I managed to shoot a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus yesterday afternoon just before the latest period of rain arrived.The light and contrast were very low, but I rather like the overall wintry effect. The camera was a Mamiya 645 1000s, lenses noted, and the film was developed in PMK Pyro.

 

Winter Light 001 (35mm Mamiya-Sekor C f/3.5)

From 2 weeks ago, when there was plenty of sun - so finally a good time to bring out the Delta 100 and mix up some Perceptol. I quite love this combination.

Leica R6, Summicron-R 35mm and an orange filter

 

Next one is more a test shot of the latest acquisition, a not-that-known lens. Not yet utterly convinced, but operator error is not unlikely either.

Jamestown, Calif. We ate breakfast there earlier this week. It's a good place. The decor inside is Black and White stuff. Even the people that work there are wearing B/W clothing. They have an abundance of B/W cows in the place and a sign that say's "Save Black and White Cows".

Erko - both the wagon and the engine head shots are sweet. Tones on the wood and on the first head shot are particularly rich. Nicely done.

 

Rick - I can't stop loving the clarity of your work. The only SF work I can compare to is Scott Schroeder on LFF and the much missed Tony.

 

Ross - nice one of Yosemite. Clarity & execution (tones, crispness) are delightful in the woods creek shot.

 

JDM - Sweet one of the cathedral.

 

Rick VN - excellent capture of the musician's expressions.

 

georg_s - I was very much *not* expecting this composition & was rather surprised. I really like it.

 

Wouter, Dang - no wonder you like the combo. Tones on the lake shot are enough to make me giddy.

 

Bertliang - 2nd shot of the brooding sky & field through the walking gate is nice.

Went to the Biker rally today and shot a roll of Street Pan 400 that I have had for a while. Here is the first shot of the roll. The film stock is very thin and curly. I decided to go with my Nikon N80 and a 50mm lens. Mostly because it's quiet and shoots blistering fast in comparison to my other old clunkers.

Had a bad week. Invested in a Pixco CY to PK adapter hoping to use my Contax CZJp glass on my Pentax KX. Unfortunately this is an Optic adapter with about a 1.4X mag. turning my 35mm into a 50mm and theoretically loosing 1 Stop. However, this adapter, on the camera, looses over three Stops according to the KX meter, do not ask me how. In comparison the 50mm Pentax-M meters perfectly.

Also, resolution falls off rapidly towards all edges. A complete waste of time.

Anyway here are a few with the adapter and the Distagon 35mm f2.8, on a walk down to a local Cove. TMY and Pyro HD.

To keep our thread moving.

An interior shot of the same restaurant that I photographed with a 50mm lens on a Pentax ZX-7, but this one with the slightly wider view of 40mm.

I finally got a chance to use my 10 stop ND filter today. It meters out to be 9 stops which makes me wonder. I took a digital camera with me to use it to help me work my way down the stops to a seemingly decent shutter speed but it only goes to IS0 200 and my film is Delta 100 so that only added to the confusion of it all. Anyway I wound up bracketing from 15 seconds to 2 minutes in 1 stop increments at f22. . I will post up a picture later but I still have 8 frames left so I cannot develop it. I'm probably going to purchase another incident meter. I cannot afford a 1 degree spot meter.

 

The other odd thing is my tripod. On my recent trip to Calaveras State park one of the rubber feet fell off on a bridge over a big creek. It bounced around and came to a rest 1 inch from the edge of the bridge so i was able to retrieve it. When I got home I removed all the rubber feet and put a bit of gorilla glue on them and then tightened them up. Today for my long exposure I could not extend one of the legs because some of the glue got into the works. I wound up shooting with a short tripod which worked out fine. It's sturdier that way. After getting home I wrapped the rubber foot with a piece of leather and gave it a tug with pliers and it popped lose again and all is well and my rubber feet are still tight and glued. I do not know if you can buy new feet for it and would hate to buy a new tripod every time a rubber foot falls off. Manfrotto Bee Free. The 8.8 lb support limit version in aluminum. The weight limit is bunk actually as my 645e weighs 3 lbs and is really to heavy for it using a normal 80mm lens.

Tested a roll of Kentmere 100 in my ZX-7 over the last few days. I actually used the times given on the Massive Development chart of Ultrafine Xtreme 100 (10' @ 68F dilution H). A bit denser than I like for scanning but still not bad. Might try 9 to 9.5 next time. Grain looks reasonable. I'm considering a bulk roll later this month.

The second camera I had with me on the walk that yielded the previous pictures was a Leica R7 - technically a modern film camera. I used it with Agfa Precisa CT100, I was quite curious about this film. It's much cheaper than other E6 films around here (still relatively expensive), but I must say the results don't disappoint.
