lomography.com. this week i shot a roll of film with the supersampler.
here are the best results:
colouring/contrast slightly different on print image; the scanner i'm using automatically did stuff. the colouring is just as vivid on the prints, but you can see a wider range of tones.
I have a couple of new cameras, which i purchased from

here. they turned out OK! but it really is an outdoor, sunshine camera. can't wait to take it to the beach. and brunswick street. ooooh.
roight! i posted scans of my prints from my first roll of supersampler film - Mood:oops. drank too much coffee.

for the longest time i used kodak film under the foolish impression that it was 'better' than other brands of colour film. this was pretty much purely motivated by brand name. however, one day several months ago i was at my developing lab and in the dire need for more film. they only had fuji film. i asked the advice of my faithful lab tech (who can remember my name but never whether i want matte or glossy prints) what the difference in quality was between fuji and kodak film, and he said they are both pretty good, but where kodak adds another layer of red onto their film, fuji add another layer of blue/green. so i decided to try it.
OH MY FUCKING GOD.
if you don't have much light indoors it tends to make the extremely shaded areas blue-ish, but if you are taking shots in outdoor conditions, ESPECIALLY nature scenes, fuji film is DIVINE. i use 400 speed and the level of detail is incredible, as well as the minute gradations of tone and colour in everything in shot. it's incredibly beautiful. my lab also prints on fuji paper and suggested chemicals, so that probably helps, but seriously - if you have a choice in future, GO FOR FUJI. i always use a 400 speed film as well, so i can push my shots at further extremes.
it is amazing.
eta: keeping in mind that the scanner has lowered quality of tone and colour a little, ( here are a bunch of examples )

this post in my main journal for the singing of fuji film's praises and a stack of photos demonstrating how grate it is.
