Film Camera Week for June 26


Recommended Posts

Some more Kentmere 100 (HC110-H), this time from Konica Auto S 1.6. I shot these the same week I shot the ortho film so a few places make look familiar.

Keep those photos coming, everyone. I'd like to see this thread make it to three pages if possible.

I'm trapped inside by seemingly endless rain, but at least I have time to delve into a few folders of image I've not sorted before. Here are a few from the Mamiya 645 1000s with a 150mm Mamiya-Sekor f/3.5 lens. The film was Ilford HP5 Plus developed in Pyrocat HD.

 

Nice results from the Kentmere 100, Mike. Sometimes I think I'd be quite content using it consistently, instead of the more expensive films.

Another film I like, that has become expensive over the last few years is Eastman 5222 (aka Eastman Double-X). This is a motion picture film that was once only available as "short ends", usually packaged in 100' lengths to fit bulk loaders. Freestyle offered it for many years. When I discovered it I could buy it for 5 cents a foot, making a 100' cost only 5 USD. Now a 100' length is around 100 USD, although at that price you do get fresh stock cut from a larger roll rather than short ends. You can also buy individual 36 exposure rolls for around 10 USD per roll. I have one reloaded roll left from my last 100' roll that I plan to use soon. Undecided if I'm getting another 100' as currently it's about the same price as the same amount of Tri-X and about 20 USD higher than HP5+. For now, a sampling of some of my earlier work with Eastman 5222.

I don't remember which camera, but likely a Minolta SRT or XE

Trees and pond, Yashica FX3- Super 2000 (don't remember the lens)

Most of my Eastman 5222 was processed in HC100 dilution B, although my first few rolls were in stock D-76. There are ample starting times/developer combinations on the Massive Development Chart. I've learned to be careful not to overdevelop this film as it can show grain under those conditions.
