As mentioned last time, I got two rolls of Orwo film from my usual lab earlier in 2024, and just before finishing up the NC500 in half-frame, I started shooting the NC400 with the Kodak M35 after New Year's :-) Its (supposedly) "cooler" tone aside, it seems to have the same graininess and reduced level of sensitivity as its lower-numbered sibling, as I got 30 scans out of 36, and many of the scans that did come out were quite underexposed, even with flash :-\

Film and camera

The two Orwos: NC400 has the red stripe, but the "cooler" tone

Christmas tree behind university sign (compare to similar shot on Fuji Superia 400)

Blurry shot of the stone war monument, adorned with a Happy New Year sign

6:30am attempt to film a flowering tree

Uni entrance

Celebrities at an activity to launch a new soft drink promotional campaign

Rainbow in the fountain

Royal statues

Wallflowers at night

Chinese New Year signage

Flowering tree

Children's running event at the university stadium, with golden hour lighting

Sunset

Early evening attempt to shoot my usual lab at its new location

Inflatable penguin for Children's Day event

Celebrity singing at Central World event

Flowery bush


Stadium shot that ended up being more skyline than stadium (plus crop)

Barely visible stairs decorations for Chinese New Year, with a inflatable snake on the stairs, barely coming out even with flash

Slightly more visible decorations, but blighted by bad frame splitting

Late afternoon shot of a brand-new road arch, again blighted by bad frame splitting

Auntie setting up the food offering for Chinese New Year

Getting Chinese New Year snacks with Auntie, and look at the halation on the first responders' outfits :-)

Barely visible volleyball practice (compare with volleyball action on Vision 500T)

Music festival at my old faculty

Finishing with two more shots demonstrating NC400's (Or)woeful low-light performance: A Chinese New Year arch only having its well-lit parts visible...

...and a shot of checkers players silhouetted against the well-lit stadium outside
