(newbie) What film most accurately reflects what we see?
That is a loaded question for many reasons.
(1) We don't all see colors the same way. Individual differences in color vision are common. Only when they are severe do we call people color blind. There is even a difference between my two eyes. (2) We see in various kinds of light. Film isn't as adaptable as we are. The film that works best on a cloudy day may not work best in full sun. (3) With print film, you're at the mercy of the people who make the prints -- both their choice of materials and the adjustments they make. Most beginning photographers seriously underestimate the extent to which their prints are controlled by the lab, not the camera or film. |
