For the 22nd. KX and M50/1.7 on FP4+ in Pyro HD. COVID TEST SITE, SAANICHTON.

A few with the RTS II & 35/2.8, this time with FP4+ in Pyro HD. CHURCH OF OUR LORD, VICTORIA. OAK BAY MARINA. RED BARN 1. RED BARN 2.

Thank you Rick. Yes, Kentmere 100 is capable of yielding very pleasant results. As Mike says, it is cheaper than FP4 up here. Also available in 24 Exp. suiting my level of activity which, does not justify the 100 ft. Rolls. In comparison with FP4+, it might be just a little less in both contrast & development response.

Some winter sun at last so over to Tsehum Harbour for some repeats with the RTS II and Kentmere 100 in Pyro HD. One with the Sonnar 135/2.8. RAINCOAST SPIRIT. Now the Distagon 35/2.8. OPTIMIST No1. SEARANGER. THE NORDIC TWO. HUNKY DORY IV. R.J. CALEB.

For the 5th. RTS II with CZ Distagon 35/2.8 on FP4 in Pyro HD. PARKING LOT.

Thanks Bill! I'm marking you down as buying the next beer!.

For some reason I took out my old Zeiss Ikon 532/16 and loaded it with HP5+. Haven't used it for years and fouled up the complicated loading procedure, ruining the first 4 shots. Made matters worse by forgetting to re-set my exposure meter from 100 ISO thereby over-exposing by two stops. Old age and photography don't mix! The lens is a post-war 80/2.8 Opton Tessar with a registration number indicating it was made between 1946 & 1951. It has never performed well (sharpness & Contrast) in comparison with results I have seen from later models. I suspect it does not have the post-war improved coating. Jurgen has told me "there are Tessars and then there are Tessars". Anyway, here are a few mundane results after a little bit of PS "Help! Help". These images, from this 70+ years old lens, do suggest images of an earlier time. Developed in Pyro HD. SIDNEY HYDRO CLEAN (unreadable). FOR SALE. SURLY MERMAID. ON LAND. WAIMANGU.

Bill, Rick. If, indeed, Arista is rebranded Fomapan, can one assume that these comments apply equally to the equivalent Fomapans?

I am sure that morning still casts the stone, but we have not seen it for week owing to the smoke coming over from the USA West Coast fires. Making for rather flat and drab photography.
