Bought 2 rolls of Fuji Superia 400 and took some pictures in Heidelberg and Mannheim. Compared the negative scans to cheap ROSSMANN 400 film. I have to say there IS a difference. I really like the Superia colours. The ROSSMAN film has much more red and the Superia looks more neutral to me. So, I DON`T think that ROSSMANN 400 film ist the same as Fuji Superia! Here are some ROSSMANN Scans.
And here the Superia pictures taken with a LEICA CL, Summicron-C, 40mm, scanned with a CANON 8800f.

I found some pictures of a trip to France in 2008. I´m tired of all that snow here and I´m missing the sun. So, maybe this summertime pictures can produce some summer feeling. We went to France in 2008, by plane to Montepellier, were we stayed the first night and ran into a techno party. Next day we took the train to Cosprons. It´s in south France almost in Spain. We lived in the house of a friend and we had a great week with sunshine and great food. Our friend (Christian) really knows how to cook. All pictures taken with a LEICA CL, 40mm Summicron-C, and cheap ROSSMANN 400 ISO Film. Some people say this film is nothing else than a Fuji Superia but I´m not sure if this is right. The scans were made by the developer-shop.

Hi. Happy new year by the way. It´s 2010!
I got a OLYMPUS OM-2 with a 50mm, f/1.8 glass on it. I really like this camera. Also I got tired of waiting for my scans, so I bought a scanner. A CANON CanoScan 8800f. It´s a good scanner so far but it´s very slow. So I traded time for money. But I think it was a good decision because I really like film. I can´t really explain, but taking pictures with film is different. I need more time for the whole thing. Buying film, loading the camera, developing (not myself), scanning (now myself) and some correction like cropping the negative scans some colour correction and (hopefully) a good hand for sharpening and dust removing. That takes time. But its the same with all the analog stuff like vinyl or tube amplifiers and so on. It´s a different feeling and you have somehow the feeling to get something real, something, that is not 0 and 1. So, here are some test shots with the Olympus on cheap 400 ISO colourfilm I bought at ROSSMANN for 0,99 Euros scanned with my new Canon 8800f.
