As I see now, there might be some black areas in there, too - sorry for that!

Magpie Mine has a colourful history, a great place to while away a few hours squeezing almost medium format quality out of 35mm film.  Getting close with Rollei RPX25 in Pyro, until you do the same with roll film of course, then you're knocking on the door of 5x4".

So after the tedious discussion on which detergent we use to develop our B&W and get the "real black" you want to see some colour?

 

OK let's see some Ektar:

Man, that's an unhappy face if I ever saw one!!

Keep posting you guys, forget the discussion on black or not.

Gary, we begin to know each on this thread dedicated to the film ... I like Cuthbert and Adam ... I do not know if they leave us it will be a big loss......  so I like to stay as good friends with these worthy gentlemen :) ..and photo enthusiasts.

 

That said, the black obtained on paper (Ilford here) that I have at home photo lab through the enlarger is still different from what we get by the scanner (for my posts here) .

I have a unit for measuring the light of the enlarger and according to each photo, the exposure time may change.

Sometimes, simply in 1/10 seconds for changing the black . The time of revelation can also affect the black (eg deep or medium)

I have a lot of fun to adjust (if you want more or less black and gray) on photographic paper.

The film has not yet finished to amaze me.

Best

Dear all,

 

For your interest: If you have time in the coming months, and you visit Den Haag in the Netherlands, then it may be worth your while to see the Foto-exhibitions of Anton Corbijn at the Fotomuseum and the Gemeente Museum (which is situated next to it). 

 

Here an impression of the entrance to the exhibition at the Gemeente Museum...

Great shot Christoph. It's my adopted hometown. I intend to visit the exhibition soon and was happy it had been extended. I went to Corbijn's book signing a few weeks ago. He looks very different from what I had imagined.

As promised here some pictures of development work last night. I worked with great pleasure until 3 am, without realizing the late hour.
Ilford "glossy" paper (for more sharpness)  in 18 x 24 cms, developer and fixer Film Ilford . I plan to make the biggest enlargements for an order of the family (gift) 
:)

Sorry Steve I don't have flatbed scan

I've another confession to make, this pic has evidently taken with a very wide lens, in this case a legendary one, the DDR Flektogon 20 mm f2.8, I thought it was a M42 lens but when it arrived I found out it was for a Praktica bayonet, so I hunted down a decent body, here in the UK they go for dirty cheap, even £10 or less, I settled down with a Jenaflex that is a rebadged BC-1. I found out these DDR lenses give the most astonishing colour without warming filters ( I usually use them for colour pics) and I am assembling a small kit:

Does anybody know if they also make something similar in L39 mount? I would like to get a lens for my Leicas that gives this kind of performance, the Flek is not razor sharp but it is amazing because it has no distortion, and the Pancolar 50 mm f1.4 is one of the best f1.4 I've ever tried. Other two samples:

Flek wide open, I felt I was getting SUCKED inside the rose.

Pancolar...perhaps I should have focused on the central flower but I felt I was getting "creative".

 

Now, anybody has experience with the CZJ Sonnar 1.5 or 2.0  in L39?

Cuthbert; the light reflection from the window in front is responsible for this light gray

The picture at right (photo 2) is almost correct.

I have another pictures ...  I forget in developper and it's really black- black  :D

Yes your last picture is really black and nice too !
