rossb Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 A shot I took today at Point Lobos in my Tri X vs Delta 400 shootout. The scene is similar to one I posted before butt the reason is for me to compare with Delta 100 and Tri X. I guess just based on a single roll of Tri X and Delta 400 shot today I would say I like both films quite a lot and I think I am just going to shoot both of these films for a while and try to discover where each will lead me. I do like the 400 speed because I can be free of the tripod while just walking around taking pictures of the Grandkids and such. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles_stobbs3 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Erko, I just gave away a 1947 Raleigh Sport, I am aging faster than the bike nd didi not feel safe riding it any longer. But those three speeds are the best. Something looks odd about your front wheel spoke lacing. Or maybe my eyes are aging also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 To keep things moving, a few from a year or two back from my Konica Auto S2, which was my first 35mm camera. Still works great except counter no longer resets to zero. Gate on county road, Konica Auto S2 with Arista Ultra EDU 100 same gear plus orange filter showcase from family camera shop- Auto S2, probably Tri-X late 70;s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_miller5 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Donald, I would try this first. While there is no film in the camera place a piece of wax paper across the film gate and set shutter to B. Try focusing at several distances and see if the sharpness of image on the paper agrees with the setting. If it does not, try another lens (like the normal lens) and see if that works. If the unsharpness just occurs with one lens then the problem is just for that lens. Another thing you might try is setting the distances marked on the lens and see if the image on the paper is sharp. to Mike or anyone. One other thing I did differently, I switched to Arista to Unicolor to process. I do not see how this could affect it like tis but it certainly doesn't hurt to ask. I was very careful in mixing but may certainly could affect character of color but not focus IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very careful in mixing but may certainly could affect character of color but not focus IMHO It doesn't look like a developing problem. I'd look at the focus on the film plane as suggested.

But those three speeds are the best. Something looks odd about your front wheel spoke lacing. Or maybe my eyes are aging also. The lacing on the bike is a 2 cross pattern. What might make it look different is the spokes do not touch at the second cross. However the spokes are short compaired to a wheel with a small hub flange and of a beefy diameter so it was laced without touching or over lapping which requires a slight bowing. There are many ways to lace a wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_miller5 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Better results with PraktikaMTL3 and Sigma 200-300 mm zoom Tmax400. Edited August 2, 2017 by donald_miller|5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Another diagnostic tool at your disposal, Donald, is to examine your negatives directly with a magnifier. If you don't have a good magnifier, a 50mm lens set wide open is good magnifier. BTW, glad to see that Praktika ML3 in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles , that is great thing to do , hopefully your 1947 Raleigh found a good home . Front wheel spoke lacing ? I wouldn't know if is the correct way .....but rossb already gave us explanation .

georg_s1 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 . by Georg, auf Flickr disintegrating pitchfork, shot with a Hassi 500 ELX + S-Planar 120/5.6 on very expired HP5plus and developed in Rodinal. This roll of HP5+ had a strong base-fog and some frames showed mottling. The negatives turned out very thin. Flickr added some unwanted sharpening to the scan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Great job with the Rolleicord III, Georg. I have one as well that I need to exercise. Haven't used in several months. Still some time left on this thread if anyone has any more images. Really nice work, this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not expect to focus with out that. I have another for parts so I am in luck Thanks for you input.
