2x3 Speed Graphic with a (probably B&L) Tessar (4 3/8" f4.5) with 1 sheet of Fortepan 400 shot with a flash developed in ID11 1:1 for 14.5 minutes in a jobo.
I've been carrying my Welta Weltini (35mm coupled RF folder) for the past couple weeks. Film loaded is .EDU Ultra 400 (aka Fomapan Action 400) -- roll is only about half done, but it'll go in replenished Xtol stock, like all my B&W does at this time.
Old sheet of 11x14 finally processed a couple days ago (survived a year in a film holder quite nicely, amazingly enough). Digitally photographed on light table.
Merced River Canyon, Yosemite National Park, 2020
Chamonix 11x14, Fuji W 360mm. Modified darkslide to get two 5.5x14 images. FP4+ in PyrocatHD (2:2:100 ratio, 74F, 10 minutes in tray).
Light meter read from 9 to 14, exposures were at 11 and 11.5 (about)
One image at f16 at 1/8 sec and the other f22/32 at 1/4 second. The center tree of the less exposed image (1/4 sec) is sharper...a breeze must have moved the center tree on the f/16 exposure.
Will be trying the neg with platinum/palladium printing soon. The negative is not as dense in the highlights as this reproduction suggests.
Yesterday, at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, Leica M6 with 50mm Summicron and #25 red filter shooting Ilford SFX (camera meter set at EI 80), developed last night in XTOL for ISO 200, stock solution, (72ºF for 5:30). The negative look to have good density, will print some tonight. Hoping for some cool infrared vibe.
Two cameras over the weekend -- my RB67 with 50mm and 90mm lens (and the left hand grip -- makes the prism finder so much easier to use!) and my new-to-me Nikkormat FT-2 with a 70-300 Macro AIS-AF zoom (switched to manual mode all around, stop-down metering) -- it was the only Nikon F mount lens I could find quickly.
The RB67 had Fomapan 400 and Fomapan 100; the FT-2 got Superia X-tra 400; both are waiting for processing, but the Fomapan will go in Xtol replenished stock, the Superia in Flexicolor replenished.
Pf130 1-10 68f 5:30 (could possibly use a little more developing time, prints were good at grade 3 under a diffusion enlarger, I prefer to get good straight prints under grade 2, the midtones were not quite to my liking yet)
I shot a couple of rolls of expired (2015) Rollei IR 400 in 120 with my Mamiya C330f. It has been a while since I shot any IR, and the last was Kodak HIE. I developed it in HC110. A couple of shots from the second roll.
Developed in my Paterson System 4 for 3:45 minutes in 21 months old batch of Unicolor. My 1st roll in months, I had almost forgotten how to do it : / (joke loll)
