  • I finally got around to shooting a few rolls of Kodak Pro Image 100. It is a relatively affordable 35mm film, that is rated at ISO 100. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. It seems to do exactly what you expect it to do - nothing more, nothing less. I also got in the darkroom with it. It makes very nice darkroom prints with nice colors and great exposure.

    I discovered Pro Image this spring and it's definitely one of my favourites! Loved all the photos and especially the darkroom prints! Absolutely gorgeous.

    This is, in my opinion, the best colour film for winter conditions. It gives the perfect balance between the subtle winter colours and the white snow without giving too much saturation. Really lovely.

    Wow. Those prints are beautiful! Just received some of this film. It’s been on back order for a long time. A little too late for autumn images but looking at your work with it, it should work well for those duller, late autumn, early winter shots. Looking forward to your darkroom guide. Been wanting to get into printing my own BUT the chemical waste problem is what’s been making me hesitant since my house has its own septic and well water. Interested in what you’re doing about the chemical waste aspect of your darkroom.

    Nice video Ribs, I've always liked Proimage ever since they made it available here some years ago. The box design is hilarious, very 90's/early 2000's 😂 I even shot some overseas during some travels and the colours were just great. Kinda like a cheap alternative to Portra, and a bit nicer than Gold (imo).

    Nice video, brought back memories from my color darkroom days in late 70s and 80s. You may want to invest in a Beseler motor base #8921 or Unicolor Uniroller #352 to automatically roll the print drum for you (these come up on eBay). Like your series overall! I used Color by Beseler (Tetenal), Unicolor or Kodak chemistry back in the day - curious as to what you’re using nowadays

    Kodak Pro Image 100 is the BEST color negative film, period. XD
    I´ve been using it since the late 90´s, .... its inexpensive, you can push 3 stops, all the way to 800 and still get wonderfull colors and almost grainless results, better and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than Portra 800 itself.
    Make Pro Image 120 NOW Kodak!!!!

    You must keep in mind that this film was originally developed for “hot” countries. Where the film would be in a hotter environment so it would not go bad as quickly. In those countries there would more light than in the UK. So no wonder you struggled with given the light conditions in the UK for the most part. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with having white people on the box. I remember when the camera manuals of Japanese cameras came with photos Asian people only. I think everyone should be equal, but you can take this race thing a bit too far.
