I prefer the real materials, but sometimes that is not feasible, physically or economically. And it makes it a whole lot easier and more accurate if I have a full frame image of an x-rite or macbeth color check chart on any given film to be my starting point. Thats where this 669 came from, it was just a submitted scan of a check chart and a large amount of samples from the web. I only have 3 physical images at home made with 669, so the extra images were needed.<br/><br/>If you know of anyone that has film you would like to see emulated, or have a particular B&W film + developer favorite, capturing a frame with the check card and some real-world samples get me off to a great start on any film.<br/><br/>Micahel I am going to try to emulate anything I can physically get my hands on or anything that I have enough consistent quality photos that allow me to get a reasonable emulation from images only.

If you know of anyone that has film you would like to see emulated, or have a particular B&W film + developer favorite, capturing a frame with the check card and some real-world samples get me off to a great start on any film.

Will you try to do some of the other Polaroid range whilst it's available? The Fuji 3000 ISO B&W instant film might be an interesting one to try. Seems to be very popular with cinematographers at the moment although not sure why although even the spec of the film is fascinating. I will try to find out from a DOP friend why they like it so much. Interesting idea for presets Michael. Will you try to do some of the other Polaroid range whilst it's available?
