Hi,

I’d like to try out Fuji RTP Tungsten 64 Type II for some night time architectural work and cityscapes, has anybody used this and what were their experiences?

Thanks
Darragh

Used sheets of this film a lot in my tungsten based studio still-life work. I know people used it a lot for architectural night shots. No reciprocity or tungsten filtering with 64t and more dynamic range. For me though I preferred the ready-load Velvia. 15 secs at F11.5 for that optimum shooting time. Colours were more to my taste whereas the 64T seemed cool. With velvia the skies were warmer. Rate velvia at 32 & 64T as is says on the tin.

Hope that helps

Shaun

Shaun,
I love a tasty bit of velvia for landscape work but I like the look of the cooler night time shots with 64T
It’s still a learning curve for me, I only moved to a Bronica ETRS in the last 6 months after 3 years on digital.

Thanks
