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

[beakhammer]

I shoot a lot of Ektar and Portra, but lately have been really jazzed about Fuji Pro 400H.

 

[LeftCoastKid]

Five rolls and a few frames of FP4+, and almost two rolls of E100G (PB 01/14, but kept at -28 since 06/12) with one of my Hasselblad 500c/ms. Out the door in 15 minutes or so (Heading up 99: Grouse? Lynn Valley? Squamish?? ) with the same equipment (a pair of 500 c/m bodies, along with the 50, 100, 180 and 250 mm lenses, four A-12 backs, six rolls of E100G, and four FP4+ (last four of PB 11/16, before I switch to some fresh PanF+, for a bit). Anxious for some TMax 100 - as many others here would seem to be - but may give the Delta 100 a go, if the delay continues much longer.

other than my usual FP4+ through my Lomo Belair, I put four rolls of some very outdated Maco 820c IR Aura through the Rolleiflex. Processing forthwith, images to follow, if they're any good.

Fomapan 200 and Ultrafine Extreme 400 - 135 format in the Canon EOS3. Continuing on with my portrait project.

Finished a roll of Rollei 25 RPX today and started another. Got a tank full to run tomorrow

Had my brothers wedding last saturday, shot five rolls of Portra 400, a roll of Fuji 400H, a roll of Ektar 25, a roll of AgaPhoto Precisa CT100 (Provia) and a roll of Kodachrome 64 (put back into the freezer for future reasons..)

19 Foma400+092 filter

Hi Ned,

You used Foma 400 for infrared? How did the results came out, how long were the exposure times?

Hi Ned,

You used Foma 400 for infrared? How did the results came out, how long were the exposure times?

Results perfect. Astonishingly good grayscale.

It is near-infrared, just as SFX200. I love the Ilford film but arista 400 in bulk comes down to being 400% cheaper per 36 exposure roll. 2$ per roll is hard to beat.

There was a thread not long ago with a lot of folks saying that bulk loading wasn't worth it. I can't believe the BS that we have to deal with on the internet.

About foma/arista400, I set it at iso 200 and let the Leica camera meter through the 092 filter. There is a 4 to 5 stop difference, depending on the colors of the scene.

The filter is a 20-40x factor, which makes it a safe 5 stops.

Just finished up a roll of Lucky 400 in my now deceased K1000. Loaded up some Plus-x in the Oly Pen EE3 and some expired 160NC in my Canonet. And some Tmax400 in my F3 for serious stuff.

That gives me 5 cameras loaded as of now. Include the M645 with a roll of Ektar 100 that's been there forever and a roll of 135 HP5+ loaded into my Brownie No.2

Yesterday, while wandering the streets on Canada Day: Four rolls of Tri-X and two rolls and a bit (seven frames) of E100VS through a pair of M6 bodies (brought out my full kit, but shot most of the day with just the 28mm Summicron and a 50mm Summilux ASPH.

Started a roll of Tmax100 that was on the darkroom shelf, no idea how old - I'd guess 10 years, it's in a newly acquired Praktina FX.

Working on my portrait project I have been liking to mix the Kentmere 400 film with Fomapan 200 in 35mm size.

Today I shot two of each, making photographs together with my friend Sima, participant number 3 in my project. Processed in ADOX FX-30 1+19 for 20 minutes with agitation for 10s every minute. Seems to work really well, and the negatives print really well without very much darkroom gymnastics.

At the moment, I'm using Impossible film in Spectra format. So far, I'm not getting the good results I got earlier with Impossible 600 or SX-70.

What I'm getting is high contrast with blown highlights and no shadow detail. I'm using a Polaroid Image 1200 camera and, as long as I hold the release down, the film won't eject. This technique lets me get to a place where I can eject the film and immediately keep it in the dark for an hour. At least that's one good thing.

EDIT: After thinking about it, the high contrast, blown highlights, and lack of shadow detail are likely due to my 2-year old refrigerated first-generation Impossible film. Actually, it has a sort of "Three Kings" Ektachrome appearance at times, so it's starting to appeal to me a bit as more artistic than literal.

One discovery I made from these results is that instead of the usual dial that moved a progressively lighter or darker translucent wedge over the photocell (allowing for fine exposure control), the Spectra has a switch that allows for just -2/3, 0, +2/3 compensation. That's it. There is no other granularity. This is explicitly stated in the service manual. Oddly, the service manual touts this as an improvement (well, yeah, it's just a circuit rather than mechanical parts, but bad for the customer).

To me, the Spectra is several steps in the wrong direction compared to earlier Polaroids. Odd that they actually fetch more money.

My other Spectra complaint here:

If I may adjust the topic to "what films are you gonna shoot soon" for one post, a few weeks ago when I got the Jobo and successfully developed a couple of rolls, I ordered an assortment of more esoteric films to try.

1. Kodak Hawkeye Super-color film. I plan on shooting that this weekend.
2. Retro Chrome 160. I plan on trying cross-processing on the Jobo.
3. Vision 3 250D. Yeah, I want to try futzing with the remjet!
4. Kodak 2254 Super-Low. (ISO 1.6 - one dot six) I dunno what the {expletive} I'm gonna shoot with this, but I'm curious!

Five rolls of Delta 100 (first time user, here) up at SFU this am, with the Hasselblad. Shot mainly architectural abstracts as well as few "documentary shots" of the ongoing construction on campus. Man alive, has the place ever changed since I graduated!! Processing will wait: Into the deep-freeze until the fall, and rainy days outnumber the sunny.

Just loaded film for tomorrow's vintage car show :
-Nikon F2 Photomic with Agfa Photo CT Precisa 100

In addition to the Impossible Spectra film mentioned earlier, I'm now using Ektar 100 in one of my F2's with a 105/2.5 pre-AI.

 

[Paul Manuell]

I shoot exclusively with Kodak Portra. The vast majority of the time with the 160, the rest of the time (but only on the very rare occasions I shoot indoors and 160 isn't fast enough) with 400. I expose the 160 at 100, the 400 at 320, both as recommended to me.
Not having the luxury of interchangeable film backs, any shots I take that I think would look good in B&W I get converted on a computer for me.
