122

I finally got a Nikor 122 tank and reel.  And it even has the loading guide.

When I first learned about Nikor 35mm tanks from my grandfather 55 years ago, he told me to use the guide the first few times, and then I would get used to the feel.

And that is what I did.

The result is that I lost the guide many years ago, but still have the same tank.

(I inherited it from him not so much later, after he told me about it.)

 

I have some rolls of VP122, and a camera or two to use it with.

Been a few years since that was discontinued (50+)  Interesting to see what you can get.

VP is amazing. 

A few years ago, on a Snowy Seattle day, I went out with a Certa Dolly.

It had 1969 VP127, so about 50 years old.

Fortunately for the girls and their art project, the focus isn't quite right.

(see below)

 

But VP does just fine.

About 10 years ago, I bought an exposed roll of VP122, convenient for testing.

I had to tray develop it, as I didn't (yet) have the tank. 

The pictures weren't all that clear, and I suspect underexposed in the first place.

One has the Mackinac bridge under construction.

That was about 60 years after exposure.  Good latent image keeping, too!
