K1000 with M28 mm f2.8, Ilford XP2

IMO this film looks too washed out but I think the pic is still interesting, unfortunately I didn't have a yellow or green filter.

Got some studio time last weekend to play with lighting equipment and models. (67 & Tri-x 400)

The first model looks interesting but I would have used her for less..ehm...angelic shots.

She was married to the workshop instructor.

Chances are that a) the lens is set a little short of infinity and b) the lens and film planes aren't exactly parallel (mechanically, or the film ain't flat) ... Both are common enough in old folders; that's one reason why we like3 f/16 and smaller.

Old post I know, but very cool shot!

Thanks, that was at ISO 6, using an 85watt CFL, I did one at ISO 3 and it was over exposed.

f:11 @ 4 seconds, using my hat for a shutter. LOL

Latest darkroom efforts.

Chinon CE Memotron, Zeiss Pancolar 50/1.8, AGFA APX400. Almost too grainy for me, but it kind of works as a 'vintage' look. Adonal, 1:25 for 11 minutes. I had this roll of film in the camera for about two months, the Memotron is just too heavy to lug around university all the time!

Willow trees down the road from my home in rural Somerset.



My beloved Spottie with pre-set Takumar in place.



In the darkroom...



Not a special photo, but I really loved the contrast and lines present on this VW Polo in black and white.



Secondly, Fujica Drive. It's a Fujica Half with one of those frightening-sounding spring drive motors. I scanned these half-frame shots at twice the resolution I use for 24x36, but they're still very grainy. Fomapan 200, Adonal 1:25 for 5 minutes.

The grain looks good, well suited for a portrait shot!

Thanks! I like the Fomapan 100 and 200 films, they're inexpensive in the UK compared to other B&W films and they give nice results, albeit not as fine as PAN F+ or Neopan Acros. But for a poor student who does his own developing now (they develop easily, quickly and consistently in Rodinal and equivalents) they're great, and the 200ISO version is good for our grey weather.

Devloped a roll of Ilford Delta 100 today. All shot with my KM (Before the shutter went bad).

[FlannelSpoon]

I got a film changing bag for Christmas so I was finally able to start developing my backlog of B&W. The chemicals I was given by an old film guy expired in the early 90's, but the still worked fine.

These are both shot with my Lubitel 166U and Shanghai GP3 100 film.
