Konika Chromes : hold the color shift, extra grain please!
by wastefulspace on May 7, 2008
Bai recently got a batch of Expired Konika Chrome 200s and of course, I had first dibs on the food. This was the official film of the 2008 NSP Beach Party as it fed a happy Canon AE-1P, Vivitar UW&S, Snapsights Underwater Cam and his Nikon FM2N.
The characteristic is somewhat odd in all slide films I have used. Unlike the elitecolor and velvia which promises instant gratification and prettifying because of the odd green-yellow/red tones. The Konika Chrome does not give such.
*gasp*!
The behavior of this film sides more closely to the actual E-6 processed look. Colors are saturated and contrast-y but if I am correct, the expiration gives it an extra amount of grain from scanning. Still don’t know if it’s the scanner’s fault but both my vivitar uw&s and canon ae-1p negs turned out very grainy.
Interested? Bai is selling these little babies (I do not normally do marketing but its for the loveee lol) if you like what you see below.
Enjoy the pics :) Everything is taken with the Konika Chrome 200s and the AE-1P :)
Oh, the grain :)
Stumble it!
Wow, that’s like *whole* grain grain.lol I’ve been intrigued by the Konica films, but can’t find any here. Hopefully soon, you’ll have more films to play with. Have a great weekend girl!

I know I’m eagerly waiting for your “box” to come…So far, no word from the Post office as of yet

(note to self) next time, send the box via reputable courier! I didn’t save money by shipping with the stupid post office in the first place, and their global priority is a joke isn’t it!!! I’ll bet the customs officers have picked over the box very well too.lol
