stray cat Posted January 27, 2017 Share #26922 Posted January 27, 2017 B&H carry 127, as well as a few other places, it is expensive though. 116 isn't too bad, you need some spacers in the camera for the 120 reels to sit against and you need to unload the camera in a darkroom or changing bag. I love using these old cameras, I try to put a roll through every one I own, no matter how obscure. Porta 400 may be too fast, these cameras were designed to use 32 ASA flm, the slower you use the better the results will be. Thanks Mike, excellent point about the Portra speed. It's all I have in 120 at the moment - I might still load it and use it in less sunny situations than I'd otherwise have done. Could be interesting - I always liked the look of Kodak film - particularly Kodachrome - in situations when there was not much light, for example: The Sahara, 1980 Canon F1, FD 24mm SSC, Kodachrome (I think 25 - this is a way underexposed slide as the light meter was acting wonky for a while there). 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted January 27, 2017 Share #26924 Posted January 27, 2017 I'm wondering if I might have your thoughts on these four framings of the scene? I haven't harmonised the colour between them but just left Adobe Camera Raw at 'as shot'. I had to shoot them in a fairly quick succession because the sun was just about to disappear below the horizon (which it did in the last one). There are 2000dpi scans on Flickr for those who want to grain peep Thank you in advance for your thoughts. P I prefer 3 & 4: to me, the extra expanse of water makes the horizon seem more distant; it has the effect placing me on the water, which is where I would want to be. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look in Europe Fotoimpex dot de offers one 127 film: ( Rollei Rera Pan 100) Macodirect dot de has 100 asa and 400 asa B&W film and a colour slide film for 127.

Doc Henry Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share #26927 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Now for something completely different.... Photography isn't always about pin sharp perfectly exposed images, I recently restored a 101 year old Kodak Brownie to working condition. IMG_0979.JPG I loaded this camera up with some Portra 160 and took it on a trip to Springfield Illinois. The weather that day was not good, it was foggy, but here is the first of 5 photos I took that day with this Centenarian: brownie1 copy.jpg Another photograph from the same day: brownie2 copy.jpg The lens is already low contrast and the fog doesn't help, I'm going to run some black and white film through this camera on a sunny day next. It's a little like pinhole pictures but larger (in principle ?) .Color is still nice Thanks for the demonstration Mike Rg H Edited January 27, 2017 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share #26928 Posted January 27, 2017 This is one of my favourite street photos from Italy. One of those rare moments when I got in close (like Adam ) Taken with Leica M6, 35mm Summicron, Tri-X pushed to 800 (or maybe 1600), HC-110 (dilution H) Img035.jpg Mitch , nice b&w of TX reproducing well the italian atmosphere Thanks for sharing Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share #26929 Posted January 27, 2017 I've only been shooting film for the last 5 or so months, but I'm loving it. The feel, the process, and the look are all part of what makes it so enjoyable for me. Birds. Hyde Park Kodak Portra 400 - Leica 35mm Summilux IMG_0048.JPG Very nice and subtle picture Mike Soft and light color and the little blur add a plus for the picture River Fog. Hyde Park Kodak Portra 400 - Leica 35mm Summilux IMG_0054.JPG I love fog in film and this one is superb Coaster.

Doc Henry Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share #26931 Posted January 27, 2017 Hey Mike, great photos from a seminal photographic apparatus. Now that's really a coincidence, as I was given a Kodak Brownie earlier this month for my birthday - exactly the same as the one I started my photographic journey on more than 50 years ago. It takes 8 6 X 9cm pictures on a roll of 120 film, but you have to either rethread the film onto the slim 620 spools or carve off a bit of the plastic 120 spools then file them to make them round enough and small enough to fit in the camera. Here's a picture from the first roll I've used with it (on Fuji Acros 100): Phil great memories for me this car picture It's Oldsmobile I think Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share #26938 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) That it's ugly that b&w > "artificial" and "cutting" edges and lines , smoothed pixels (pictures of Alex) in comparison with film. "Fully synthetic" image coming from an "electronic machine" or "robot" ! http://www.summilux.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=69102&start=2550 really not artistic in the proper sense of the term ! "Flat" and "no soul" , you watch and you forget after ! Sorry to be frank ! Henry Edited January 27, 2017 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike (nicodemus3d) Posted January 27, 2017 Share #26939 Posted January 27, 2017 Very nice and subtle picture Mike Soft and light color and the little blur add a plus for the picture Thanks Henry. The original is crisp but when I downscaled it on an app on my ipad it softened the image quite a lot. I need to find a way to resize my images on my ipad that doesn't soften everything. I'd rather not have to switch to my computer to upload images. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
