And not just the sky. There's a stain running down near the right edge. I'd go with insufficient remjet removal.  Definitely bad film.  What a shame..great picture otherwise.

 

thanks, Trev.  Yup, the schmootz (brown'ish veins) also can be seen in the water and sand.  

This quite possibly could be a framable image, otherwise...

What a pisser...

When using a yellow/orange filter would you adjust the exposure by say -1 stop or leave the exposure at norm???

A standard medium yellow filter will have a 2x exposure factor which requires an extra full stop of light.

An orange filter requires an additional 1 and 1/3 stop (or 1/3 stop more than the medium yellow)

Well I dodged the bullet again this morning. Last night I got a call from the model to say that she had to work today so she wouldn't be able to join me for a photo shoot. I told my wife that instead of shooting the model we could go to the morocrana palace in Putrajaya and shoot that during sunrise. 

So off we popped with 2 backs loaded with film and spare film in the bag. I shot the first roll of B&W and went to change over to a color film so rewound the film and opened up the back to find it was empty...........what a frigging wally.........just as well the model canceled, imagine how that would of looked, put your hands there, bend your knees a bit, oh yes i like that pose then 12 shots later showing the model an empty film back and telling her to do it all again :( :( :(

Question

Is there a way to tell if the film back has film in it or is empty???

 

Neil. The handbook shows a window on the film back. If film is loaded you should see the frame number in it.

Medium yellow: -1 f stop, orange -2 f stops. So an Iso 400 Film will be exposed like a 100 with a orange filter.

Neil, 

 

If you aren't sure, you could measure your subject with a hand-held light meter, then measure the same

again but this time through your filter...

 

Keep in mind that the sensitivity of different films are not equal across the spectrum of visible light. So

the effect of one filter may differ slightly depending on the film used, though I do believe that the

commonly used Kodak and Ilford films behave rather similar.

PS. The individual light conditions and -colour obviously also play a large role.

Henry and Hepcat - I think that you are not looking close enough at my image.  The schmootz is not just in the clouds, but it is ALL OVER the image.  Just look at the sand and you will see color variations in the yellow-orange range.  This has nothing to do with the light and everything o do with the particular batch of film.   

I am still up to my eyeballs with scanning my rolls and want to finish with all of the Cinestill 50s before making any definitive conclusions.  But so far I have scanned 5 rolls of this film and only one has anything even closely resembling this yellowish/brown blotches and bubbles.  

Henry - the images that you posted do not present the same issue that mine or Mark's do.  It is a completely different issue.  

Schmootz is schmootz...

Eventually I will be sending a note to Cinestill.  But I am off to London tomorrow for the week and will likely be delayed...

Adam,

 

I really like how Cinestill 50 renders, so let's hope your "Schmootz" (What a word!)  is a one-off occurrence, whatever the root-cause may be.

Here is the link to the manufacturer of your filters:

 

http://www.schneiderkreuznach.com/en/photo-imaging/product-field/b-w-fotofilter/products/filtertypes/black-and-white-filters/040-orange-550/

 

If you click on "filter Factor" below the text, a pdf will open up and show the factors and compensation stops.

"Blendenwerte" means F-stops.

 

B+W are the letters from the former brand name "Biermann & Weber", before they were bought by Schneider Kreuznach.

So it doesn't mean "Black and White"...  ;-)

Confused now. I'm sure that through the window you're seeing the backing paper in order to view the number.?

Old Nikon FM, Sigma AF 28-70/ 2.8 (sold...  ;-)   ), Superia 200

Not easy to focus with an AF-lens, but it worked. And the old FM's light meter did very well.

I am sure she will love it!!!!!!!

best regards

I just did and I have to tell you...the scan just doesn't do it justice! The print is amazing. Taking a picture of it really doesn't convey it either but I did it anyway.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Only compensate if you are using an external exposure meter. Your M6TTL measures through the lens (and filter) , so the filter factor is compensated for automatically.

I'm not sure whether you are using a measuring finder on your Hasselblad, in that case the same applies.
