Film Camera Week for March 6

[rick_drawbridge]

Here is a little mixed bag from some old lenses I've been evaluating. In all cases the film was Arista EDU Ultra 200 developed in Pyrocat HD, and the camera and lenses are noted.

 

First, three from a Canon T90 with a 70-150mm Tamron Adaptall f/3.8 (Model CZ-715) lens.

 

A Simple Beauty

 

 

Ascent

 

 

Work in Progress

 

One from the same film using an odd little 28-70mm Sears f/3.5-4.5 lens. I'm fairly certain it's a Samyang, re-branded.

 

Closing Time

 

A couple from a Minolta XD-7 with a 28-80mm Tamron Adaptall II f/3.5-4.2 lens (Model 27A)

 

Long Gone

Hello

These are from the Leica IIIg with the Elmar 5CM 2.8 and using Rollei Retro 80S developed in Rollei Supergrain 1-12

The sharpness is crazy and as you can tell by the first photo it does not like really contrasty scenes, blows the highlights, there were three that were unusable.

I like it otherwise, will just have to meter better for the highs or adjust the time or agitation?

Well done!

You could try Beutler mix or two-bath Diafine. These would be better suited to contrasty conditions with that film. But this answer would really belong in the B&W film forum.
