Kodak Pro Image Film

[waynec]

I’m interested if anyone has shot Kodak Pro Image film. I’m interested in it’s ability to shoot in low light situations such as forest’s shooting waterfalls and general photography.

I like it for general city/people photography - to me it is better than ColorPlus or Gold - more "behaved" in lack of better words - works better with skin tones (asian caucasian) that the other two, but the difference is not huge.
Can't comment on low light and greens as I haven't used it for nature or night. The technical sheet says it exposes normally to 10 seconds without need for filtration, but I guess others can chime in with actual experience.

I just had some Proimage 100 delivered last night and loaded a roll in my Nikon S this morning. I'll post some images here shortly once I finish the roll...provided, of course, that I don't fumble the ball developing the roll. I've also been curious about this film since I saw it a couple months ago. Oh, the anticipation!

I've shot quite a few rolls with it but never considered it for low light because of the ISO. Here are some of mine in lower light but still well illuminated.

I hope you will post some low light, long exposure waterfalls so we can see how it works in that situation.

If you do a search under Zeiss Distagon 35mm 1.4 you will find a thread posted by Leica All Day that has many photos taken on Kodak Pro Image 100, and they have great color IMO.

Leica All Day has lots of ProImage 100 in his Flickr stream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22072877@N05/

This is the thread that rumbliegeos referenced:

Leica All Day was also featured on the Leica Camera Blog. Unfortunately, he hasn't had much recent activity here or on Flickr.

As far as the film itself, it used to only be available in certain markets. It only became available in the U.S. as of a few years ago:

Thanks everyone for your help. I’m currently waiting for B&H to get some stock in. Once that arrives I’ll mortgage the house to get some fuel and I’ll be on my way. Well at least after the temps get up.

It took a lot longer for me to finish and develop my first ever roll of Kodak Pro Image 100. Thinking about it, this is probably the first roll of 100 speed color film that I've shot since the late 1980s. I'd like to blame it on my crappy $5 negative scanner, but in reality it's probably my lack of skill and practice with this format. Predictably, the film did better with more light, and struggled as the natural light got dimmer. I can tell, however, that the color scheme is nice--different than the green-cast of Superia 400. Where I suspect it will do best is on potraiture.

Both pictures from my Nikon S with Nikkor-HC 5cm f2, developed with the Cinestill C-41 kit, and scanned from negative.
