A Simple Review of Shanghai GP3 ISO100 Film
If you, like me, who enjoys cheap things, then this film is definitely made for us. At RM90.00 per 10 rolls on Ebay, in these days of film price are getting expensive by the day, l now believe that "everyone can shoot film" again..
Of course, Al Cheapo film is not as good as the Le Expensive film. This Shanghai GP3 feels so thin. The silver nitrade things that made the film be like a film feels like they just put it barely enough just to capture an image. This film can scratch super easily. It carries neither frame numbers nor the brand-name on it's strips.
But surprisingly, this Shanghai made the wetting fluid during development process became blue. Much like the Fomapan. l don't know what the purpose of this blue like chemical thing is, but, again they made it blue this time. As far as l remember, it was colourless during the previous batch of Shanghai.
In the previous batch, most of us are concern about the grainy snowy effect. Luckily, it was not there this time.
Image above was taken with a Holga 120GN on the Shanghai GP3 in an industrial site, a good combination as far l am concern.
The image produce by this film suit my taste and l am enjoying every frame of it. Recommended? Of course.
