One of two rolls of Tech Pan I recently came across via sheer accident and omg. If only this wasn't normally impossible and expensive to acquire.

(Well, technically the other roll is "Kodak SO-410", but it appears to just be Tech Pan without the anti-halation layer.)

Ah Paris....a city which should only ever be photographed in b+w

Nice set.

Thanks and I agree! It's a place I've long wanted to return to with just the M2 and some trix
Though B&W in Paris is wonderful, I can't agree with this statement - when I was there last year I used FP4+ in a 35mm SLR but colour (Fuji 160NS & Reala) in my 645, and I got some wonderful shots from both.

I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to make it back some time this year...

Well, I didn't mean it literally. There are so many iconic b+w pictures of Paris, it almost holds a monopoly.

K2 and Zenitar 16mm Fuji Superia 200 colour film then Negative scanned and played with in Silver FX so not a true BW film shot but developed to be from the negative - an interpretation of cross processed.





Okay, the next two were taken on B&W film that was able to be processed in C41 system which was done in a store lab. I scanned the negatives as the prints were a bit bland. Pentax MV with Super Takumar 35mm 2.8 and a yellow filter.

I got some tylenol, sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide. Mixed up some DIY rodinal, and ran a roll of iso100 UFX 135.
Serious bad sprocket hole problems, bad halo effect. I am not certain how to proceed, perhaps a standard develop, rather than semi-stand.
It does work, just gotta get good results.

I've described this statue as one of my standard test shots before, but one thing I never noticed until recently is that while the majority of the statue group was coated to protect against the elements and oxidization, the eyes weren't. The effect is rather striking or terrifying, depending on your opinion of it.



And a second that I'm just happy I managed to get at both the correct time and entirely in frame. (My Contax had come with the finder mask for 85 & 135mm lenses, but I'd never used it before. While composing and focusing in the same rangefinder window is certainly more convenient than swapping between it and my old KMZ turret finder, this particular mask is best described as dark and squinty. And that was at 85mm; I expect 135 would be next to impossible.)



Contax IIa.
Nikkor-P.C. 8.5cm f2.

Efke KB100.

So this is a bit embarrassing... Grabbed what I thought was a roll of Neopan 400 to load in the camera, but forgot I still had a roll of Neopan SS stashed in the fridge and didn't look too closely at the cannister. To make matters worse, I then went and shot it at 1600.

Even developing it with that in mind, the negs are still really thin. A lot of what did turn out is the result of processing the scans after in LR.







Pentax K2.
smc Pentax-A 50mm f1.4.
Fuji Neopan SS. (Pushed to 1600.)

Really need to get around to getting this body CLA'd to deal with that light leak on the edges.

I like those results - a little grainy but great tones. Nice compositions too.

I'm happy to learn that the first roll of film I've ever shot in my new-to-me Pentax ME Super SE came out well, only exposures that seem off were a very few strongly backlit ones -- maybe I used the exposure compensation dial bassackwards. I shot the first half of the 36-exp. roll in auto (aperture priority) mode (but writing down exposures shown in the viewfinder), and the second half I used the camera's light meter, choosing my own apertures and shutter speeds. Very decent results throughout the roll.

Here's exposure 3, barns not far from the intersection of Buchen and Tater Holler Roads, as it came right off of the scanner at Old School Photo Lab (not a bit of tweaking by me). Lens: Sears (Ricoh) f/1.7 50mm. Film: Ilford FP4. ME's auto mode (f/8, 1/1000 sec).
