Tales on Film

A couple of weeks ago, we got some film to test from Revolog. All different types of film from revolog have a different effect applied during development of the film. How they do it, I don’t know. All film is 200 iso and is most of the time rebranded ferrania film. This also means you can develop the film in standard C-41 checmicals.

The film I review today is the Revolog Lazer film and had it loaded in my Yashica Electro35 GSN. The special thing about this film is that there is a green and/or blue laser-like line showing up on the photos. The lines are random and different in every photo, but also every film is different.

Because of the randomness of the laser lines it can become a bit funny, like in the above film where there is one of my friends crossed out by the lines. But most of the time I don’t think they really add something to the photo.

The lines are a nice gimmick and if you are lucky they can add something to the photo, but most of the time I just find them a bit distracting. This is probably because of my personal taste as a photographer who likes to know what he’s getting before shooting the shot. However I look forward to using some of the other revolog films as they look promising.

More reviews of the 6 other types of revolog will follow in the coming weeks, as we get through all rolls. Stay tuned if you are interested

I noticed in the search results of this site, that there is a huge interest in the different film types you can find. I’m only reviewing the film I have used till now and keep in mind that these are my personal opinions

The first film, we tested is the texture, I tested it in my Petri 7sII camera. The film is covered in a layer of bubbles that should show up in the dark parts of the photo, but not as much on the lighter parts. As seen above

However I have the impression that you better overexpose the film, to get the desired effect, because otherwise you’ll end up with something like in the picture below, which is not very nice.

For me personally this film is no everyday film. Although I do see some very nice results with this film on the internet. Maybe it’s just my personal taste. However with a bit of practice, I think you can achieve great vintage looking pictures with it. As for example the following photo.
