Film Camera Week for August 21


Recommended Posts

Greetings all and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. I usually keep a small camera (in addition to a rangefinder or SLR) with me, but sometimes I don't finish the film right away. The camera was a Rollei B35 which had Ilford FP4+. I processed the film in Kodak HC110 dilution H.

That's all for now. As time permits I'll add more from some film that I will be processing soon. Looking forward to seeing everyone's images.

Last two from the Zenit 12XP, MC Industar-61 L/Z 50/2.8, Ektar 100.

 

The I-61 L/Z has a useful minimum focusing distance of just under 0.3m, though being preset makes it a bit hard to use for handheld shots at such close range.

Kodak 2A Model B Hawkeye with Tominon 105mm f4.5 lens - 70mm Konica-Minolta 160 expired 2007 developed in Russian Cine-Mech C41 3 bath chemical kit. Handheld, 30thsec at f22 using cable release. Epson V800, Vuescan. (wow what a mouthful). I made a long flat jig to roll my own 70mm film, so I can now expose both 120 and 70mm in this old Hawkeye folder. It's been an interesting and fun journey.

Some from a series of architectural abstracts from a Mamiya 645 1000S with the Mamiya Sekor C 55-110mm f/4.5 lens. The film was Ilford HP5 Plus developed in PMK Pyro. Scans from a Epson V800 Photo using Silverfast software.

Here's the jig that I made. It has two levels. The paper is pulled through the bottom level which is slightly wider than the top level. There is a pin that the rolled up backing paper sits in. Its just there to keep the roll from bunching up. The jig, paper and the long roll of new film is placed in the dark bag. Film from the long roll at the top and the paper from the bottom are rolled together as they both come through.

That jig looks alright Greg. Do you have concerns about the film getting scratched ? That's what was on my mind so I decided to lay the film flat on the backing paper first. I made guides designed to keep the film central on the backing paper and glued the guides to a 1.5mt long board. In room light, I lay the backing paper in between the guides on the board and clamp down the ends of the paper. The guides have 0.3mm X 1.5mm recesses at the bottom of them to allow the backing paper to slip into. The main space left between the guides is the same as the width of the film, the film is then centralized all the way along the backing paper via the guides. With lights turned off, I lay the film in the guides and cut it with a special cutter I made, at exactly one meter. I then start rolling the film with a spool on the end. The backing paper pulls out from the 1.5mm recesses as I'm rolling the film, and when it nears the end, I tape it. I've rolled two films so far and each one took about five minutes to do once the backing paper was laid on the board.

I haven't had any problem with scratching the film, so far at any rate. I have similar jigs for different film sizes. The method that you describe would involve less movement of the film once it's in the jig. I will try and make one like that the next time I roll 116/70mm film.

I forgot to mention in the last post, that I had to make up a 70mm film hanger for the processor's dip and dunk tank. Apparently the tank is not deep enough for a roll of 116 film.
