The last thing I developed isn’t the last thing I shot.

It was:
Meopta Flexaret VII
Very expired Plus-X (2011)
Shot last weekend at EI80 with a yellow filter.
Rodinal 1:50 13min at 20C

The last thing I shot was:
Nikon F, Tokina EL 28/2.8
Rollei Retro 80S at box speed with yellow filter.
It was a fairly unscientific lens test and it will be developed sometime in the next few days also in Rodinal 1:50.

I looked lout my 1968 bought MAMIYA PRESS Super 23 and loaded with a roll of Feb. 2007 dated Ilford XP2 400 Super of which I have 3 rolls left in fridge and took a series of 'Still-Lifes' on our black shiny kitchen table using the camera 'Swing Back' then processed in well-used C41 for 5 mins @ 100oF as it was 'well-used' and got 10 great negs!

Took a couple exposures with a Baby Brownie (little bakelite box in 127 4x6), on long-expired Kodacolor-X (will be processed as B&W, since C-22 is expensive and 6-12 months lead to process as color). Got several more rolls of this film...

Nikon F3HP w/35mm F1.4 Nikkor, loaded with HP5+, this am, photographing the consequences of COVID 19. I'll shoot a few more rolls over the next week or so, then process the lot in - most likely - ID-11.

Nikon F6, loaded with E100G, alternating through a couple of Nikkor primes (28mm F2, 50mm 1.2, 85mm 1.4, and a 180mm F2.8 ED), photographing the colors of spring. Currently accumulating E6 in my deep-freeze; collection of 35mm and 120 formats will head off to The Lab, here in Vancouver, in a few weeks (fingers are crossed) when "normal" business hours return.

Been shooting some Orwo UN54+ lately; One roll in a Pentax SV with a Yashinon 50/1.7 & orange filter and two in a Minolta XK & Tamron 28-80 zoom with yellow filter.
All to be developed this week in HC-110 dilution D.

Two weeks ago I shot some Efke ORT-25 in the Leica M3 & collapsible Summicron 50/2 w/ yellow filter. That may take a bath in a test run of Caffenol LC (I'm new to Caffenol).

Yesterday, I took some cat portraits by way of testing the new (to me) 250mm f/4.5 Sekor lens I just got for my RB67. I had .EDU Ultra 100 loaded in the 6x4.5 film back. Not processed yet...

I've been shooting some Harman ASA 100 BW in my new to me Contax IIa with the iconic f1.5 50mm Sonnar. Such a beautiful camera, truly a piece of industrial art. Zeiss Ikon did some lovely work, note also the Contessa 35, an example of which I am also the custodian. Some cameras, the above plus the Voigtlander Vitessa folder, and various Retinas, put to shame the current plastic fantastics, at least in terms of visual and tactile pleasure. I might also add the Canon P, the Nikon S2, the Bronica S2, the Pentax Spotmatics, the AsahiFlex IIa, and other glass and metal masterpieces. Of course, YMMV.

A few days ago, Tri-X @ 400 ASA processed in Pyrocat-HD for 15min/20°C, Hasselblad 500C/M with a S-Planar 120 mm (+bellows) in natural light on a tripod.
I scanned the neg's as I don't want to spill the precious water for wet printing...

I've just finished processing a cartridge of Kodak Advantix 200( Exp. 2003) which I' have shot with my trustworthy Canon IX and EF 50mm f/1.8 MKII (my sole Canon lens).
It was developed "normally" in my 11 months old batch of Unicolor C-41 which still has life in it.

Edit: I got lovely images scanned as B/W.​

Sadly I haven't shot anything for nearly four months because my wife and I have been on lockdown, we, are both over seventy we are, on the particularly vulnerable list and can't see any prospect of getting out of the house in the near future As much as I love photography I don't want to risk my life for it.

I sneaked a strip of HP5+ in tank, from "Maui Jim", my first pinhole camera made from spouse's Mauii Jim sunglass cardboard packaging - Maui Jim worked, even with the panic repeat exposure. Funny stuff, made my day!
