test

it worked This is a second account as it sometimes doesn't work

Hello Stric

First, thanks for the comments

I have an Epson V800 and I believe I used the Epson software

I bought the scanner from Epson, it was a refurbed special

Hello

A few from a Fed2 Kentmere 100 in PyrocatHD

Hello

Here are a few old ones from the Hassellblad various films and developers

Hello everyone. Rick, Don try this with the PyrocatHD. Rate the film at 250. Use 3ml of A, 3ml of B in whatever liquid amount (350 or 450 Nikor) for 13 minutes with Ricks agitation scheme. I use this method and almost all of my films hold both shadow and high lite values. Although I am using mostly Hypercat these days, the PyrocatHD will come out for those horrid grey days that "occasionally" roll into Hawaii. The HD has a bit more contrast. Aloha, Bill

Thanks Bill

What temp?

Rick is using 75 degrees I have always used 68.

Don, great set of B/W images, especially the water scoops. I also have a IIIg with a rebuilt 50 Elmar f2.8 that I need to use once it stops snowing here and I can again go off my property. Thanks for your contribution. I hope to see more.

Hello Christopher

Thanks for the comments, I may have to go back in the archives to post more but I have a roll of Rollei RPX 400 in the Hass 500cm and I am waiting for some batteries for the PME5 I just got to give it a test. So when things settle down I am going to put a roll of Ferrania in the Leica to test out the D96.

Hello Bill,

Sorry to just lurk, so here are a couple from my Leica IIIg with the Elmar 5CM 2.8 and using Rollei Retro 80S developed in Rollei Supergrain 1-12

I may have posted a few in another forum so excuse the duplicates

Thanks

Don

Thanks Rick

I asked about the dilution last time, so sorry for the repetition.

"I made minor adjustments to ISO settings and development times,"

Hello Rick,

Very nice images, would you share the adjustments?

Thanks

Don

A few more from the Olympus XA with Kodak 5222 XX in D96.

A few from the new to me Olympus XA with Kodak 5222 XX in D96.

I missed on the focus and settings on a few but like the developer so far, first time using, got a bottle for the Ferrania.

Hello Rick

Are you using 1-1-100? and what time and temp?

Thanks

Don

Thanks Rick

A few from a Ricoh Singlex TLS with the 50mm Auto Rikenon f/1.7 lens.The film was Arista EDU Ultra 200 developed in Pyrocat HD.

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?

Hello

These from my recent thrift store pick up, a Minolta XG1 with 50mm Rokkor-X 1.7, the shutter was cocked but would not fire so I checked Butkus and the manual stated it would not without batteries, so I asked what they could do on it and they took it down from 10.00 to 7.00, I took it home put a couple of batteries in and works fine.

Some came out a little over but ok for a first try.

Thanks Don

Hello

Here are a few more from the Yashica 124G

Nice results from the Yashica, Don. If the film was developed on a spool in a conventional tank I'd suspect the dark mark is caused by an air bubble, trapped in the spool. I occasionally have this problem but not consistently, and it can be annoying. There's a theory that setting the tank down with a bump after each agitation will disperse bubbles, but I'm not totally convinced.

Thanks Rick

I normally do tap the tank after the inversions, on this roll when I finished and opened the tank and pulled the reel the film was rolled all the way up on the reel so I thought I might have a problem, but only one photo seemed to have any major issue.

Hello all,

I recently received a Yashica Mat 124G and took it for a walk downtown Grass Valley and shot a roll of Ultrafine Extreme 400.

I developed in HC110 B

The camera came from Goodwill and everything seems like it is in pretty good shape except for the shutter release was a little sticky on the return but is getting better with use.

Here are some of the first photos, in one of the photos there is a dark spot upper left corner but only on the one ???

Hi Don, that's excellent ! But where are you based ?

Hello

I am in Nevada City California, USA

I have the V800 also and I am very happy with it.

I use the Epson software mostly but on occasion use the supplied Silverfast.

Hi Don. I'm in Namibia and had them serviced in Johannesburg, South Africa. Not very practical for you I guess. Must be one of the very last places in Africa where vintage cameras can still be helped. 2 others closed down last year for lack of business... (also in South Africa) The good side is it cost very little compared to what you can expect in the US or in Europe. Paid USD 65 for both, and I'm happy with their job.

Hi Rick. Thanks for your comment. I don't use these cameras much either, but I'll take one along when moving around. Film and prodessing has also become very expensive here so you get careful.

Thanks Philipp500

I am getting ready to send a Retina to New Zealand for a CLA so might not be that bad if they don't mind shipping to US.

Thanks

Don

Hello

Where did you get them serviced?

Thanks

Don

Hello Katie

I would suggest a case for the Rollei instead of the lens cap, I have a Rollei lens cap and it is press on and does not work that well.

The case is much better and with the strap coming thru the hole in the side you just unzip and leave it attached and take the shot and zip back up..

The case and the strap may be more than what you want to spend but if you are going to use it a lot it is worth it.

Hello Julio

Thanks for the comments

I had read several posts on Bergger and most said best results were at 200 and then developing at normal 400 times.

Thanks Mike

I will try H next time, how about more or less agitation?

Thanks

Don
