Apples to apples

282/366 I shot my first roll of Fantome directly after my first roll of Babylon and made sure to take some photos in similar locations so that I could have a direct comparison. If you’d like to make the comparison yourself, then take a look at post number 274, 276 or 278 after viewing this one. The differences are clear, I think, with the Babylon having a rich range of midtones and many shades of grey, whereas the Fantome has most of the image concentrated in the highlights and shadows. These characteristics make Babylon my favourite of the two for my standard photographic outings, but I can definitely see the use of Fantome in special situations.
