what was the last camera you used, last film and how was it developed

[Theo Sulphate]

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye (flash model)

Freestyle's Arista.EDU Ultra 100 - Developed D-76 1:1, 64 deg. 12:30 min.

I like it.

 

[DannL.]

I like it.

Me too! Call it "De-evolution, returning to a more primitive state".

 

[Hatchetman]

Contax IIa, Tri-X, DD-X. I was shooting a live stage show. I find the rangefinder is a bit small and vague in subdued lighting. The rangefinder in my Leica III is much better but then you have to switch to the viewfinder....problems problems. .

Looking at that, the image seems so ethereal... Maybe that's not quite the right word - the image on the groundglass seems so transitory - which it is.

I used my Wista 45SP and 4x5 HP5+ to photograph a beet juice anthotype, developed it in rodinal, and printed it on my last sheet of the old Agfa Multicontrast Fiber based paper at Grade 5. I needed about a grade 10.

 

[swittmann]

Wayne, that sounds interesting. I would love to try Anthotypes myself. Definitely on my list!

My last films have all been Pentax 6x7, Takumar 2.4/105mm, TriX in Spur HRX. One film is just washing as I am typing this.

 

[Wayne]

Its quite fun. I found it interesting to arrange things. Definitely gives new meaning to the word "composition". Best wait till summer now, as exposures this time of year could take weeks or longer in northern latitudes.

Thank you, Wayne.

In my case it's an Olympus XA and Ilford 100. A bit late in life, I've taken up cycling. I gave up smoking last April and replaced it with cycling. I had spent about a year using a stationary bike at home to get ready, then switched to the real thing. I wanted to take some sort of camera along and chose the XA. It fits nicely in a small bag affixed to the top tube. I've begun ranging far and wide and if I see something interesting it's within easy reach. Still have a few frames left on the roll though.

I found that a stationary bike cannot take a corner worth a damn!

When I bicycled in New Zealand for 5 months, I took an XA...wonderful little cameras! I used it for color snapshots to supplement the 4x5 camera (with TMax100) I had also. That was about half my life ago! I am going to have to get a new bike that can haul an 8x10, or perhaps a trailer! Something like this so that I can haul the big tripod (my Ries tripod is 46" long with the head)!

Appropriate name -- fits anyone hauling an 8x10 around! Maybe my 11x14 would fit, too! It has a weight limit of 400 pound, which seems a lot, but in New Zealand there was me at 220 pounds plus up to 80+ pounds of cargo -- probably more that my bike was rated for!

A Zeiss Ikonta 521/A and a roll of Macophot UP64c. Wonderful results:

Scenery not worth a damn either.

Canon Canonet 28 + AgfaPhoto Precisa 100. Camera found on the bottom of a box, just gave a try and... I ended up with nice photos and lots of fun!

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Late 1972 model Nikon F FTn with F-36. Portra 400, rated at ASA 250 (well, on the FTn finder, ASA 160, since it still thinks it has mercury batteries in it). Accurate exposures. Some shots do have a weird overexposure line on the right edge, though. Closing curtain doesn't seem to be closing fully. Since the casting is chipped on both sides, I may just find a better F to get synched to the drive.

Pentax MX, Agfa Copex-Rapid @ 25, developed in Neofin Blue for 16min. @ 20°C, 1 slow inversion @ 3min.

 

[crumpet8]

Testing out a Yashica Lynx 14e I just received in the mail a couple of weeks ago Still shooting that roll so no news on results yet. Nice to be able to shoot inside without flash though!

Rolleiflex, got the shutter and film transport overhauled a while back, now it's work like a charm. So smooth!!! Burning through expired film of unknown history. Got some nice results with some Astia, also shot some black and white with mixed results. One roll must have been stored on the car dash during the summer. Just screwing around with the old film, and trying to clean out the freezer a bit. The big news is that I got a film dryer and that's really helped streamline my film processing. Been working through a back log of film. Of course now I have a big backlog of negative to print, but that will have to wait. I'm headed out to Flag and will definitely bring the Rolleiflex, also loaded three 8x10 holder and have the Kodak 2D ready to go. Won't have a lot of time to Photograph, but should be able to burn through 6 sheets easily enough. I'm afraid this is a working vacation, have to install 2 1280 gal. underground cisterns. Should be fun, going to rent a small excavator to dig the hold and do the trenching for the pipes. Sorry for the ramble.

It is neat to hear about all the different cameras folks are shooting. Keep it up.

Took my RZ67 out yesterday with my new to me 50mm f4.5, and shot a roll of Tri-X at 3200. Developed for 2 hours in Rodinal 1+100 semi-stand, 1 minute of agitation at the beginning followed by 1 inversion every 30 minutes, it turned out quite nice.

 

[benjiboy]

I finished off a roll of Kodak Portra 400 yesterday in a Canon New F1's and I will be sending it to Ag Photographic for processing as soon as I'm able to get to the post office.
