Mike Gammill Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread. Post all the images you like from any film camera. No new film this week so I'll post a few from some older images. A couple from the Minolta Hi-Matic 7S. Film was Kentmere 100. A couple of scenes from Mississippi State Campus. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 First image was not on campus but in Starkville. Here's a few from Minolta XE-7 with 50mm f 1.7 MD. Film was Eastman 5222. These were around local walkway in West Point. That's all for now. Looking forward to seeing everyone's images. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce_z._li2 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Lots of fine photos from fellow members to start off the weekly! I recently went to Chicago, and brought with me only the Lomo LC-A 120. These are some architecture photos in B&W, while on the architectural river cruise. Kentmere 100, developed in Adox FX-39 II (1+19, 8 min at 68F). I found this combo works really well. 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Here are a few frames from a length of Arista EDU Ultra 100 developed in Spur Acurol-N, the first film I've processed in this developer. Manufactured in German this developer seems to be little-known outside Europe, but it meets my requirements for a liquid developer with very high dilution rates for one-shot processing, and extremely long shelf life for the stock solution. It is formulated to provide fine grain with very high acutance and can be tailored to individual requirements by varying agitation, dilution rates and development times, and ISO ratings. This first attempt followed the maker's suggestions for the Arista film and I'm encouraged by the results. For a second attempt I'll make slight adjustments to development times and increase the dilution rate slightly. There is no artistic quality to these images as they are entirely for technical evaluation! I'd be interested to hear of any members experience with Spur Acurol-N. The camera used was a Nikon F2 with a 35-70mm Vivitar Series 1 f/2.8 lens. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_foreman1 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Always late to the party... family obligations had me busy on Friday and all-day Saturday. I am running my backlog list of cameras and films. Here is the very fine Nagel-Kodak Retina IIc. These finely built cameras are an honor to use, their quality of build is astounding. The whole roll came out quite nice, Kind of dark no Yellow filter IIRC? I really should use this more. Agfa APX100 in D76 1:1 . Image removed by moderator.

gary green Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 @chuck_foreman1 Very nice, Chuck! I especially like the tulips and the church through the bare trees. I also have a Retina IIc in my collection that I've never used yet. I've read opinions that the 50mm f2.8 Xenon is better than the f2.0 Xenon on the IIIc.

gary green Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 @rick_drawbridge Thanks for sharing the info and your initial test results. I had never heard about Acurol-N but your images look very nice, especially the mid and dark tones. It would be nice to see an example with more light tones as well.

rick_drawbridge Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 @gary green & @chuck_foreman1 Regarding the Spur Acurol-N developer. I've just scanned a second Arista EDU Ultra 100 test film shot very early this morning in hard light, and processed the film with a few adjustments to my original development parameters. The camera was a Canon T90 with a Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 lens. I'm greatly impressed by the results, as shadow and highlight detail are very well controlled and the images are very sharp without excessive grain. I'll post a few samples; I'm particularly impressed by the delicacy of the interior image. The film was scanned on a an Epson Perfection V700 scanner using Silverfast SE software and I'll include a pic of this setup for those members unfamiliar with the system. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_z._li2 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Hi Rick @rick_drawbridge, thanks for sharing the latest experiments with the new Spur Acurol-N developer. And indeed the images are of very high quality with the Arista EDU 100 and the developer combo. Another quick question: you prefer SilverFast SE to Epson Scan? I also have the V700 flatbed and stick to Epson Scan in Professional mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 bruce_z._Ii2 asked: " you prefer SilverFast SE to Epson Scan? I also have the V700 flatbed and stick to Epson Scan in Professional mode. " Yes, with the panels organised as in the screenshot above, I much prefer the work flow of the Silverfast software. The results from either program are much the same. I also run a Perfection 800 on another PC using Silverfast 64-bit, but I seem to use the older SE software more. I've chosen to select Ilford FP4 in the film type menu as Arista is not featured and FP4 is a good generic choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While certain ...well "grain" can be expected in skies, I prefer the overall sharpness to be biting.... you manage to bring out the best overall regardless which developer! That said.. the quest goes on ..and I love these ..well experiments 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
