If I shoot this film with a Holga 120 GCFN camera (has flash) in low light, will the ISO 100 film be ok? Or should I look at a faster speed film?

Why waste good film in a camera that is not going to provide quality pictures. When you can buy quality used camera for about for less or the same amount of money. Take a look @ a Yashica Mat 124, 124g, 635 any of them. I have never used a flash with this type of film. If you are going to use a flash try ISO 400 a faster speed film.

Take a Fuji Xtra 400 this will be OK! Ektar a very specific Hight Class film. very saturated. The best way take a perfect result from ektar shooting with Zeiss optic, not with plastic mudy Holga lens.

I've recently changed my S9000 to S100fs. there's not even significant shutter lags even though in dark condition. compared to my old s9000, i could only take 4pics as continuous shot mode at 9m pixel. but in s100fs, 2~3times more shots in shorter time(about 1sec, 1.5sec maybe) 11m pixel mode. even better, 3m pixel high continuous shot mode can take about infinite amount of shots as good use for GIF format animation file.

I agree with this choice. In natural gym light without a flash, I push my 7D up to 1000 ISO and shoot wide open at f/1.8 and 1/500 shutter speed. Outstanding results with my 85mm f/1.8. Great color saturation, tack sharp and beautiful boekh (blur). The lens is fast enough to keep up with 8fps shooting speed.

The only night time shooting I have only Ektar 100 at is sunset and it has great color saturation for that. Once the sun goes almost down it is not the speed of film to have in your camera. I mostly use Ektar 100 for daylight landscapes or buildings. I hope that answer helps you.

This camera is great in low light if you use the flash. Without the flash the photo will come out a little dark. Trust me; you'll love this camera :)

I'd have to agree with J.W Kennedy, it is very quirky. I'd suggest the Fisheye or La Sardina cameras for a true beginner. Even the Holga would be a bit easier (although that uses 120 film).

I would recommend a 50mm lens that is faster. Say an F1.8 or so. F 3.5 is a bit slow for low light. You can ramp up the ISO sensitivity to compensate, but you increase noise too. The trade off so to speak.

If you are using the Holga 120N camera, then use it will work. It should say 120N on the front left side of the camera. You can find various types of 120 film on the internet. Good luck.

I think it's just maybe compatability with the camera type?I email/messaged Impossible Project about it. They said it was definitely the film's fault, not the camera's... But I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done to change it. They're old cameras and an old process, basically it's just not compatible. But the color film worked wonderfully. So, I'd say just use color film and steer clear of B&W;, even though that's kind of a bummer.

I normally do not go beyond the rated ISO of a film in the development stage. When I want a higher speed I purchase that speed film since I do not like to risk an image. When one push develops film, the entire roll of film should be shot at the assumed ISO, then hope that it comes out.

This is medium format film. If your camera is an medium format camera it should be fine.

Travis, Set the ISO manually to ISO 400. The 800 or 1600 settings will be grainy. Use shutter priority and play with the white balance. I believe 1/80 second should be good for most shots. Use a tripod, monopod or the" EVF plus elbows against chest and hold your breath technique". Exposure correction in a Photo Editor can also extend your low light level limit.

If it's a lomography camera like a Holga, then you should be able to. If not, no. This film has not been adjusted in any way to give picture lomo effects , light leaks, etc. That stuff comes from having a lomo camera.

Due to how you can't manually select the shutter speed sometimes it gets a little bit tricky to shoot in low light. You'll have to play with the iso and the exposure settings for a while before you get a nice result. The hand-held starlight mode doesn't always work. The night scene mode works fine but you'll need a tripod and ISO is auto so sometimes pics come out grainy. HD VIDEO mode works perfect in low light; I've been going to local band shows and the videos come out great. At the beggining I was a bit frustrated for not being allowed to manipulate shutter speed but after playing with the camera for a month or so now I get some really great results in low light.

Depends on the type of photo you're looking to shoot. It's a fairly slow film so most likely you'll be shooting long exposures. If that is what you are wanting to do then yea this film performs fairly well in lowlight having relatively few problems with mixed light sources and very little need for reciprocity correction.

No. I tried some old film from the early 1960's (similar to 35mm) on the 120mm film frame and it didn't work. What I did do was just put it on the regular glass (with the protective cover in place) and scanned it as a color photo. Oddly enough, it worked! If you already have this scanner, you might consider trying that. Best of luck.

This camera produces outstanding results up to ISO 1600 and usable results up to ISO 6400. If paired with a fast lens such as the Pan/Leica 25mm f/1.4, Pan 20mm f/1.7, Oly 45mm f/1.8, Oly 75mm f/1.8, etc... you can easily shoot in available and low light. Low light performance of the latest generation of sensors in Oly cameras is basically equivalent to the latest APS-C sensors found in Canon and Nikon DSLRs. It is still important (as with any interchangeable lens camera, including full-frame DSLRs) to use a fast lens to get the best results in low light. The kit lens is not ideal for this.
