by randall Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Recovering from cervical spine surgery with a two level ACDF, I haven't been able to get out of the house. With that restriction I developed the last roll of HP5 shot while in Japan last April. Nice thing about the surgery is that I can actually feel the film as I roll it onto the spool. Photos from Atami which is about 2 hours by train from Tokyo. Atami is a resort town known for hot springs and was a get away town for famous Japanese authors. All created with Leica M6, Voigtlander Color-Sckopar 35 f/2.5, HP5, DD-X, and scanned on Epson 850. Natural hot spring foot bath outside the Atami train station. People enjoy a foot bath while waiting for the train. Two cute girls. My niece and her daughter. A restaurant where we had lunch 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Got round to filling up the last couple of frames in the Grafmatic for the Auto Graflex RB. One from last May at Huis Doorn. Cropped a bit. http://www.flibweb.nl/flibweb/cpg154/albums/userpics/10001/HD180532.jpg 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_van_Nooij Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 And one of the survivors from roll I shot with the Agfa Record-III from last week. I probably messed up reinstalling the front focusing group of the lens. And there's a light leak I've not been able to pin down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 In my last import of film from the US I included a few rolls of Arista 200 in the 120 size. I really like the tonality and sharpness of this film but I gave up using it a couple of years ago because of the numerous manufacturing defects in the emulsion; pinholes, scratches, hairy things... you name it. While not so noticeable in textured areas, in broad tonal areas such as sky these become a real PITA. While they can be tidied up in post-processing, it's a time-consuming process and hard on the eyesight. Alas, this latest batch has the same problems. I shot a test roll yesterday and while I really like the overall results it's taken more time than I can really afford to knock them into shape. The camera was a Kiev 60 TTL fitted with a 80mm Volna 3 f/2.8 lens, and the film was developed in PMK Pyro.

chuck_foreman1 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 A couple of things came together for me... The best of which is a new job!! And if my joy could not be complete, my long gone Contax IIa has turned up... only later did I realize the RF is not working at all.. but the problem was the shutter and it now works consistently. I gave it to a friend nearly two years ago... friends are not obligated to meet a schedule...though often prodded. Part of my joy is I now have a few weeks off before I start my new job!! So I got out and about with a 35mm Flektogon mounted to a Werra, and my tried and true Rolleiflex T in 645 kit and with yellow filter.. which despite my strain of good luck must've fallen off the camera on the way home??!? So two from each setup ..shot on the same day. Ummm sorry if the scenery is the same I don't get around much anymore! First two: Flektogon with Kentmere, second two: Rolleiflex T with Acros. Both films souped in D76 1:1 straight scans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I can not see why you dislike it, so your post-processing work must have been equally good. It always amazes me that a seemingly pedestrian scene like Tools of the Trade can become as fascinating a work of art as something like the tree in Loner.

Here's a pumped-up section of the scan to give you some idea of the problems, the lines are not power lines or scratches from the camera, but appear quite haphazardly throughout the whole film.

rick_drawbridge Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 That's fine quality work from both the Werra and the Rollieflex, Chuck. I do like the "silvery" look of the Acros emulsion and I should use it more often than I do, though your results with the Kentmere reinforce my liking of that stock.

Julio Fernandez Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I have been running a test roll with two zooms, it took too long to finish. First the Nikkor 100-300 f/5.6 http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/julio1fer/201806019_zpsjavjzg2j.jpg and then a second zoom, 35-105 f/3.5 to 4.5, in a misty overcast winter day down here in the Southern Hemisphere. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/julio1fer/201806129_zpswtvwohmt.jpg I had forgotten how convenient zooms are.

Mike Gammill Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 From one of my short loads of 1981 Panatomic-X. I've been working out a good time for dilution H developing at 68F. I choose my 8000i because of its accurate metering under a variety of conditions and the Maxxum 50mm f 2.8 macro. I might shave another 30" of processing time to make less work in post processing. A few samples: Rated at box speed ISO 32 above gear plus 2000xi flash with lens at f 6.7, cropped Panatomic-X, like Pan F+, Agfa APX 25, and similar films can be cropped with minimal quality loss when properly developed and scanned. I cropped to improve composition rather than show off fine grain since the hallway was dark and I depended on the near infrared focus assist from the flash for autofocus. too hot to play (and it was Saturday so it was closed anyway) I like macro 50's as my normal lens when light permits and even at f 2.8 such lenses are very useful, even with slow films. Van interior with lens wide open at f 2.8 (aperture priority automation) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
