I'd love to get my hands on a roll of Fuji Natura Classica 1600, but can't get it here. These dark Alaska winters, just dropped in Fuji Superia 800 and excited to see how it will do. Just finished my first roll of 200 ASA, likely mostly under-exposed except for the bulb and multiple-exposure shots, but still looking forward to seeing the results. I wouldn't consider myself a film expert, but I have used Fuji Superia X-TRA 800 in the Diana MINI and I liked it. I've tried lots of different film, but not as many different types as a lot of people around here. Color negative film has such a wide latitude that you can hardly tell the difference if it's over- or underexposed by a couple of stops.Ĭherrybomb Ink Vav: Thanks a bunch, your like the Godfather of Lomo help, I love it! I got one more question, I'm gonna bring my Diana Mini out with me on new years eve, can you recommend a particular 800ISO brand of film to try out? You can also do what lots of people do and just put 400 ASA film in your camera the whole time. I've tested the shutter and I think it's closer to 1/100″, so I think this chart is actually more realistic. If that's true, you can use this chart to determine what speed film you should use depending on the lighting conditions. The specs on the MINI say that the shutter speed is 1/60″. I've used it as a starting point for the chart below. It will certainly work with the Diana Ink: There's something called the Sunny 16 Rule that tells you what speed film you should use on the brightest sunniest day if you're camera's aperture is set to ƒ/16 depending on your shutter speed or conversely what shutter speed to use depending on your film speed. You will either have to get it processed as slides or cross processed as I've described above. You can see more examples of cross processing than you might care to just by looking at the pool for a flickr cross processing group. Cross processing C-41 (standard stuff you buy at the drug store) in slide chemicals is much less common than the other way around.

If you want color negative film cross processed in slide chemicals, you will have to go to a pro lab. You should just go to another mini lab that's willing to do it for you. It absolutely won't, but there's no use arguing. Many mini labs will complain and tell you that it will mess up their chemicals.

Most mini labs have to send out slide film, so they can only cross process slide as color negative for you. A pro lab will be able to cross process either way and they will charge you extra for it.

Processing color negative film in slide chemicals and slide film in color negative chemicals is called cross processing. It works to process color negative film in E-6 and slide film in C-41, but the colors and contrast of the film will be affected. The process for most slide film is called E-6. The process (chemicals, order, and temperatures) for most color negative film is called C-41. Gimel Color negative film and slide film are normally processed in different chemicals. While we're on the subject, can anyone recommend film for use in grey London? I'm yet to use my mini this season, and I wanna capture some decent pics. I've also been looking at Kodak Elitechrome EBX 100 35mm will this be fine with a Diana Mini?Īnd yeah i'm wanting to take the camera to Thailand so there will be plenty of sunlight about Thanks, excuse my ignorance i'm new to film but hat do you mean by cross processing? BW400CN is rated at 400 ASA, but it has a very wide latitude.
