A touch of red for Henry.

Not the usual sports camera, but if Eoin can do it with his SWC, then why not.

500C/M

80 Planar

Ektachrome

Really love this shot. Peak action and the colors are amazing.

Just received my new scanner, Primefilm XE, and practicing with some earlier shots, until I get some new film developed. I like my scans more than those from the lab :)

Edward color is superb , nothing to say :)  specially color and "pores" of skin (pic 2 and 4)

Soft lines of portraits and pleasant to watch !

Your new scanner Primefilm seems good in contrast and definition .

DR 3.9 is good almost 4 (Nikon Coolscan) !

Thanks for posting

Thank you, Henry. I had read that this Agfa film is actually rebranded Superia 400, but it certainly isn't based on the colours I saw (and tweaked in LR). Everything was really warm and red and the saturation of red and orange had to be reduced slightly. I've never seen that with dozens of rolls of Superia.

For what it's worth, I've read it's supposedly Provia 100 which didn't made it through the Fuji quality control. Anyway, it's a very nice film, one of the few E6 left!

That looks like some fine scanner!

More Weird Harold film shenanigans ... 

 
Last Fall, I ordered a new custom-made pinhole 6x6 camera (RealitySoSubtle 6x6) and a 10-pack of Washi 120 film (an orthochromatic emulsion on very thin washi rice paper, ISO 12-25 or so). I've not had a chance to use either until this weekend when I was off to an annual event with friends up on the Mendocino coast. 
 
Of course, I had no experience using the camera or processing the film. :)
 
I exposed at ISO 10 to get a baseline, estimating that based on an f/16 setting on the meter I'd need about 75x more exposure time for the pinhole's f/137. It's an ultra-ultra wide FoV ... about equivalent to 20mm on a 6x6 frame. 
 
Open tray development is recommended for the film ... but I have no facilities for that. It's too thin and fragile for a standard spiral-reel tank. So I bought an old Kodacraft 120 roll-film tank with the apron style separator. Some interesting developers are also recommended for the film, none of which I have either. So I just mixed up my standard soup of HC-110 at 49:1 and used my standard 8 min @ 70°F to see what I'd get. Here are four images out of the 11 exposures I made:

I am pleased that I managed to get four images out of the playing around I did... :D
 
The camera worked very nicely. 
 
The film was very underexposed off the highlights, and most of the highlights were blown out. I think the solution there is more exposure plus longer development time at the same dilution. I'll be doing some more experiments ... :)
 
enjoy!

Very special and nice pictures Rama.

It reminds me a lot old vintage pictures of my grand-fathers :)

The little brownish tint gives a plus for these pictures

Some suppliers think it's actually Sensia.
