In Reply to: The problem with that part of the film is... posted by orejones on June 15, 2004 at 09:08:59:
Black and White film in the 1960s still used a high grade and content of silver halide in the emulsion used in manufacture; B + W film from the 1930s/40's and 1950s had used even more silver; B + W film from around the mid 1970s on, used less and less silver and some brands effectively then, and now, use almost no silver at all, if any.
Because B + W film has long been marginalised in favor of Color film for volume and $$ sold, manufacturers have simply cheapened it out, such is the nature of progress
My point is this; while you will indeed not now get the degree of definition enlargement from 2004 Black and White 35mm film, in anything other than a medium format or larger camera,it is not at all inconceivable that an enlargement made with quality 35mm B + W film/camera/enlarger done in the late 60's (and Hemmings character is a professional photographer) could easilly have had both the definition, gradation of tone, opacity and depth to render the enlargement process as depicted in the film, 100% credibleMuch of the "grock and fetish" collectors have over 35mm cameras from this era is because the optics had been very finely developed by this stage and without the excessive color correction that later lenses had (to compensate for over saturated color films that came on the like Fuji film)
Alas, shortly after the "Blow Up" era decent B + W film became a can't be had...
I rest my case
