Mike Gammill Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. Tech data and location always a plus. I'll start with some shots from a camera I posted an image of in the "What camera..." thread. The camera was a Minolta SRT 100 with MC Rokkor 55mm f 1.9. Film was Kentmere 100 developed in HC110 dilution H. Freight cars in West Point RR crossing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 The SRT 100 is very capable with only self timer, shutter speed scale, and mirror lock up missing from the 101 and top shutter speed of 1/500 second. tea and lemonade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 BTW, I'm using a PX 625 silver cell that has been rubbed with a pencil lead on the + side. Seems to make the meter act a little more normal. I did this once before. Eventually the graphite wears off enough to make the voltage too high. Another from the Starkville Bluto's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce_z._li2 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I got my Leica R-mount 60/2.8 macro lens back from an overhaul by International Camera Technicians in San Diego, who did an excellent job. So I went out to Filoli Gardens to capture some early spring blossom. Leica R5 camera, Euphoric Ektachrome E100D slide film, processed at home with Tetanal E6 kit.

rick_drawbridge Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Some from a trial roll of Ilford FP4 Plus developed in Adox FX-39II, rather than my usual PMK Pyro. After a little experimentation I rather like the results; the images are a little "punchier" than those from the pyro development. The camera was a Nikon F4s fitted with a 24-120 mm Nikkor f/3.5-4.5D lens.

gary green Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Nice composition and exposure on the "On McMasters Street" photo, Rick. I especially like the diagonal sunlight bleeding through the fence at the bottom left that complements the diagonal composition of the leaves. Nice OOF rendering as well.

I was very pleased with the delicacy of the mid tones that this film/developer combo created in this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce_z._li2 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hi Rick @rick_drawbridge I really like the results from your Ilford FP4 Plus developed in Adox FX-39II. You mentioned some experiments to get the best results. If you don't mind, would you be able to share your best practice in terms of temperature, time and agitation? My Adox FX-39II is still on back order, and look forward to trying it out myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm still experimenting with the FZ-39II, I'm happy with the results I'm getting with the FP4. I'm using a Paterson tank and add 15ml of developer to 300ml of water, developing at 20oC with four gentle agitations on the minute, every minute, for 7.5 minutes. I pre-soak the film for about 5 minutes as I prepare the developer, in water at around the 20oC mark. I reduced the concentration of the developer below the recommended dilution levels as initial results showed too much contrast for my liking, and rate the FP4 at 100 ISO. No guarrantees, but this may provide you with a starting point! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in a small town, I don't have a great selection of architectural subjects, so I just have to make do with using interesting shadows and lines.

rick_drawbridge Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 My apologies, gary green and mjferron, for my error in responding to your comments! I'm sure you both sorted it out. To keep things moving, here are some more from a roll of Ilford FP4 Plus developed in the Adox FX-39II, this time from a Canon T90 camera using either a Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 lens, or a 24mm Sigma Super-Wide f/2.8. I'll note the lens with the images.
