This week I am shooting with...

It's springtime.

Olympus 35 RC w/Fuji 160 Superia. Taking a few waiting for the crabapple trees to bloom.

The viewfinder on that looks far too precise and high tech

Today I shot with the Century Graphic and a home-made pinhole on the lens board (being WWPD), and also a Weha Chrome Six.

This week I have practiced a new genre: portrait (or at least catching my 20-month-old nephew inside the frame).
When you try this kind of picture, you begin understanding why people like autofocus, and why AF is never too fast.
Anyway the gear thrown to the task are:
Minolta X-700 with Minolta Rokkor 135/3,5 + Fuji Sensia 100 sometime assisted by TTL flash on hot shoe.
Canon Canonet 19 QL III with Fuji Sensia 100.
Voigtlaender Vito CLR with Fuji Superia 1600 exposed at 800. This is my absolute first-time with an ISO 800 film, just to practice photography with ambient light and artificial light.

Besides discovering that children have horror of staying steady somewhere, I also discovered that focusing in ambient and relatively scarce light with a rangefinder is not necessarily easier than with a SLR.

Today, my Helioflex with the broken shutter that I made into a pinhole camera. The rest of this week depends on which camera(s) is/are in my bag at the time.

 

[Wade D]

I'm running some test rolls through my Certo Certix 6x9 this week.

 

[Clockwerk]

Chaika II, having reset the focus ring, testing it with some out-of-date bulk FP4.

 

[Ottrdaemmerung]

Just finished putting a test roll of Legacy Pro 400 (Fuji Neopan) through a Ricoh 500 rangefinder I just bought here. I inadvertently forgot I had 400 speed in it and thought I had 100, so I pulled it in development (Ilfosol 3); and although flat in contrast, they scanned in nicely with just a bump in post. (Sorry, I don't have an enlarger yet, but actively looking!). See my Flickr.

 

[Troy Hamon]

Balda Baldinex, nice little folder I can haul along on flights in a small plane for shooting out the window...haven't developed anything from it yet but am on roll number 4...great fun.

 

[benjiboy]

I'm shooting some portraits of a four year old boy with a Mamiya C330F with Ilford XP2 Plus

 

[bblhed]

The only thing I am shooting that I have planed is a test roll in a Zeiss Ikon 520/2 (with the cheep lens) that my wife's Grandmother lent to me. Nice little folder, I hope it works well, and that I get to keep it if it does.

 

[JohnMeadows]

I have a shoot planned with my Mamiya M645J tomorrow,

 

[benjiboy]

I'm shooting today with my Canon A1 and Kodak Portra 400VC.

 

[benjiboy]

I've been using two Canon T90s today to shoot some portraits of a friends grandchildren aged three and four, because the motor drive will be very useful with kids of that age and I'm using Kodak portra 400NC film to enable me to use fast shutter speeds and get good skin tones in sunlight without getting the excessive contrast and colour saturation that some colour neg films give in these conditions.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

July on Moloka'i.

 

[benjiboy]

Today I've been shooting Fuji Neopan 400 in my Canon EF.

Nice camera David, It's a Linhof Super Technica Isn't it ?

 

[DanT]

Trying out Fuji Reala in both my Canon EOS 7 and Fuji GW690III.

 

[guitstik]

A Minox 35 GT with some expired Kodak Tmax 400.

 

[Klainmeister]

Trying out Fuji Reala in both my Canon EOS 7 and Fuji GW690III.

Just shot a roll through my RF and curious to see how it looks. I hear lots of praise for Portra and the Ektar, but Reala is rarely mentioned. Hoping for accurate colors.

 

[2F/2F]

Canon A-1 and 20mm f/2.8.
Nikon D-700 and Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f/1.4

Thanks. Tech V 23b, the last version of the 2x3 Technika. Lenses for the month are the 55/4.5 Apo-Grandagon, 105/2.8 Xenotar, and 180/5.6 Caltar II-N, and I'm shooting Adox 100 and TXP.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Seneca "Black Beauty" whole plate field camera and Voigtlander Heliar 240mm f 4.5. Putting some of my remaining stock of cut-down 8x10 Fomapan 200 through it.

Reala is good too. It has more exposure latitude than Ektar but goes pastel on overexposure, saturates on underexposure. Quite different films, both different from Portra 160 as well (haven't tried 160S yet).

Myself, after shooting a ton of mostly color lately I ran 2x Rollei Retro 400s, 2x Ilford Delta 3200 and 1x Delta 100 through my Canon EOS 10S on the weekend. Just mixed up 600mL of Microphen for the Delta 3200 (still cooling, it's annoying that B&W chems can't be used while hot like colour ) and will get to the slower stuff next.

Oh, and the Canham 14x17 as well. Running FP4+ through that, as it's the only film I have in that size.
