Mike Gammill Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Great work, Rick. I've found that for films of unknown times for modern developers that HC110 dilution B for 5 to 6 minutes at 68F is a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I was doing some research prior to developing this film and I saw an article on a guy using HC110 dilution A for 2 - 3 minutes at much lower temperatures. HC-110 at high concentrations is good at compensating fogging and the low temperature seems to help build contrast in old film. But as it has been excessively warm lately I wasn't going to risk messing with it too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Haven't tried dilution A for anything yet, but I do have two partial old bulk rolls that I might try that with: Kodak 2484 and some late 50's Super XX (motion picture stock). My earlier work with the 2484 (mid 80's) had some fog but was printable. It's a grainy film even under the best conditions. The Super XX (not the same as Eastman Double-X or 5222), though was badly fogged and might be worth a try at dilution A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidscott Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) A couple of shots from my AGFA Isolette. This was my dad's camera, that had completely seized up from "AGFA grease" and which I restored a number of years ago. I took the camera for a walk recently, to exercise the shutter (and my zone focusing skills!) Film is Portra 160. Part of this was to test the results of zone focussing vs hyperfocal vs shooting at infinity. I read a recent article suggesting we are better off shooting most subjects at infinity, on a camera without focus aids. Not sure I believe 100%, but I did prove to myself I could use infinity more often. GO Train commuter station, Whitby. (Focused at infinity) Massey Hall.

rick_drawbridge Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I took out one of my favourite cameras, the old Minolta SR-T 202, fitted with the Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 zoom lens, also one of my favourites. I've posted a pic of the kit over on the "What cameras are you using this weekend?" thread. Here are a few samples; the film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro. It really is a very good lens... Morris 1000 Union Square Supplies Daikin 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Good work with the 35-70, Rick. I have that lens as well and like it for its sharpness and compact dimensions. A later edition offered close focusing to I think 1/4 life size but I believe the lens barrel might have had a bit more plastic in it, if that would make a difference, Optically it is still a top notch performer. The last MD mount 35-70 that Minolta offered was a f 3.5-4.8 and was likely made for Minolta by Cosina. That lens and its optical sibling, the 28-70 sacrificed some performance for light weight and low price. Those two lenses were often packed as kit lenses with the X370 and X7A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks, Mike. I have the later edition with the 1:4 macro, and there has always been a debate about whether or not it's as fine a performer as the original version that Leica adopted as the Leica Vario-Elmar-R 35-70mm f3.5. However, I'm not really one to pore over test charts, and the macro function is very handy and adds versatility to the lens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 How convenient.. looking for a yellow filter.. I found it already mounted on the Zuiko 28mm...so why not? Additionally, I mentioned receiving my Contax IIa back, so I shot two rolls to make up for lost time. I also tried the 85mm F2.8 Jupiter 9 that fell my way a while back. So the first two are from the Contax and the others from the Olympus with filter.

Mike Gammill Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Really enjoying your car photos, Bill. When I see one of these vehicles in an old film or TV show, I think of your posts featuring these cars. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a very good lens... Beautiful work, as always. Unlike Bill, I've never seen a Morris in person. That one kind of looks like the offspring of a 1940's Dodge and a Volkswagen Bug (from any decade prior to the "New Bug"). I also love the Daikin shot. If you scroll just a few line, the pattern of the grills does a bit of a psychedelic dance. :) How convenient.. looking for a yellow filter..

I somehow lived my entire life without ever realizing there is such a thing as spotted sheep, until now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloha from the Mainland, Bill That's a great lineup of Morris 1000's, Bill; I'd thought they might be rather rare in the USA. My first "Photographer' s Vehicle" was a Morris 1000 van like the one in your picture, and thereon hangs many a tale and many good memories...

Dark and brooding woods, lots of detail in the mids, sparkle in the highlights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
