Holy smokes, I love this!! First, I love obscure anything, really. Priceless that she actually sent you some rolls but let's talk about that pop and contrast. Juicy stuff here, Razyln. I'd love to see Puerto Rico shots. The colors there are already intense! Great job scoring these.

Thank you Juliette! I think they have some on eBay, but back in the day I was too scared to buy anything on there. So, I was thinking I might snag a few more if I find some for a good price.

But I agree that the contrast and colors are beautiful. I love the feeling of having something unique. So, I was totally for it when she offered to send me some rolls. She used to have a shop where she sold film—it wasn’t too much out of the way. But she wasn’t selling this particular film, which made the whole interaction that more special.

Love that film packaging, I’m a sucker for such a simple, to the point package, even more so if it’s Japanese. I can see why you love the film, your photos are stellar, and the colors are definitely appealing, more so than most Fuji stocks I’ve seen that are imo too cool. Your slant on buy me a coffee is pretty brilliant, I may have to borrow that eventually 😜

Borrow whatever you like! We are all in this together and film is expensive 😮‍💨. But worth it!

Yeah, this film is so beautiful, not cool not warm but fairly neutral. And the reds and greens just POP.

When I saw the packaging I was like 😍😍😍. It feels so unique

Right?!? It definitely makes the reds pop. And over all has beautiful tones. I truly can’t believe it’s one of those films that never got the attention it deserved.

I agree, it feels subtle and not too over the top.

I’m really looking forward to that trip. It’ll take 15 hours to get there 😭 but it’s for my besties birthday, so it’ll all be worth it.

Beautiful photos. Love that it's being used this way because it was never intended for artistic photography. It was more to just document things and other mundane tasks. You've given it a new life.

Hahah you can always count on me to use something how it wasn’t intended to be used 🤣. I can’t believe that was intended to document mundane things because I have LOVED it for so much more. Such a beautiful film

Oh, and totally unrelated note, I love that nail color too, lol.

Great post. I am one of those that always considered the two stocks to be the same as well. The way you showed the comparison between the two really outlines the differences very clearly.
