rick_drawbridge Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Another nice copy of the very pretty Balda Baldessa 1a came my way, and I'll try to run a test film this weekend. The 45mm Isco-Gottingen Color-Westanar f/2.8 is a sharp and contrasty Tessar design. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_pratt Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Thinking of Kentmere 100, I wonder how it would look in Rodinal. Lumpy, like everything in Rodinal in my experience! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just curious, since I have a bulk roll of Kentmere 100 to experiment with. I think I'll just stick to HC110 dilution H for now. My best results with Rodinal, btw, were with the original Agfa APX 100, TMAX 100, and Plus-X. Tri-X, even though the grain was sharp, was too grainy for my tastes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Stuart- actually that image looks good. The tones show up well on my computer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 This weekend will be working with another of my "amazing" duos. . .the Industar-26 on a Fed-2. Just a bit less sharp than a Jupiter-8, but with a little more contrast. Aloha, Bill 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Stuart- actually that image looks good. The tones show up well on my computer. Yep, same here. The Couple with the dogs being darker and more defined than the surrounding landscape draws my eye to them and the fading landscape they are moving into provides a nicely done context. Lot of Metaphor there.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Started this yesterday. Trying my first roll of Ilford SFX 200. Since its sensitivity borders the shorter infrared wavelengths I'll try a few with an R72 filter. Mostly, though I'll use red and yellow filters. Probably stick with wide angle lens from 24 to 35. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I've loaded some Ilford FP4 Plus into one of my old favourites, a Nikon FE with the MD-12 motor drive. It may be in the nature of a farewell film as I have another nice example of the FE and I'll probably sell this copy to free up funds for further acquisitions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I will take out my Olympus-Pen S. The loaded roll has been sitting there for almost a year. I don't know why 72 half-frames take me so long to complete. 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Continuing with the XE this weekend. I've shot just under half of the roll with deep yellow filter and a few with no filter. The remaining shots will be with R72 (tripod mounted), #25, and #29 filters. I also have a roll of Rolleipan 25 in my Olympus XA that I need to finish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 In a short time, I am off to the Sunday Market with this Fed-3. I will have both the N-61 & Jupiter-8 in the kit for some comparison shots. Aloha, Bill 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm taking a long-weekend trip to Mons, visiting a fellow film photographer. Plan is to use this Welta Weltax along, as well as a Kodak Signet 40. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Started a roll of Panatomic-X in my Minolta SRT 101. Probably will use a wide angle in the 24 to 35 mm range or just go with Minolta 24-50 f 4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels - NHSN Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 It seemed a good idea at the time to buy this 12mm lens: Great creative potential. I should have known - of course - that it is more like a one-trick pony. I do enjoy taking it out on occasions though, and think I will exercise it this weekend. 5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little while ago I shot candids at a wedding, my F was older than the official photographer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 With another week before I return to the classroom I've got some more filter experimentation to try. I'm making some test photos with a 47B filter (dark blue). I know it completely blocks red (my red laser pointer won't even pass through it). A few characteristics I hope to observe: blue filters increase the effects of haze. All colors with wavelengths longer than blue will either be completely or partially blocked. The effect when used with panchromatic film should be even more extreme than unfiltered orthochromatic film. Hopefully results later in the week.
