\"Colouruption-8441\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I bought a few rolls of what Photo Warehouse calls “Ultrafine Colouruption”\u00a0 Now I’m not complaining because I did expect strange results but the name is a bit of a misnomer as it’s more of a “Mute-elation”.\u00a0 Inspecting the film edge it becomes clear that this film is actually ORWO NC3\u00a0 the “NC” apparently stands for Negative Colour, I’m not sure what the 3 means yet but if its a quality scale that goes to ten I think 3 is being generous.\u00a0 This film apparently hasn’t been manufactured for years and was originally intended as movie film and likely came in canister with a label much like this.<\/p>\n

The film also apparently has a different developing process than C41.\u00a0 Without it can you really call this a colour film?\u00a0 Many of the pictures seem to be bereft of any colour other than a cyan cast while some others have a few selective colours that survive in particular green.\u00a0 Overall I would describe the colours\u00a0 as muddy. The closest comparison I can think of is the look of faded slides like Anscochrome \u00a0 Any way you look at it this is a strange film that behaves like nothing else I know.\u00a0 Ultrafine has it listed as 25 ISO but I suspect you could use a lower setting yet.<\/p>\n

I’m also not saying its this films fault (It’s not) but my Konica Auto S3 died half way through the roll.\u00a0 Repairing it is another post though.\u00a0 Konica Auto S3 Battery Holder repair<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t
