Our new weekly thread begins now. As many images as you like from your film camera. I'll start with some from my first roll of stand-developed film. Rolliepan 25 in 1:100 Rodinal for 1 hour.

Classic Pentax 50mm f2 on modern ZX-5

 

The ZX-5's autofocus has failed so just using it with my "A" series Pentax glass.

Fortunately, the focus confirmation system still works

This film does well with long exposure, although I don't know its reciprocity characteristics

First my Yashica TL Electro X with a Soligar 90-200 mm lens and Tmax 400. Switched to L110. Also read that solutions can accumulate particulate matter so I filtered it at least through a paper towel occasionally. Of course on test Water tower ala JDM 429998601_yashica90-200mmtmax4008-7.thumb.jpg.f02c3b89723c5494062b0b7fc5528952.jpg

A new consignment of the Bergger Pancro 400 arrived a couple of days ago, 14 days from California to New Zealand at a freight cost of $22.50 via FIMS, a service and cost I consider to be quite acceptable. Having done a little more tidying-up on the Agfa Billy Compur I featured in last weeks thread, including freeing up the spring-loaded cover over the frame number window on the rear of the camera, I loaded up a roll of the Pancro 400 and took a walk around town on a very bright and sunny morning. The Solinar lens on the camera is very sharp and distortion-free, though lacking the contrast we expect from our more modern film cameras, but it performs very well for a lens constructed around 75 years ago. Overall, I was pleased by the results, and I'll post half a dozen samples.

Bill, I'm still experimenting a little, but 200 ISO seems to be safe with the PMK Pyro, certainly no slower. Development : 75oF, 1-2 per 100 dilution, 2 gentle inversions per minute on the minute, 13 minutes. Treat this only as a starting point, obviously. I'm looking forward to seeing how you go with it, especially since we use similarly ancient cameras!

A few around Blue's Bayou Cafe on Anglers Marina with the Pentacon 6 TL, PanF+ in Pyro HD and Tripod. The haze from the wildfires in Central BC have reached us on the Island for the last 2-3 weeks and is evident in the photos.

A very tidy copy of the Konica SII rangefinder camera turned up last week. I've had a working but rather battered example for some years, and I'm pleased to lay hands on a respectable one. I shot a test film this afternoon, and was delighted to find that the iconic 48mm Hexanon f/2 lens is right up to scratch. The film was Kentmere 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

A few more.

Bike is not a true classic, it just has a classic look. Rather like a modern camera that has a retro look.

Ages ago during my kayaking hayday, a rumor floated around the Seattle crowd that someone had put an American Croc/Salty hybrid in the waters of Vancouver Island to control the Canadian Geese. . Rumor confirmed by Tony ! Look at that "GMO" beast on the roof ! Is the part about "her" biting the Minister of Interior on the butt before being dispatched by a Mountie true ??

Nice find Rick. Wish I had those flower bowl protectors for the cats & chickens rummaging about. Oh, my Panchro 400 is 135-36 & will run it thru the Zorki/Jupiter this week. Bill
