Tübingen is a nice town about 40 km south of Stuttgart in southern Germany. If you are a regular reader you will surely have come across pictures taken there in one of my reviews. This time I was only using a film camera and various films from the golden to the blue hour.

Harman Phoenix 200 ECN-2 

The first film I had been using was the Harman Phoenix 200. I wasn’t overly happy with the results when developed in C-41 so this time the intention was to have it developed in ECN-2.

As you can see from the samples above: halation, low dynamic range and somewhat odd colors are still a problem.

Agfa Color 400 ECN-2

The next film I picked was Agfa Color 400 – a film closely related to the Wolfen NC 500 I already had a look at before.

In terms of colors I noticed a lot of similarities with the Wolfen 500 NC: everything has an orangey/red color cast. I generally found this film to be rather predictable with decent dynamic range – easier to use than the Harman Phoenix 200 for sure.

Silbersalz 125T ECN-2

When it started getting dark I loaded the Silbersalz 125T – one of my favorite films for shooting under artificial light but rare and rather expensive.

When there was still some daylight you could see some orange/green teint, reds come out very punchy and saturated though.

Where this film really shines for me is under artificial and mixed light, as was the case in the following examples:

This is a film I would definitely stock up on some rolls if it was easily possible.

Ektachrome 320T E-6

In the midst of the blue hour I loaded an expired Ektachrome 320T slide film. As you can easily see from the following samples: its dynamic range was severly limited. It also needed some color correction in post, but afterwards the colors looked quite alright actually.

My name is Bastian and I am your expert here when it comes to ultra wide angle lenses, super fast portrait lenses (ranging from a 50mm f/0.95 to a 200mm f/1.8) and I also have reviewed way too many 35mm lenses. Don't ask me anything about macro or wildlife shooting though.
