These things happen

The complete lack of grain in the first shot was a give away for me but like I said, they are still great looking shots.

Thanks, hopefully I'll come back to this thread with some B&W film shots one day, I'm going through a CBA phase at the moment and eyeing off some film SLR's and rangefinders. The shots in this thread are really impressive, and the idea of film photography appeals to me.

These are from a 6x9 box camera, the Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor:

TriX, Diafine, 5+5 @24C

Arista 100, D76

and one from an Exakta 500 using CZJ 2.8/50 Tessar and short extension tube:

I do love that cat portrait, Bill. Our coon took off when we moved, seems to be living a couple of blocks over, need to try to catch him....

HP5+, D-76, Minolta Autocord

I forgot you have the Autocord, love the deep range of tones.

Good luck catching your cat!

One of my first efforts using Caffenol C-M:

Shanghai GP3 100>400, CCM, 12 mins @21C

Mamiyaflex C2 with 2.8/80 Blue Dot Sekor

Nice IR shots. Yeah, good ol' HIE was a unique IR film. I liked you could get by with a deep red instead of an IR filter with it. And its highlight flare, which looks like grain migration without that anti-halation backing, was a unique characteristic.

K1000, A 50mm f1.2, Kodak HIE, Red (25) Filter

chubasco · 10-25-2011, 08:35 AM

Using the Kodak Signet 35 (1951) that has a 3.5/44 Ektar lens, Tessar design.

various film, home developed and scanned

All images uncropped, lens close-focuses to 2 feet. Bought the camera for $25
off ebay, built like a little tank (was designed for military use):

I've enjoyed this thread!

I also have a Signet35 but have not used it for many years - I guess I should put it back into service. Nice pictures from you Chubasco.

Here is a picture from last summer at a downtown fair - my son-in-law being dunked at the Optomist club booth as a fundraiser.

Taken with Pentax MX, Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 "pancake" lens + yellow #2 filter,
Tri-X processed in Rodinal, 1+100, scanned with Epson V500.

Super shot, I like it very much indeed. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but the horizon is just a touch off level which detracts a touch from an otherwise excellent shot. In fact, if it wasn't an excellent shot I wouldn't bother mentioning it!

Thanks, not a problem. I had not made such refinements as this was fresh off the scanner. I usually correct before I print. Silly me forgets.

Thank you as well Tuco.
