Finished the expired film pack of Tri-X, Rated at ISO25, and processed it in PaRodinal in a Doran Tank at 100:1

A couple had serious light leak issues, but a couple managed to come out.

I processed some film out of a Tri-X film pack I bought online for my new 2x3 Crown Graphic in DIY PaRodinal Rated at ISO100

The pack had 15 shots left, #2 was ruined, because someone opened the dark slide.
#3 was ruined as i tried to figure out how to unload the pack and it dropped on the floor in the dark.
#4 was ruined as well, and I don't know why.

However the first shot, that someone took many many years ago survived.

Shot #5 survived, and I got a hummingbird, but I was focusing with a chunk of plastic hed by hand inside the roll film holder rails, LOL

2017-05-06-0002b by 45 Mike Anderson, on Flickr

# 6 and #7 were processed in D-76 and though they survived, they are just bad shots

I just finished off the film pack today, and will process with a slightly higher concentration of PaRodinal, also, I exposed these last shots at ISO25 or so.

At the moment, it's running an Ektar 105mm f:3.7, in a Graphic Flash Supermatic shutter.
I like the lens and detest this shutter. It has no self timer and no release cable port. It has the silly kodak two prong flash contact.

I think it will likely be swapped to a 127mm or a 135mm.
I have a Symmar 135/235 and a 150/275 that I could swap into a compur shutter.

The 127 I have would work, it just needs me to do a cleaning on the shutter, as it's greasy slow.

Anyone have a gg mech with hood sitting around they want to rehome??
This Crown, came with the roll holder, but no focus screen.

A few more from Lubitel 166B, UFX 100 120 roll, souped in parodinal, 4ml in a 20oz gatorade bottle. I dunno what dilution to call that. 1 hour semi stand.
Got a light leak, think I got it fixed now. It looks like some fog in this shot, so I cropped it to look like low flying cloud.

Racks, used self timer on tripod, and the light failed, and the shadows died about the time the shutter fired.

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.

A couple shots from the first roll UFX400, with the Voigtlander Brillant that my buddy gave me last year.
The film advance did not work correctly, so I stripped the shutter and lens out, cleaned them up, and stuck the shutter on a lensboard for my B&J 2x3 press. Anyways I decided I really should at least try it, and so I remounted the lens into the Brillant. I really goofed.
After I cleaned the lens and shutter, I assembled the outer lens to the wrong thread. This did not matter, in the least with the press camera, as focus is by rack/rail through the ground glass.

When I mounted the shutter back into the Brillant, the focus was way way off, and I did not notice the problem until I actually scanned that first roll. Only a couple shots were anywhere close to focus, and only because DOF pulled me outta trouble.

Of course, i did NOT scan that roll, until after I rolled a color ISO400 135 on a 120 spool with paper, and shot THAT, with the bad focus as well.
Most of that roll was shot at f:16 or 22, and it's possible I managed to get some actual images worth keeping. BTW, this Brillant is well suited for shooting 135 on a 120 spool, with paper, I have determined that I can easily get 16 shots. The counter works, it does not stop on a frame. I run the 135 film from frame 12 two more frames out, and two frames before #1, mark the paper with frame stops for the new #1 and #2. Start the frame counter at the new #1. Run 12 frames, and then reset the counter and snap off 4 more. YAY 16 shots.

Anyways, here is a double exposure, intentional, that kinda works:

And this is a close shot, that managed to work, because the focus was so close, and DOF saved me

Fixed the worst light leaks in my Rollex 120 film holder and shot a test roll of Ultrafine extreme 100, in my Voigtlander Avus 6x9, souped in d-76.
The wolf skull shotz were set up with the ground glass, the truck and landscape were both done with the sport finder wire frame.

I bought 200 sheets of Ilford glossy #3 5x7 sheets a couple years ago, so that is what I am using.
I have less than 100 left. :-)

Yes, the preflash does tame the contrast, and I also use d-76 instead of paper developer to process.
My preflash is usually 4 stops down, and I rate the paper at ISO 12 which is about a stop underexposed.
But what i found was that using the preflash means exposing for highlights, like slide film, not exposing for shadows like negative film.

I was really hoping that using flash could allow some more accurate exposures, and easier people and pets photos.
But, unless i can get a flash with an ISO GN of about 4000, (LOL), this looks like a dead end.

I might try to use flash BULBS, someday, but i don't have any.

Soo, , a couple years ago, I started using paper negatives, they are fun to use, once I figured out how to get good exposures, and worked within the limits of that process.


I tried a couple times, to use a flash to light a subject, or as a fill light, and failed utterly. It's like the flash was not even close to lighting anything. It was weird. Kinda spooky that so much light was not even close to enough light.

I mean have you SEEN the amount of light that a flash unit puts out?? It's blinding.


So today, being somewhat bored, I decided to find out why the flash was not working on paper negatives, and found out something that is still baffling, but kinda makes sense.


First, for people who understand a bit about flash photography, I have a flash unit with a nominal GN of about 85 feet @ISO100.

The experiments I did today, demonstrate that flash unit using ISO 12 paper, has a GN of 56 INCHES!

Which means that at f:5.6, that flash has to be 10 inches from the subject.

Using calculations, that flash should expose ISO12 at f:5.6 closer to 5 FEET!


This can only be caused by reverse reciprocity failure.

Normally with film, if the light is really dim, we would need to use a long exposure time, and the longer the time, the MORE time is needed. So, if a calculated exposure is 4 seconds, we would really need closer to 8 or 10 seconds.


Using the paper negatives The problem is the reverse, as exposure is shortened, the amount of light must be increased. And, because the only control of exposure for flash, is the aperture and distance from subject, that means a GN can be calculated for any ISO, (normally)

The flash burst is very bright and powerful, BUT also it's SO short of a time, that the paper does not have time to react to all that light. Reciprocity failure.


Anyways, I did the experiments and found out how to shoot, using flash, and basically, unless i am doing macro or micro, flash is just not gonna be a thing.

That Rokinon 650-1300 zoom has a minimum focus distance measured in yards not inches. The nominal subject was a walnut. I did not actually take that photo, the actual photo was of the lens being shown in an impossible configuration.
