Return To Film

I just found a nice article on using low speed B&W film with fast lenses for limited DOF in mid-day sun.  You all know from past posts that I love the new low speed films that are available from Rollei, Spur, etc.  Every time I see an image from one of these films I still get that wow feeling.  I found this article today about using these films for limited Depth of Field in strong light.  Getting limited DOF for me is usually never a problem since I’m shooting medium format which naturally has a smaller depth of field.  But now that I have the new Contax G1, I’m glad I came across this for portraits.  You can see the entire article here with pics!

I know that I’ve been talking about reviewing some of this for a while now and I promise to do so as soon as we get moved in and settled in our new home.  I’m especially excited about trying it in a studio setting for portrait work.  I’ll post my thoughts as soon as I can.
