A Solid Film, If Somewhat Grainy for the Speed

By L.J.
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-04-01

After having tried Arista EDU's 35mm and 120 films, I figured I'd give their 4x5 film a go as well. It's far less expensive than Kodak, Ilford, and others, and while it does have its quirks and occasional quality control issues, it's an all-around solid performer. The grain structure is a bit larger than ISO 400 films from other brands, but given the sheer size of 4x5 negatives, it still offers smooth tones, great detail, and overall nice images. It also has a wide enough exposure latitude that it lends itself well to using the zone system for metering, exposure, and development. I used this technique to create the attached image. While I might not use this film for the most critical work, it's still good for scanning to print digital negatives for making alternative process prints. With a decent flatbed scanner that can handle film, it's easy to get images that are well over 200 and even 300 megapixels. If you're looking to cut your teeth in large format, I think you'll find this film to be a great bang for the buck.
