Film Camera Week for July 20


Recommended Posts

Greetings all and welcome to our new thread. Post as many photos as you like from your film camera. I'll start with some from a roll of Ilford HP5+ that I processed this week. Camera was the Rollei 35 with f 3.5 S. Xenar.

Meter is still accurate in this old Rollei so I followed meter recommendations

This basketball court was a tennis court back in the day when the Rollei 35 was still in production. The church was constructed during the last decade.

dead end road by park; back in the 70's and earlier there was a gravel road continuing that connected the road to the next street

That gravel road was host to a lot of stunt driving, including a fair number of "hand brake turns"

HC110 is what I used, Rick. I'd be interested in seeing what others get from this film in different developers. I won't, though since virtually everything I process is in HC110 with the occasional processing in Rodinal. I have a packet of Kodak DK-50 that I'm saving for the next time I do 4x5. Got about 1/3 box of Super XX I need to use soon.

Been giving the Ozunon 28-70 f3.8-4.8 a run on the Minolta XG1. On the good side it has got me interested on using a Zoom. On the bad side it is, as expected, totally lacking in Sharpness and Contrast. Am waiting for a purchased replacement Minolta MD Rokkor 35-70 f3.5 from Japan. Unfortunately, I now read that this model is inferior to the later non-Rokkor. Comments from the knowledgeable welcome.

Anyway, here are three examples on Arista Edu 100 in Rodinal (1+50). Wet-scanned on BSH&V700.

Seem sharp enough, Tony, especially the first one. This lens, which I suspect is made by Cosina is one of the two budget priced lenses Minolta sold in MD mount. The Minolta instruction manual acknowledges that the lens might vignette at the 28mm focal length when wide open so I think they knew the limitations. Still puzzled that you heard the MD Rokkor version of the 35-70 was inferior to the Minolta MD version. Never had both at the same time so I cannot say for certain. The Ozunun, like its Cosina, MInolta (etc) siblings no doubt will have some combinations of focal length and aperture that will deliver less than optimum results. You may eventually find when focal length/aperture combinations work well.

Here are a couple I shot in 2004 with my Yashica D, 80mm f/3.5 Yashikor, on Verichrome Pan:

 

First is an interior of the Castle in the village of Kolossi, Cyprus, about 9 miles west of Limassol:

And next is the southern shore of the Akrotiri peninsula on the south side of Cyprus:

Race cars at speed is a challenge with a YashicaMat 124. . .you hope your panning (thru the depressed sports finder) is "on". . .a bit like craps. . . sometimes you WIN ! UFX 100, OA & V800 scan. Data: 1/125 @ f8. The big 6x6 neg helps for cropping.1248413805_2k18-051-DSCF0828ces13gsbc.JPG.5cab8f2efe2cf9b81c11e3d235b4fb65.JPG @ f8.
