escuta Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) First photo on an Agfa Billy Compur. Raw and out of focus scan made with an HP G4050 scanner (i plan to get an Epson V550). Development problems (plan to sell my stainless steel tank and get a Patterson - i have no talent for winding spools!). All photos on the roll seem under exposed. This was shot I believe at f/11 and 1/250. Other shots at f/16 1/400 have similar underexposure. I used a Nikon F2 with a 50mm lens as a light meter and distance checker. Ilford HP5+ 400 film (50 or 100 ASA film would be better). How many stops would you say that this is underexposed by? Thanks!

[ATTACH=full]1243932[/ATTACH] The way to deal with stainless steel reals is to sacrifice a roll of film and practice in the daylight. I am not sure about the exposure because if everything was working correctly you shouldn't be that far off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm also still using a HP Scanjet G4050 with Vuescan. I hated the HP scanjet software and could never get it to give me good results. Once I started using Vuescan I got much better scans. Otherwise I'd guess your about 1 or 2 stops off...which is weird as shutters generally never get faster when they malfunction (with exception of some battery dependent cameras). Maybe it was a development issue? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escuta Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks James and Rick. James, I've done lots of practice with both 35mm and 120 film. Can't seem to get it right. I used a Patterson tank years ago when I was 15, I remember it worked then so it should I think be as easy for me now. Rick, due to the exchange rate here, the Vuescan software is almost a third the price of a new V550, plus my G4050, as of recently, is producing a long streak in the scans and is very slow, so i think it's time for an upgrade. All the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a development issue? Perhaps and yes it is weird. I used the same batch of chemicals as with a roll of 35mm HP5+ last week and same development time (the 35mm roll showed perfect exposure). The only thing I changed was that I fixed for about 9 minutes instead of about 7 - I don't think that would do anything, would it? The developer was fresh and the Kodak fixer only used twice before. And the camera/light meter was definitely set at 400 ASA. Development time for this roll and the last was 14min 40sec for both (should be 13min but i increased to compensate for a 5% error in the developer dilution).

Being a "Mick" and having grown up in the Larry Bird era in Boston, Celtic is a word that jumps out at me, but I don't associate it in any way with Japan. Seems like an odd choice of name on Minolta's part. But, mostly, I've wondered why they had the separate line, and if it was their budget line. It seems to perform well, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 davecaz- Celtic lenses appear to have the same optical formula as the Rokkor versions, but exterior cosmetics are not as fancy. In some cases the Celtic lenses may have an older version of Minolta's lens coatings. The Celtic lenses were marketed to keep potential customers from going to Vivitar/Kiron/Sigma/Soligor etc. because the Rokkors were too expensive. Probably why Yashica offered the less expensive YUS lenses over the ML series. A few older images to keep things moving.

rick_drawbridge Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Some frames from a length of Arista EDU Ultra 100 through a Nikkormat FTn, using a Tamron Adaptall II 35-70mm CF Macro f/3.5 lens (Model 17A). The film was developed in PMK Pyro and scanned on an Epson V700 Photo using Silverfast SE software.
