Slide Negative
The differences between Slide and Negative films?
I know that Negative is just the average normal picture-taking film, but what exactly is slide film? im interested in buying a camera, and it says it works best with slide film?
what are the differences between slide and negative?
is slide better than negative?
please help. :]
Good question.
-- Unlike negative film, slide film produces an image which has the actual colours of the scene you photographed
-- The contrast range of slide film is narrower than negative film
-- Because of the above, more care has to be taken in exposure
-- Slide films are best viewed projected on a wall or screen
-- You can make prints from slides, but the contrast range issue makes it tricky
-- If you want to make prints, negative film is the better choice
-- The images you see in National Geographic are slide film images (though digital is creeping in)
-- Fine grain slide films like Velvia have the best resolution of all colour films
There's no real answer to the "which is better" question -- it depends on what you want to do with the images.
As for a camera being "better with slide film", I don't really understand.
Better FOR slide film may mean the camera has finer exposure adjustments. But any camera that can take negatives can take slides.
Hope this helps.
