RE: [Digital BW] Re: 2475 Recording Film grain: how ?

2005-01-29 by Ken Brookner

i liked the tonal scale with pulled 2475 better than what i got with tech
pan at the time.  the balanced alkali kept the highlights from burning out
and also brought up some detail in the shadows.  to be honest, i didn't
shoot much tech pan since 2475 was a winner for me--i don't remember whether
tech pan had an anti-halation substrate or not, but 2475 didn't and i could
use that for some interesting effects.

so, pure artistic choice...  :)
