Film Camera Week for March 4

[Mike Gammill]

Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. Tech data and location are always a plus. I'll start with some images from a roll of Kentmere 100 that I processed and scanned yesterday. My usual developer: Kodak HC 110 dilution H. Scanned with an Epson V600. Camera was Konica Auto S 1.6.

East Street in West Point, later afternoon

The shutter priority automation still works fine on this old Konica so I used it for all pictures unless noted.

back lighted park fountain, also in West Point, cropped slightly

Remus on same day I did a similar picture with the XE-5

Izumi with bounce flash, cropped

late overcast rainy afternoon in Columbus

rainy windshield near close focus limit of the Auto S 1.6, the aperture was probably wide open or nearly that

One more

Looking forward to seeing everyone's images.

This is a backyard shoot from yesterday. Nikon N80 with a 60mm AFD Micro attached. Film was HP5+ developed in W2D2 Pyro Metol. As a side note I don't think the faster films receive as much benefit from this staining developer as do slower films.

That's an interesting observation. With PMK Pyro development, HP5 Plus exhibits a greater degree of staining than most other films, in my experience.

 

Here are some from a Nikon FA with a 28-80mm AF Nikkor f/3.5-5.6D, used in manual mode, obviously. The film was Kentmere 100 developed in PMK Pyro.

To be honest Rick I probably need more experimentation with this combination before making judgements. I bought a bulk roll of HP5 and despite what I have read this film exhibits more grain than Tri-x and Tmax 400. I was hoping the pyro tamed that a bit.

Love the tonal range in your photos Rick.

Here are a couple from back in September. I recently got some film processed and this forgotten roll was among those I dropped off at the lab! Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.

 

This is Kodak TriX 400, Voigtlander R3m using the 40mm f1.4 Nokton Classic MC lens.

 

The shot of the motel is cropped somewhat, and I think it has a cleaner look to it. The original version is at the very bottom of this post.

Hi all, been a long time. Never shot HP5+ before and a person told me I just had to try it... Shot in a Nikon F100 and developed in HC110(H), Massive Dev Chart time minus 15% for the Jobo. Scanned on V700. So, I don't know if I over-processed the film or if HP+ doesn't play well with HC110, but I do not much care for the grain of the film, or how dense it is.

After using the XA for a week almost any camera seems cumbersome.
