Strength:

I wanted to get back to basics in my photography, to slow down and think more about what I am doing. The S2 is just the ticket. It is a very solid 20.2 Oz. beauty. Select shutter, select apeture and you are in business. Tamarac Towing Company

Strength:

If you put the AF into tracking mode and rapidly fire several frames, you cannot miss getting a razor-sharp frame. Yes, the 90 can fire two frames a second or four, if you wish. You can also set it to fire only when your subject moves into focus. truck brake service

Strength:

Sharpness
Rich Color
Perfect Balancing

Weakness:

On some shots, the dark blue sky almost comes out Royal Blue.

I am absolutely NOT an expert photographer. However, I can say that I've used this Kodak 100T film a few times, and I was really impressed.
I take a lot of pictures during the evening and night, and the Tungsten balance in this film is perfect for just my type of work. Often times, sunsets in prints, turn out grayish brown due to the smog. This film effectively negates that dull color and makes turns the sky into a rich (almost too rich) blue.
When taking night shots of city lights and traffic, this film cuts all the ambers that are all too prevelant today and cools lighting to a much sharper natural color.
The film has a very fine grain and the results are outstanding.

Strength:

Great in mixed light. Not too blue

Weakness:

ASA More like 50 speed

Just tried 100t for the first time in mixed lighting and loved the results. EXCEPT, I don't believe it is truly 100 asa. I would guess more like 50 asa. I took several shots of each set up. Normal, +1 and +2. The normals were underexposed and the +2 was perfect. I metered with a handheld to double check my work. I don't get it. Shot with a Canon 1n 20mm 2.8 and matrix metering.

Strength:

True to life colors Excellent Skin tones Tungsten Balanced Tight grain

Weakness:

Not really a weakness as it is 100 ISO film, however I would like a faster Tungsten balanced film with similar attributes from both Fuji and Kodak.

I recently purchased a Lowel Ambi Kit and a 1000w Photoflex softbox system and wanted to shoot a Tungsten film rather than a daylight balanced film with a corrective filter. This was in part to reduce stopping down any further than needed. I have used the Fuji 64T slide film in the past shooting fine art oil paintings and still life but shooting people it was to just too slow,the Kodak 100T was suggested by the excellent staff at ProPhoto. I shot a test role on one client to see what it was capable of, since there is not a custom lab near my home, I decided to see what it looked like processed by the local Walmart one hour lab. My logic was if the 100T came out decent from Walmart, then a custom lab could really make it look scream. Well the results were fantastic, skin tones were beautiful, color of clothing were right on, and enlarged to 8x12(largest print size available from Wallyworld, printed on Fuji Crystal Archive matte paper) very sharp, I think this could be taken to 16x20 with no problem(this is my next test with this film). I have not been a great fan of Kodak products for people in the past, but this film is definately a winner.

Strength:

Makes photography possible with cheap work lamps. Grain size nicely small.

Weakness:

Horses for courses

Story goes like this. I had some Sensia and two 300W work lamps. Obviously it did not work out. So I searched something for 35mm and found 3200K balanced Portra 100T. It did its job well. With the work lamps the colors are still a touch too warm, but acceptable. I also tried it with mixed lighting during the day. It was quite great. I actually got what I wanted, that is, mixed cool and warm tones on different sides of the object. Then tried it outside on a dirty snowy day. The obvious blue cast cleaned the the muddy roads in a nice way and I got a nice clean cold winter atmosphere. Also metallic gray colors were enhanced nicely. Pleasant surprise - in those conditions. This is really a good product for a real need. Horses for courses. Thanks Kodak.

Strength:

-Good color balance
-ONLY tungsten balanced print film in 35mm

Weakness:

-wish it was faster iso (though I haven't done a film speed test to see how the latitude is)
-expensive

Finally, a tungsten balanced print film in 35mm format. Perfect for those of use who do not own a nice flash system. I am more fine arts so I am not as technical as alot of the people on this site. BUt I will be doing a test to see the latitude of this film.

I shot this at 100 ISO using 500 watt worklamps and they came out beautifully. With under $50 in worklamps and this film you can have similar results to a studio flash system.

I do wish they would make a faster version tho.

It is on the expensive side at $7 a roll but a welcome addition to my film stash.
