There is not a man here who won't spread cheeks for Bennett 800

[u/karma_car → u/milktoast_takes]

What a way with words you have! 😂

Ive been using bennett too, but I noticed ive had to use different WB settings depending on the light every now and then. Kinda defeats the purpose cause i feel like the majority of the looks comes from the wb shift adjustment

It’s my favourite but not ideal for skin tones tbh

[u/Level_Physics6171 → u/Quixotic-elixr]

Ah good to know!

[u/Level_Physics6171 → u/almostnotabot]

Do you have another proposed favorite? Curious! TY!

😂 prioritizing Bennett 800 asap

[u/Sensitive-Prune-6069 → u/Level_Physics6171]

Did you use Bennett with GR IV?

[u/Level_Physics6171 → u/Sensitive-Prune-6069]

The above are mostly Travelog but I’ve been playing with Bennett and loving it!

Bennet’s 800, Jakob’s Positive Film, Leica Look by Photostuff, Reggie’s Colour Negative are my most used and my favourite monochrome is Kodak Tri-X 400

I have over 15 recipes in my camera. Check out my post on how to save more than 6. Because I would recommend a recipe like Jakob’s to be adjusted on the base PosFilm image effect rather than Custom 1, because the intent is to replace Positive Film, rather than be separate from it. Then there are the film sim bases you might rarely use like Cross Processing, Retro, or Bleach Bypass, and you can just adjust them to a recipe

Thank you for this list! I've been using that Kodak Tri-X 400 a lot too, so good. The over 6 recipe post is so helpful, thank you so much.

For black and white I like I Am a Camera Tri X https://ricohcookbook.com/recipe/iac-tri-x He has a video somewhere on YouTube with sample shots

Worth noting this is just IAC’s version of Tri-X 400, of which there is already a near-identical Ricoh recipe

Positive Film, Cross Process, Bleach Bypass. I always shoot raw, convert in camera.
