Posted - Nov 26 2016 : 01:29:40 AM Hi guys, I've been a member here for a few years but life gets in the way sometimes & well, you know. I have a Fed 5 & a Zorki 2c. The Fed is new in the box & the Zorki is well used even though I haven't shot it in a while. I loaded the Zorki with some Arista Premium 400 & hope to finish the roll tomorrow. Just loaded a roll of Ferrania 200 color in the Fed 5 & want to get some shots of the hustle & bustle of Christmas. I mostly shoot a Bessa R & have several FSU lenses I use. J-3, J-8,J-12, I-61ld, I-26m (came with a deceased Fed 2)& a I-50 rigid. (non-collapsible type)I was just gifted a Helios 44m screwmount for my Pentax Spotmatic. Just wanted to say hi & check back in. Will post some photo's once I develop my film. Cheers!

Posted - Dec 10 2016 : 10:52:07 AM My Zorki started giving me some troubles so I transferred the film into my Fed 5. I'll finish the roll & develop. I think there are some small chips of film in the Zorki so I think I can fix the 2c.
Lady Grey is a fine film. I've read it is & is not T Max. There is a discussion on it over at rff. Whatever it is it's a good looking film. Once I use up my Arista I have some Kentmere to use.
Thanks for the welcome & Merry Christmas.

Posted - Dec 03 2016 : 06:11:17 AM Arista is a brand name of Freestyle. A part of the import from Foma film in the Czech Republic is running via this way. In Europe they are selling under their own Fomapan film name (FP100 classic -FP200 creative -FP400 action and Retropan 320 soft). Especially in Europe their prices are real value for the money. Compared with Fuji (Acros 100) a Fomapan 100 film is exactly half price now.
Posted - Dec 03 2016 : 05:51:22 AM arista is a brand indeed. as far as I know it's rebadged kodak tri-x. the production of arista premium has ceased 2 years ago. there are other arista films still in production. but these are not kodak.
Posted - Dec 02 2016 : 4:22:40 PM Hello and 'welcome to the forum', Greg.
Never heard of Arista premium film before. I presume it's a budget brand? I recently bought a 3x box of short-dated 'Lomography lady gray 400' film. It's 'sort of' budget, but I've read that it's actually kodak tmax 400. I've got a filter-factor table which shows that when used with Tmax, the filter factors have to be slightly altered, so I'm going to have to find out Lady Gray is really Tmax.
