Here we are again! Yet another stock Ive just shot for the first time. Im not sure why I haven’t before but from what Ive seen on line from other users, there seems to be mixed reviews but I guess thats down to what each and every one is they are looking for in a film stock. Im sticking to my review on this and sod the rest. Each to their own one might say.
One of the first things that drew me to this stock was the price. Buy cheap buy twice maybe? Well, in some respects yes when you’re stack it up against the likes of Portra and Ektar. All over priced in my opinion. However, Pro Image 100 is none of these even though there are countless reviews that constantly compare this stock with these two. View it the way I did, as it is and on its own merit, quality and finishes….
Whenever I shoot a new stock, I try by best to get a cross section of subject matters and a varied palette of colours to see just how the stock perform. Enclosed are a selection of images with that selection of subjects and colours. In addition to that, I shot this content in varied weather conditions too.
So what this stock is not for me is a fine grain stock. I don’t see it as a premium stock either but a really decent all round colour stock with a good finish on it. Ive no idea about all the finer elements that others photographer bleat on about with Proimage such as high colour saturation, accurate colour and pleasing skin-tone reproduction, and good underexposure latitude. I just see this as a really good colour stock to shoot. Bollocks to all that tech stuff - Shoot it yourself and see…RD
