I haven't shared here in a while, so he we go.

If you haven't tried Bergger Pancro 400 yet, it Loves the forrest!

Pentax645 45mm, Pancro 400, D-76 1+1, Epson V550
Tuned it up a bit with NIK in PS and found the "Lighten center" filter in in Color EFX pro4 useful.

A remote flash gives control of the depth and sharpness of the shadows.

Having got the motorised Rondinax running again, I decided to put some Pan F through it.

Got the urge to shoot a Polaroid SX-70 recently. Here's two from tonight using Impossible Project's B&W film.

Excellent shots!

I've got one more roll of this film left, and then it's back to slightly1 less expired film. This roll came out dirtier than some of the others, though it's possible I was just less careful when respooling it onto the 120 spools.

I'll miss it when it's gone, as it gave interesting results. Even if the effective ISO of somewhere around 3 to 5 meant that it was mostly limited to shooting wide-open on bright sunny days.

1. There's a roll of Neopan from '78 or so, but I think all my other expired stock is early '80s at most.

Yashicaflex A.
Yashimar 80mm f3.5.
Kodak Verichrome Pan (expired 1972).

One from my first roll of Ferrania P30, using my Super A & FA31/1.8:

I really didn't expect the Ferrania venture to pan out.

The b&w film is a side venture, the original plan was for various E6 films. (Still waiting on those and no ETA in site.)

They owe me a bunch of E6 freebies through their Kickstarter campaign and my name engraved on a plaque in the factory!

Is this a new emulsion or are they slitting existing motion picture stock?

New production, though supposedly similar to the old P30 — hence the name. They started producing some to test the coating & slitting machines, and decided to sell it.

(Though my guess is also that they probably are needing some more money by this point.)
