June 6th, 2009Because yes, I suck. But, on the bright side, I just uploaded some Reala that I shot a week or two ago when I was taking a sofobomo break.
I never much liked the Fuji color negative stuff I had tried before. The medium and fast Superia variants never worked for me, and Pro 400H was a disappointment as well. But I have to say, this Reala stuff is absolutely fantastic.
It’s pretty slow (ISO 100), which is too bad. Not that I have a problem with slow film, per se, but ISO 100 is slow enough that I’m probably only going to use it for particular situations that call for it, rather than using it as one of my go-to films, like Portra 800 has been and Portra 400VC is probably going to be. Which is too bad, because Reala is affordable and very nice.
