Film Camera Week for August 20

Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you want from any film camera. I'll start with some images from my Konica Auto S2 (my first 35mm camera). Film was Kentmere 100 processed in HC110 dilution H.

That's all for now. I'm hoping my color images arrive from Dwaynes over the next few days, Looking forward to seeing everyone's images.

I'm a great fan of the Auto S2, Mike, and you've done it justice. I'm currently in lock down due to you-know-what, but here are some from a Minolta Dynax / Maxxum A7 that I shot last weekend. The film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro and the lenses were a Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5, or a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f/3.4-4.5.

Thanks, Rick. I hope you are able to end the lock down soon. I've probably praised the Maxxum 100-200 before, but in your hands it really sparkles. The Vivitar 19-35 is a great lens as well, although sometimes underappreciated. I think it was sold under several brands. I have a Tamron 19-35 in EOS mount and I wonder if it might be the same lens as the Vivitar.

I don't use teleconverters often, but have been impressed with this one. It doesn't seem to degrade image quality at all, and the optics are removable so that the barrel can be used as an auto extension tube.

Unfortunately there appears to be a light leak somewhere along the top of the body shell on my Leotax F.

At least a couple of images were usable

I think you're right about that, Mike. To the best of my knowledge the lens was produced by Cosina and sold under a variety of brands, including Vivitar, Tamron, Promaster, Quantaray, Rokinon, and Phoenix.

Just got into film, so tried a roll of Tri-X pushed +1, which I just got back today. Canon A-1 and 50mm 1.4

Great! More, please. Just love that image of the threesome.

My apologies for the long absence. Have been remodeling the house and the old desktop attached to the V700 has been out of commission. For now I have replaced it with a laptop and a Plustek 8100. Info on this photo is Nikon FM3a, 35mm F2. Film was Adox 20 developed in Adox Tech for 5 min @ 68F. Shot on 4/4/2010. (Not sure about the brown tone here. Have not used Silverfast for years and admit I do not know the software at all.

Excellent shots Andrew.

In Silverfast, have you set the Scan Type to "16-> Grayscale" ? Your image looks rather like a BW neg scanned in RGB.

 

Meanwhile, just to keep things moving along, here are three images from a Yashica 230 camera with a 28-85mm Yashica (Kyocera) f/3.5-4.5 lens. The film was Kentmere 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

Thank Rick. I’ll need more time with the software but did find a 16bit monochrome setting. Looks good.

Here's another from the ColorPlus 200 roll, Olympus 35 RC, 35 2.8 Zuiko, f16/ 1 /250 second. Graffiti, Solway, near Knoxville, TN.

 

Great beginning to our new thread, everyone. The variety and quality of the images continues to impress.

I'm hoping I will have some new color scans arriving this week from the three rolls of Fuji Superia 200 that I send to Dwaynes. I also have a roll of Kentmere 100 in the Konica Auto S 1.6 that I will process in a day or two.

Some more Kodak ColorPlus 200. Olympus 35RC, 40/f2.8 Zuiko, Kingston TN, adaptive Water-Ski clinic.
