Konica Centuria (35mm, 100 iso) User-Review
written by wil6ka on March 31st, 2009 , 9 comments (3 votes)

It is so grainy that I even thought it was print-film. Some dislike this film because of this x-pro effect. But I would say there is no wrong and no right, it is just different. And I kind of like the unusual x-pro look of the Konica. It gives the pictures some timeless look, a bit like a painting. a grainy painting ;)

As for the slide-effect it kind of reminds me of the Kodak Elite-Pro. Its blueish tone in bright sunlight is one indicator and its lively colours a second. I have shot with Konica at a boxing-match in a club and I would say it was the best choice I could have made. For me it levels up perfectly the dark and light tones. but I don’t want to put it mathematically. It is simply just right.

    Super gallery ! It's funny, it seems to react better in low light conditions...

    And I agree with Stouf...low lighting seems to be a friend of this film.
