What films did you shoot most recently? (Part 2)

[dynachrome]

Yesterday I shot CVS (Fuji) 400 in a Nikon N2000.

More lovely XP2 for me.

This week it was homemade dry-plates in 8x10. In a couple days and weather permitting I hope to produce some plates in 5x7 for another camera. I still have a gob of dry-plates that I made for half-pate & 5x4 that I need to burn through. I have yet to try indoor still-life using these, something I wanted to do for quite a while now. Ultimately I would like to try my hand printing these on hand-coated paper.

You're right, I could have easily searched with Google and looked at the massive dev chart, but while I was here, I thought it'd be interesting to hear other users' experiences, since I think that Apug is a community full of incredibly experienced and talented film photographers.

I've used Fomapan 200 in 35mm roll film, shot in low contrast lighting I exposed at EI 200 (in normal contrast EI 160, and high contrast 100).

The low contrast neg received HC-110 Dilution H, for 14 minutes, which was probably about 2 minutes too much. I would recommend 12 minutes.

For normal contrast I developed for 10 minutes using Dilution H, and high contrast 8 minutes. I normally don't cut development short for high contrast scenes, but the Foma films build contrast so quickly that highlights are quickly blocked up if proper care is not taken.

Hope that helps. It's a wonderful film with great texture, beautiful tonality, and a nice grain.

I'm using a lot of GP3 at the moment, and I shot another roll today in a Horseman 6x7 back on my 4x5 ZeroImage
I'm not sure I will buy more. It's good stuff, prints well, has nice grain, but the curl makes it almost impossible for me to handle without damaging it; Contacting it is almost beyond my patience

I shot my first few sheets of Ektar and waiting for it to stop snowing so I can stop plowing and shoveling (3 days now) and develop them!

I also shot some FP100C.

 

[StoneNYC]

Shot some Acros100 in my new 6x12 pano back today for the "transportation MSA" just 3 "bracketed" exposures, so I'll have to shoot something else. I hardly ever bracket anything ESPECIALLY Acros100 in LF $$$ but since it's 120 and it was a long exposure with light I'm not familiar with, I decided it would be interesting to get both the shadows in one shot and the subdued highlights from another to see how both would look.

Developing this weekend yes!

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, this kind of detailed and insightful reply is exactly what I was looking for

I sympathise Rod-felt the same way when I shot my last roll of APX 25 in 2001. BTW where in Derbyshire are you? Used to live in Hartington so know it well!

Just finished 150ft of Ilford P4 Surveillance films. Now ready to shoot TMAX 400, Arista Premium (Tri-X), and Agfa APX 100.

 

[BradleyK]

Spent the morning and early afternoon out hiking/wandering around in the snow and shot some five rolls of 120 FP4 Plus (as well as a roll of TMax 100 of unknown vintage found this am in my camera bag) with the Blad. Finished the off the day (sun was close to setting around 4 pm) shooting a sleigh ride with a part roll of PanF Plus loaded in my F4e and, later, two rolls of Tri-X (with the same) of a pick-up hockey game on a "rink" created at Pyramid Lake, up behind the town site. All-in-all, not a bad effort. Tomorrow, out come the snowshoes as a group of us trek the Pyramid Bench network in the morning; later in the day it's down the Icefields Parkway. Most likely, FP4 Plus for the Blad, and some E100G for either the F4e or the F2AS...

 

[baachitraka]

RPX 400 in 120 and ORWO UN54 both developed in Barry Thornton 2 Bath for 4:45 and 3:30 mins respectively.

 

[Regular Rod]

Holy crap! I shot three 4x5 sheets of TMY-2 and two 4x5 sheets of Porta400 and I thought I was shooting too much!

You just blew through what I shoot in a quarter of a year in just one day!

 

[Newt_on_Swings]

4 sheets plus-x 4x5. Its a bit old so i am still zeroing in on the best ei to use and developer combo that will minimize any age fog. Have only had a chance to shoot after sunset with street lights, but i will be testing it indoors with flash for some portraits tomorrow.

 

[effae]

Trying out a roll of delta3200, hoping these will turn out okay!

I trust you have never been to the Canadian Rockies, Stone?!? Outside of Vancouver, they must surely rate as one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Insofar as film consumption goes, that can be attributed to a couple of factors:1). Travel on snowshoes; 2). Lots of coffee; 3). A week to shoot (read:impetus); and 4). Rapidly changing light conditions (one of the few times that I ever "bracketed"/re-shot on black and white film.
