I've had a GW690III for a few months already. HAven't shot with it that much, but when I did it delivered beautiful negs and slides.

Does one still have to change the shutter speed or wind the film to close the shutter on "T"? Always thought that was the weirdest thing. I just ended up using the lens cap to end the exposure. Have a lot of fun with it!!

Your Video made me HAPPY and put a SMILE on my face. Have fun....

Yes, this is the case. If I ever need to do long exposure (wich I will) I will end exposure with cap for sure!

Green with envy, been on my want list for a long time. Have fun and great photo, what developer do you use?

Gaetan Cormier · Nov 14, 2014

Hello one90guy,

I mostly use Rodinal. For the photo above I used it at a dilution of 1+25 for 9 minutes @ 20°
I have a box of Perceptol that I want to try out.

Just started using Rodinal, my first attempt was stand developing, 1+200 for 1 hour. Did 2 35mm and 1 120 with mixed results. Was thinking of trying 1+50 or 1+25 next. Thanks for the reply, have a great weekend.

When I stand develop with Rodinal I always go with 1+100.
