Hello everyone. It has been some time since posting here and now that my MF cameras are encased for my mainland stay, I have dug into the archives for a few. This one with an Agfa Isolette 3 / 85mm Apotar. Delta 400 and Obsidian Aqua developer (Pyro staining). Aloha, Bill2144120130_2k15-062-009ces10.thumb.jpg.dd69d4357ddfbbd629dec9daaa688e38.jpg

My Aloha Hotrod. Basically a 50cc moped that you would find here in Hawaii and around the world. Mine is a "cheater" . . 80cc upgrade.

No motorcycle certification needed, also exempt from insurance, although I do carry it ! Plus, 60-70 mpg gives me a few extra $$$ for film ! Aloha, Bill

These have a really great look to them! Exposed at 320... is that according to the the "add X ISO for every 10 years rule" ??

Bronica ETRS, 45-90mm Zenzanon PE zoom, 2001-dated Plus-X exposed at ISO 320, processed in Diafine.

Thanks! Hah, usually I would expose expired Plus-X at ISO 50 to 80 and develop in HC-110B, but after some experimentation I found that Diafine works great with expired (mid-1990s and newer) Plus-X at ISO 320 to 400. This was my plan when photographing Joshua Tree NP, that with a ISO that high I could use the 45-90 zoom in daylight at handheld shutter speeds (1/125 to 1/500) if I had to. Some spaces among the boulders were unaccommodating to tripod use (such as Arch Rock above) and the plan paid off.
