#2809. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
Here are 5 more rolls from my Film on Film project. This is the newly released Kodak Kodacolor 200. It’s the same emulsion as Kodak ColorPlus 200 (as well as Kodak Retina 200). I’ve recently shot a test roll and hope to develop it in the coming days.
#2810. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
And here’s Kodak ColorPlus 200 which, as you can see, clearly says it’s Kodacolor 200. That’s not confusing at all! I often like the results I get when shooting with this film.
#2811. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
This is the new Kodak Kodacolor 100. I’ve also shot a roll of this and will develop it soon.
#2812. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
And this is the original Kodak Kodacolor 100. I have yet to shoot this roll.
#2813. Fuji Instax Mini, Lomography Diana F+ with Instant Back.
Finally, this is Kodak Kodacolor VR 1000. My results with this long-expired film haven’t been very good. High speed ISO films do not stand the test of time as well as low ISO films because the emulsion is much more sensitive and therefore degrades and fogs much quicker.
On another note, I’ve recently changed the way I scan my Instax photos. Originally, I was using my Canon printer & scanner, but I kept getting a lot of ugly newton rings. Then I switched to using a DSLR to create the images, but the results did not meet my perfectionist standards. These 5 images were scanned on my Epson Perfection V600 using a homemade Instax holder to raise the film 1mm off the scanner bed. I made the holder out of cardboard and covered it in black cardstock to help clearly define the Instax’s borders. I then used Photoshop to crop the images, remove the black background, add a drop shadow, and remove any dust. I’m quite happy with the results.
Foodie, oenophile, traveler, hockey player, teacher, husband & father. I am many things, but at my core, I am a writer and photographer. Give me a notebook, a camera and a pocketful of film and I’m happy. Going Lomo is where I share my love for film photography, because a photograph not shared, only speaks silence.
