Very nice! It would appear that Kentmere 400 is also a very good color film!!!🙂🙂🙂

My dad came of age in the Technicolor era and experimented with color photography in high school. He modified an old Kodak folder for two color (bi-chromy?) photos and then worked on his technique until he was drafted in early '42. Later in life, he had a collection of various Curtis and Devin one-shot cameras up to 5x7, but never shot with them.

Haha, thank you, @Uncle Fester! Using Kentmere 400 for color might even be cheaper, especially with color film prices these days! 🤑

Looking at the Trichrome images posted this week- amazing that this is from B&W film from a Nikon FM. Really is like a scene out of an older Technicolor Movie, or old National Geographic. "Modern" color from digital cameras and film looks exaggerated in contrast and saturation.

Thank you, @Sonnar Brian! The hikers moving along the trail left some interesting colors in this image.

It was slightly overcast during the red and green filtered frames of this trichrome, but the sun broke through just before the blue filtered frame. Instead of trying to recalculate the exposure to compensate, I just carried on to see what might come out. Looks kinda like... Lomochrome Purple?
