Very fine portraits. Can see shades of how analog is superior to digital.

Is that a 400 ISO film?
Seems much too fine grained for it. I think only 50 ISO film on 35mm format used to give such fine detail.

Yes, it is 400 ISO film. medium format film gives much finer grain than corrosponding 35mm film.  Here is an image from 400 ISO color film (Portra 400).. if it is exposed, developed and scanned well, results are magical.

Thank you 😊.
Film has seen a great resurgence in recent years.. Film is becoming more available but the prices have gone up many folds in last 3-4 years.

35mm Film rolls are available from 400/- to 2000/- . Development costs per roll is around 350 + scanning charges, but lot cheaper to develop self if one regularly shoots Film for hobby.

Do let me know if you need more details, happy to share.

Very nice, Mallik. Reminds me of my b/w film days and sweet smell of wet darkroom  :)
