Hey guys, Honestly, I use Solid Gold in almost every shoot I do....
ahh... because It's cheap ^_^ (P69 per 36 shots)

Do you guys use it too? What are your experiences on using it too? Are there any disadvantages of using it?
Honestly, I haven't tried using any professional film...

Solid Gold is nice, I think you can get it at 55-60 per roll if you look hard enough. If you go to lomomanila there is a bunch of guys who swear by this film :)

wow! Hooray for Solid Gold!

hmmm.. got to get some of these...

could you guys post some sample takes from this baby?

thanks in advance!

hmmm... i would go for kodak (which you can buy 5 per box) or YKL instead. :)

i ws suppose to say the same thing.

good clean takes daniel

David, Lei, Thanks, Wont be too much grain if exposed right. The LC-A and the Yashica GSN did a good job here :)

I haven't tried it but I like Lucky 200 better. should be around 50-60 in Hidalgo

I tried Solid Gold, but I like the Kodak profoto100's or the Fujifilm ProplusII 100's better... I think you can get both for around 225-300php for a pack of 5 (which is around 45-60 each depending where you buy it... I suggest Watsons...)

btw, who manufactures Solid Gold? the box says it's made in Japan

=======================================

Tried and always used it at weddings (would you believe? yah, its true!) Photo Concept at Hidalgo, Quiapo does a good job at balancing the film's colors. Nice output and rivals that of better known brands.

heard it's a reload version of Mitsubishi Film

Nice! I don't know if it's just me but I get a warm earthy hue in the pics. Is it a characteristic of this film?

Pat, yup :)

oh, so that is why I see them in the advertisements.
The Misubishi MX III and Solid Gold are featured side by side...
No wonder... So does that strictly mean that SOLID GOLD is a Mistubishi film?

Might be, a bulk loaded film. Reason for its low price.

Can any lab process this film?

Yes, it's just a C41 film

When I was still shooting film, I was using the cheapest I could find here -- YKL. :Grin: When I was doing b&w, I was using the cheapest, too -- Necopan. And the cheapest photo paper -- Era, When I went digital, I go the cheapest dSLR, too -- 300D. And using the cheapest batteries (CDR King) and CF cards (from CDR King).

Cheap!!! :Grin:
