In the SLRs, both 35mm and 120, I have used a variety of Kodak and Fuji films.  I like Kodak’s Elite Chrome Extra Colour 100 because of the excellent vivid colours it produces – perhaps more so than Velvia. However, it is only available in 35mm and in some situations neutral tones can exhibit a slight magenta cast.  Fuji’s Velvia 50 is second to none despite only having an ISO rating of 50, but in can be rated at ISO 100 and processed accordingly: Velvia is a god reason not to give up on your film camera!  The print film I like to use is Fuji’s Pro 160C. It is available in both formats, is always reliable and scans really well.

 

For the Olympus XA 2 I use exclusively print film – namely Superia 100.  I find this film displays good tonal graduations, vivid colours, works well in all types of light and has good exposure latitude.  Owing to the metering in this camera it is not advisable to use reversal film as it requires more accurate exposure.
