Film Camera Week for July 2


Recommended Posts

Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. I'll start with some images from a roll of Ilford FP4+ that I processed and scanned earlier this week. Camera was Pentax ZX-7 with FA 50mm f 2.8 macro.

We're off to a great beginning on this week's thread. James- that 105 mm f 2.8 Nikkor is impressive. JDM- nice work with the Yashica Electro 35 FC (love the water tank). Great results, m42 Dave from that Fujinon 29-47. I believe the ST 901 was top of the line before Fuji switched to bayonet mount. Rick- outstanding performance from that Vivitar 28-105. This inspires me to look through some of the gear I haven't used as much and run some film though it.

Thanks, Mike. I've found the 29-47 to be a very sharp and contrasty little zoom. The M42 version is quite scarce, being more often seen in Fujica X-bayonet mount, but even then it's not common.

My film-cameras are fairly new, hope you folks here don't mind. Subject here was my favorite clown. I've visited him a few times already and will continue to do so.

I don't have a single photograph of a water tank and I'm feeling rather inadequate... However, I finally received a further supply of the Astrum Foto-100 film that impressed me when I trialed it a few months ago. To my dismay, the base appears to differ from the earlier stock, in that it has a ferocious curl when dry, quite different from the original film that dried flat. Rather disappointing, but I'm pleased to report that the emulsion is the same, very fine grained and sharp with excellent tonal values.

 

Our town is staging a "Mid-Winter Christmas" celebration, with lots of decorations, stalls, vintage vehicle rides and other attractions, so I loaded up a Minolta XD-7 and shot a test film around the streets, and I'll post some samples below. The lens was a Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 and the film was developed in PMK Pyro.

I wish one day to meet you in person. Your Dad was apparently a wonderful person as was your Mom. Love the images you get with Minolta cameras and good old Ilford FP4+. A great British classic emulsion.

Well I did get out with the Exa as mentioned in the "What camera weekend" page. I've been feeling ill and it was hot. I got out in the late afternoon as it had cooled down a bit. The week before, after defrosting the freezer, I was set on using some film that had been "cooling" for many years. The 5-6 rolls are mostly "saving for the right time/situation. I had a 8 year old roll of Ilford Pan F 50. The last time I shot this I was disappointed in the high contrast, I shot it in an Agfa box camera from the 30s. I thought this was a good match, but the results were not to my liking; too much contrast etc. This outing, I decided I would be using Rodinal and I would shoot 6x7 Century Graphic ..inspired by the research John Seaman provided , that the Ektat 101mm was Heliar inspired. . I made an unfortunate cardinal error. The old rule of thumb.. no shutter speed slower than your focal length. I had never shot the "inner court" of the Vodafon complex that is nearby and on the weekends it's deserted so I was excited to get to it. Luckily, I also brought the Contax II loaded with the 35mm Jupiter 12. This saved the expedition. Most of the shots I did in the inner court were metered at F11 at a 60th. and are just not sharp at all ..camera shake ..the Century is a big ass camera to wield and I would've been better suited with a tripod. Hindsight is 20:20 . The Rodinal was the ticket and the subject lent itself well to the emulsion etc. I noted little tonal difference from the APX100 shot with the Jupiter 12/yellow filter.

That was last week, this week The Exa was the designated hitter and also the seldom used120mm Biometer was put to use. Results were mixed. Many done with the Biometar had a dark line on the long edge.. shutter lag or bounce? This is only the third roll for this acquisition. The Flektogon was also used, with more consistent results. Debating whether to post the "Hall of Shame" shots as a lesson to others..or stick with "good " results for the Century (umm none found) . I'll note what was what. The 35mm rolls were done in D76 1:1 The Pan F 50, as mentioned in Rodinal.
