Man, I've had the same idea for a few months, using my 4x5 camera to
photograph either an IT8 or the DC Color Checker on different color neg film
stocks. I just can't get past the time it would take to include a reasonable
amount of color neg films.
I've also thought about creating an artificial target using LAB values and
them image this on a film recorder (loaded with color neg film), but I can't
seem to get around the fact that the recorder/recorder software is going to
have to convert this to RGB values and then you get into some sort of RGB
"working space" assumption on the part of the recorder. Think, think, there
must be a way...
Let us know if you try it and how well it worked.
Terry
