Some from some 2019 rolls I've never really gotten around to sorting through. Disappointingly, I made notes on what lens I was using but not the dates that I took the photos.

Topcon R III.
Kilfitt Makro-Kilar D 4cm f2.8.
Efke KB100.

Horizon 202.
Film Photography Project Dracula 35.

Any of the Kilfit macros are highly desirable lenses. Most were in Exakta mount which will fit the Topcon cameras.

Lichtenstein's finest photographic equipment!

The secret to my gear bag is that I'm acquaintances with a few people who sell used equipment but prefer to focus on the user end of the market. Think AE-1s, Spotmatics, FMs — things that are reliable sellers but don't command the same prices as say a Leica. Every now and then somebody drops off something odd as part of a larger lot of regular gear, but since they don't target collectors they usually can't ask for the same prices you'd see online.

Wow. Part of me wants to meet those people, and another part is really glad I don't know them.

More from the barn series I took in Kentucky. Kodak Techpan @ ISO25 processed in Kodak Technidol

Going inside an old abandoned barn in Kentucky during the summer is downright scary let alone setting up to take the shot . . .

Where did you even find Technidol?

At a Ritz camera discount bin many years ago now. They have no listed expiration date either.

Olympus 35SP. Ilford HP4+. LC29. Epson V550. Because I haven't touched the camera in two years I couldn't remember if it was HP4 or HP5 so there was a lot of bracketing.

BW400CN, a C41 black and white film, but processed not with C41 chemicals but B&W (Rodinal).

drmoss_ca used to post about developing Ilford XP2 Super, another C41 black & white, using standard black & white chemistry. He eventually had an article up on Ilford's site, if you're curious to see a few other options.

I have a weakness for sailing ships, and that looks so cool in b&w.
