Buying from Svema

[htmlguru4242]

Here is a quick & dirty test negative of 8x10 Svema 100 on my light table.
Exposed at 2 seconds @ f16 with an IR720 filter.
Developed in Rodinal 1+50 for 13 min. @ 68°F.
My cellphone and my light table don't get along, so please disregard the yellow fringing on the left side of the image.
I made this exposure to test the IR response of the film, and to test for Wood Effect in direct sun and in shade.
I look forward to using an inexpensive IR-sensitive b/w film in 8x10!

Well, that's way more promising that I'd expected. This looks like it was shot in the shade ... what are the results like in direct sun?

I need to throw a few rolls of this into my next order and give this a try. I'm curious what the spectral sensitivity curve looks like, and how deep the IR sensitivity goes!

This might give me an excuse to dust off my spectrosensitometer project and actually get it put together, especially now that I have a 3D printer and can build it as something other than an ugly lash-up

I'm not sure what happened, but I noticed just now that Svema's Instagram is down. When I go to their page, I get "The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed" and their account is greyed out and labelled "Instagram user" in my DMs. I was messaging them this morning and I wonder what happened.

Uh oh, that’s not good.

The first thought that came to my mind was drafting into the army. This is Ukraine and it is quite possible. But I want to say that if I saw a reliable partner in Svema, I would have sold this film in the USA a long time ago.

Первая мысль, которая посетила мою голову, была призывом в армию. Это Украина и вполне возможно. Но хочу сказать, что если бы я увидел в Свэме надежного партнера, то уже давно бы продавал эту пленку в США

Google Translate tells me that this is the same as:
"The first thought that came to my mind was the call to the army. This is Ukraine and it is quite possible. But I want to say that if I saw a reliable partner in Swam, I would have been selling this film in the USA for a long time".
Well we encourage those whose main language isn't English to participate here, we would ask that most of the posting be at least translated to English, so that the majority of our users can appreciate the content.

I'm sorry, there was a very bad internet connection and there was a glitch with the translation

No problem. We appreciate the efforts you make to contribute here in our "mainly English by default" environment.

Got my order awhile ago. Shot a couple rolls of the A-2SH. It's pretty nice. Shot a roll at EI 320, developed in XTOL stock. Here's one of the shots.
