From a test-roll with a Werra III - that's a rangefinder from carl Zeiss Jena. Coupled rangefinder (still fairly accurate), but the version without light-meter.

I went for a short hike today at Pinnacles (3 mi). Just testing my pack, carrying the gear and my new water Hydropak system from REI. It all worked well. Kind of hot out there at about 100 degrees again so I was definitely drinking some water. Anyway my first shot on a roll of Delta 400. 10 stop ND filter stacked with a contrast filter. I really like the Delta films and probably will just shoot Delta 100 and 400 films for a while after I exhaust the misc stuff I currently have. ID11 for 14min.

One more shot for tonight. I forgot to bring my 2 stop grad filter so I just went with a circular polarizer on this shot. it was overexposed and has a bit to much grain. Same roll and processing as before.

A recent shot with the Rolleiflex Slixtysix (SL66) on one of my last remaining rolls of Agfa APX 100. It was my favorite 100-speed film.

SL66, Planar 80/2.8 wide open, expired APX 100 in Xtol 1+1, negative scan

Thats a view into my cup of coffee - dark clouds above me. I hope the negative will wet-print to satisfy my needs/wishes.

The little C35V despite its age is still very capable. No rangefinder or self-timer like its more sophisticated sibling (C35 A), but one neat feature it has that the automatic doesn't- instead of guide numbers it has manually selected apertures. True that the shutter is then set to 1/25, but it does allow some limited manual use should battery expire.

That will make a fabulous print, Georg_sI1...

Yesterday I completed the reassembly of the 105mm Solinar f/4.5 lens on the Agfa Billy Compur that's the subject of my "It's a Pretty Thing" thread. I loaded the camera with a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus and took it out for a spin. The results are impressive; I think the effort was well worthwhile. Here are three samples; the film was developed in PMK Pyro and scanned on an Epson V700 using Silverfast SE software.

Last week, I received a package of Arista EDU Ultra 100 film, from B&H. I loaded a roll in my Agfaflex, fitted with the 35mm lens, and headed to the local Farmers Market, held at the railway station. The film was developed in Rodinal, scanned with my Canoscan.

The sun was low in the sky, and the vignetting was caused by a lenshood meant for a 50mm lens.

To conclude my contributions for the weekend, here are three frames from a Minox 35 EL with it's magnificent 35mm Color Minotar f/2.8 lens.The film was Kentmere 100, developed in PMK Pyro.

With the roll I shot in the C35V I also processed a roll from the SRT 202 with 35mm f2.8 MC Rokkor HG.

From the Chinon 28-70 f2.8-4.2 lens that I've been checking out for my oldest son. I did a little research and found that Chinon marketed quite a few lenses in that range with various apertures. This one's big and takes a 72mm filter.

I used the Ricoh KR5 Super II with Ilford FP4+ to test it.

Greetings everyone and welcome to our weekly film camera thread. As many photos as you like from your film camera. I'll start with some from my Ricoh KR5 Super II. Lens noted in caption. Film is Rolleipan 25 processed in HC110 dilution H.

Hello Mike

Is there another Rollei film that would come close to the Rolleipan 25?

Those are great photos

Ok, here are my contributions this week.

These are from the Fed2 that I painted the curtain on to get rid of the three little holes, with the Industar 22 lens Kentmere 100 from bulk.

It is also my first foray into Pyrocat HD

I like what I see in the sky shots as far as the grain, or lack there of.

As you will notice there is what appears to be a light leak in the center upper portion of the shot, some did not have this and some did, I am not sure what this is from and if you notice it almost looks like it is a little more out of focus in that area. I guess it could be the film canister I used in bulk loading, but why not on all the shots.

Anyway I presoaked for 3 mins. I developed 1-1-100 distilled water for 13 mins. and one min. water stop and 8 min fix TF-4.

I used 13 mins. as I could not find a time for Kentermere 100 so I just looked at all the films for Pyrocat HD and kinda guessed.

Maybe you guys that have used these Pyro's for a long time can give your procedure for this newbie.

Thanks

Don
