the impossible test / phase #2
Once again, Impossible asked to some of us to test the new versions of their films, PX600 and Px70, prior to the Photokina.
Huge progress, I have to say.
Still tricky (sensitive to light) when the film gets out of the camera, but with real improvements on the contrast, black and white, and colorS with a final "S" at last !
The PX600 is really an almost perfect black and white film : you can avoid the sepia tones (depending on the temperature) and have to be really careful when touching the pic (the heat of a finger is enough to get a red spot on the pic).
As for the color one, a bit more complicated to use, but with great results, a bit like a black and white hand-colored image, with some yellow skies a bit in the old time zero style.
Obviously, their are heading to perfection. Waiting was worth it.

Tip:
The color film needs a lot of sun if you want color and contrast. Not really interesting in low light conditions, I guess. Quite tricky, in these sunny conditions, to protect very quickly the pic from light.
The picture still develops and changes a lot after 24h. I never saw the final result of some of them...

I must confess a bit of contrast added on this one, - but not so much- to try to get closer to the splendid fleshtones of the original.
