This particular shot was from a few years ago but yes, following solid winter rain.

Hi all, I'm slowly starting to get moving again in photography after a couple of months off after the birth of my son.
Also finally shooting some FP4plus again and hooray, no strange spotting!

Scarborough clock tower
500CM, Sonnar 150/4, FP4plus

Got myself an Olympus om10 to go with the Pentax mg and the nikon f something. Still no film. But the batteries work so I can at least pretend to take pictures.

A bit more distortion then I'd like for this shot, but ah well. It's the fastest & widest wide lens I have for this body, so what else was I going to use?

Pentax 6x7.
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6x7 55mm f3.5.
Agfapan 100, expired 1984.

Expired 1984

Looks good. Did you over expose to compensate for the age of the film? Grain looks pretty good!

Yep. I exposed it at the equivalent of ISO 12.

This is not the first mid-80s Agfa roll I've shot, and I've always found them to be pretty good considering the age. I'd take it over Kodak rolls of similar vintage, to be honest.

Yes, I know, a much photographed subject, but still ...

So that's 3 stops over exposed then? wow.

Something from earlier this summer working with Delta 3200, twilight and my phone app lightmeter.

That's a very nice camera, and you have used it to great effect here. The exposure seems to be spot-on.

Thanks. After using the lightmeter app for a while now, I trust it for all kinds of exposures. I find myself reaching for the GX617 a lot perhaps because it's a new challenge to find horizontal compositions. And at 4 frames per roll, you can really burn through the roll$ of film.

From a recent visit to Yellowstone:

Camera: Pentax 645N
Lens: smc Pentax-FA 645 200mm F/4.0 [IR] (yellow filter)
Exposure: 1/180 @ F/8
Film: Kosmo Foto Mono home dev. in Caffenol-C

An experiment with shooting 0.8ASA film that didn't quite work for many reasons, some of which were my own fault.

For starters, I decided to load this in a different tank than usual, and screwed up the reels — scratches everywhere, and only really the first few frames developed at all. Secondly, I used HC-110, which probably isn't ideal. On the other hand, I had that and Rodinal handy, and HC-110 was the only one I could find any times for.

Overall, a very low contrast film. (I've bumped it a bit in LR.) Despite selling a bunch, the local shop hadn't actually seen many developed rolls come through last I talked to them. Speaking to one of the lab guys after, the one who likes to try really odd films, he also mentioned getting very little contrast — more gray & white than black & white, and definitely not something you'd want to project, despite developing as a positive.

Anyway, this shot was probably about 3 seconds at f22. Highlights are a bit blown, but I didn't know how much, if any, compensation to add to the shot after going over 1s.

Exakta VX1000.
CZJ Flektogon 25mm f4.
Svema Super Positive (aka Micrat-Orto).
