I was swapping emails with a friend about the C41 processed B&W films today.
Aparently Fuji has a Neopan CN film that is not sold in the US but according to
him is really superb. We got to discussing the other C41 B&W film offerings.
One of the observations that made was that I had absolutely LOVED the old
Ilford XP2 but did not care for the new "improved" version. The old XP2 had
a clear base where the newer stuff has the color mask. This orange mask
makes printing on regular black and white paper more difficult than printing
a regular negative. I have always DESPISED the Kodak C41 film...
As I was typing this a question occurred to me that I am betting that some
of you can shed a little light on. I have always printed with either a
condenser
with incandescent light source head, or a diffusion/halogen color head...
What would be the effect of using a cold light head on printing these
orange C41 negatives. Would this be the same as otherwise or would the
orange mask have the exact same effect with this lightsource.
I recently acquired a Zone VI cold light for my enlarger but have yet to
try it out...
Thanks in advance!!!
