Shot and processed my first test roll of 65mm Kodak Vision3 250d in my old Rollei. Believe the blue tint is due to it being cross processed in C41 chemistry instead of ECN-II. Going to develop my next batch in RA-4 paper developer to see if that helps much. It uses the same developer as ECN-II.

A quick test roll through one of the F bodies that I recently acquired. Seems to work fine, but it's still going in for repair work. Roll was Ektar 100. Processed in C-41 chemicals and scanned by Kenmore Camera earlier today, just before a snowstorm hit.



Lens was a 50/2 Nikkor-H. Meter used was a Photomic T finder. Pretty well-exposed for 1965 technology. No centerweight bias, spotmetering, or matrix metering. Just a simple averaging meter pattern.

I'm going to Rotterdam with the family for 3 days and I'm bringing my Leica M7 with 35/2 Summicron lens. Also a pinhole camera: Ondu 6x6.
And a stash of film, obviously ...
 
... an old Kodak Baby Brownie (Rerapan 100, 127 )...

I just had the Rerapan commercially processed. Overall, I like the results, but I notice shadow areas look mottled. Interestingly, expanses of dark grass look like a dirt field due to the contrast. Some of my shots were on a foggy day, so lighting added to the effect.

I'm curious about the mottled look. Prior to exposure, the film was in my refrigerator for maybe 9 months (and one B&W and one color are still there). I don't know how long the film had been sitting before I bought it, though.
 
I shot and processed a test roll of Pan-F using a Minolta XG-7 the school has. Was able to test both the camera and a dodgy bulk loader at the same time.
 
OM10 +50/1.4, full auto, AgfaVista 200 @200,
developed in some Tetenal colour developer that's been sitting under the sink for about 18 months (seems fine).
didn't watch the temp or time too closely but it was pretty close to 100F and 3m30s.
My Tetenal blix went bad and was dumped ages ago, and I couldn't be bothered to make a ferri bleach today so I just developed & stopped, and then fixed with ordinary rapid fix. So basically a bleach bypass.
All looks a bit brown, but we'll see when I scan it. Only a test roll after all.
 
Nikon F2AS w/50mm F1.4 Ais, Tri-X@ EI 200. Into the deepfreezer for a bit: Accumulating a few rolls and then awaiting a rainy Sunday to process the lot.
 
Last night/early this morning before bed I developed a couple rolls I shot through my new Folding Pocket Kodak, c. 1898. I shot a roll of Tri-X 400 and a roll of T-MAX 400, both at 400 and developed in Rodinal 50+1. Here's one of the test shots from the Tri-X roll. A bit of a crop because seeing through the viewfinder to compose is nearly impossible indoors. I was pleasantly surprised for a 119 year old camera.

Photographing the Spring colors, I finished a roll of Ektar 100 in my FE2 using my 35-135/3.5 and my 180/2.8 AIS:

Now using my Polaroid SLR690 with the first of three remaining Polaroid 600 film packs.
 
I just bought an Arax 88 and put a test roll of tri-x through it. Going to develop it in HC110 in a little bit.
 
I photographed an abandoned crushing machine in the woods in Redwood, Mississippi. The light was mellow and even. Rolleiflex 3.5E Xenotar, 1 sec at f/11. Panatomix-X film developed in Xtol, scanned on a Minolta ScanMulti scanner at 2820 dpi. Sorry, this file does not do justice to the original scan. Worse news: only 1 brick of Panatomic-X 120 left in my freezer.

Bronica SQA, 6x6 back, 50/3.5
Managed to find a not grotesquely expensive replacement for my exploded SQB body the other day.
Stuck a back on it, but couldn't remember what was in the back - could either have been Acros or HP5+
As I shoot Acros at 200 anyway and HP5 can easily stand a stop over, I shot it at 200.
Turns out it was HP5 so I sloshed it around in D23 1+1 for 11 minutes.
Looked OK wet, maybe a bit contrasty.

Now it turns out both my backs have exploded too. FFS!
I'm never going to buy another fecking camera.
I'll use what I've got now until they all die, then I'll take up carving pieces of cheese into miniature figures of famous photographers.

Nice, what kind of car is that ?

Today in celebration of Pinhole Day I shot my Titan 810 with Delta 100, processed in vintage BTZS tubes with Pyrocat HD. The Titan is fun and produces great images.

Test roll in new (to me) Pentax body with generic green box Fuji 200. Lab processing, develop only, no cut. Scanned on KM scanner.
 
A first test roll of 135 Fuji Provia 400X in a new to me Canon F1n, it was processed at Ag Photographic, the meter accuracy , evenness of the exposure and frame spacing are fine there were no scratches on the film and Ag's processing as ever is faultless. I shot the whole film with a Canon FDn 50mm f1.4 lens I must have had for thirty years and the sharpness, and colour rendition this optic can produce on my light box can still surprise me even after all this time.

I shot a roll of HP5+ in my new Exakta (Varex) VX with a Biotar 2/58 red T, developed in Caffenol-C-H, scanned with my trusty V800.
All speeds are even, the curtains are good, all is well. This being a camera made in the fifties in East Germany, the results are not bad at all.
 
Just got back from 2 week cruise. Shot 8 rolls of HP 5+ with Voigtlander Bessa RF folder. Will process later this week with Ilford DD-X.
 
Mu last camera and film was my 2002 bought Hasselblad 501CM + 50mm f4 CFi Distagon T* + 02/2005 Ilford Delta 100 in London and I processed in my 'Home-Made' Microphen Formula 1+1 9 mins @ 20oC as i find the time given by Ilford is too long. I have uploaded some pics into the Hasselblad Group and my Hasselblad album
 
My last roll was taken last week with a Hasselblad 500 c/m with an 80mm and 180mm lenses using Ilford FP4. Developed in Diafine. Still waiting to get proofed or scanned.

Before that it was Ilford HP5 with a Konica Hexar.
 
Had a roll of Adox Silvermax I wanted to test, so I had a walk with my F90 with my "new" 28-85 AF. Developed it in Rodinal 1+50, but I'm not so enthusiastic of what I see. I hope by printing in the darkroom the results will be better.
