Any idea how much magnification you get from this set up?

Tri-X 400 pushed to 6400 and developed in Xtol 1:1

220 Agfa Optima 400

Disappointed with the results but could be due to its expired status. Magenta cast is apparent.

Haha! You're not hipster enough! That's IN these days!

All my Optimas were in desolate shape, the most apparent colors were red and blue. Very odd.

Roger Cole · May 21, 2015

Hum. I have some Optima frozen since new (according to the guy I bought it from off eBay anyway) except for transit time to me. I didn't notice any magenta cast or any other problems in the last I shot, but I suppose I do need to be shooting it up. It was a nice film. But Ultra 50 and Portrait 160 were the ones I'd really like to have back, at opposite ends of the saturation spectrum, as there's nothing really like either now. Ektar is pretty saturated but not nearly as over the top as Ultra 50 and there's just nothing like the pastel Portrait 160.

Oh, I loved my Ultra 50!

It was something else, wasn't it?

Those two rolls I had were just great, those deep blues, slightly gritty and grainy feel, though that may have been because they were long overdue. I loved it.

Sorry for your loss.

But it looks to me more like a film loading disaster.

anfenglin · May 28, 2015

Yep, looks like you had some light leaks loading or unloading the film. Been there, done that. Always, always, load and unload the film in the shade of your body or something!

macfred · May 28, 2015

There are problems reported about loose or slack rolls with the GA645 - series.
Use your thumb on the film when loading to make sure the film starts tight on the take-up spool.
The manual shows how to tension the film and load it carefully to prevent those problems.
At last, make sure that both spools are seated properly before closing the back.

I know the problem very well :

gzhuang · May 28, 2015

I understand that spooling expired film can be frustrating with the counter stuck at 1.

Returning this thread back to it's subject heading, I just bought a close up kit for my Fuji GA645. I'll get it in hand over the weekend and look forward to experimenting with it.
