Hi Gary,

 

could be. This is what I try to find out at the moment. But it turns out harder then expected. I have quite some literature here. So for example an Agfa Labor Handbuch from 1970. But even there is no information about the process. I found the name Agfacolor process N in a  info-sheet that came with an Agfacolor 80 S film (the professional version of the CNS I guess). When I exposed this film I was a schoolboy and all films was given to a supermarket to be developed. So I never developed this kind of film. It took me two more years before I started to do C-41 on my own. The Agfa version off C-41 was called AP 70. So could be C22.

 

So if someone has some information about this I would be rather interested. Find it somehow shocking how quickly all this knowledge disappeared. Even in the internet I didn't find some useful information for now.

 

Regards

 

Frank

Thanks Frank.

It was pertinent to me, slightly, as mu first job when I left school was in a new colour lab, the first in our town. It was about 1970. I was sure the process was C-22, and I do recall CNS, as well as the new Fuji films being released. Mind you after a few years in the lab I started in retail and sold new Pentax Spotmatics, and the newly released OM1. I am getting on.

Well, you can't figure out the season from London's weather, can you?

Your impression Sunny ? year of production ?

Henry

 

Year of production was 1973. A desirable soft glow wide open and an especially nice look with portraits. I only shot one color and one B&W film before passing it on. At the time I couldn't justify holding on to it as I had just also acquired a very nice tabbed 1993 50 Summicron to match my 1993 M6 :) . I prefer the ergonomics of tabbed lenses and had concern for the 1 meter minimum focal length but in hindsight should have held on to it. I have not let any other Leica lenses go since and do not plan to do so !

Does anyone know why some of my images become compressed during posting. I am bringing them in at around 400kb and once posted they are sometimes becoming 122kb. This has not been consistent but has been happening every few photo postings or so.

 

My workflow is pretty straight forward, simplistic even - export from Apple Photos app in custom size at approx 1600px width or so (with some trial and error) until I reach an appropriate size as close to 500kb as possible. The curious part is that when I attach files in the post it will show the correct size of the attached file but also next to the 'choose file' it says I can upload more, the sizing is not corresponding to the actual photo size. My last photo was 480kb bringing it in but is now posted at 122.15kb.

 

Apologies if this is not the right thread to ask these questions!

Excellent photograph Wayne.

 

For Henry, Ektar & contre jour.

 

If you have seen movie Shawshank Redemption, you know that it was supposed to be set in Maine. Actually, the movie was shot at Ohio State Prison, now a national landmark/museum in Mansfield, Ohio. As there is still an active prison nearby, Ohio Dept. of Corrections still has active role in administration/security.  This is a shot of the staircase leading from warden residential area to prison facility. Active Ohio Dept. of Corrections officer lends authenticity. I could not help but be impressed, as he walked by, by how well suited he was for the purpose of providing corrective action, when needed.

Can't help too much, "Pop" normally chimes in with a link.

I use no more than 1200 pixels wide, and usually about 250kns or less for the sizing. Either exported from LightRoom, or saved from CS6.

Maybe your 1600 pixels is being reduced automatically.

Thanks Gary,

 

interesting story.

From the chemical point of view I guess it should have been possible to develop CNS in the C22 process since it only has 24°C. The chemicals used are nearly everywhere pretty much the same. The main problem with C-41 is the high temperature. Old Agfa-films can't stand it. Tried an old Agfachrome in E6 and the whole coating was gone.

 

I guess you could even get a result with C-41 developer if you not go over 24 °C (75 °F). Probably it wouldn't be as perfect as with the original process, but usable.

Would be interesting to know if it was officially announced by Agfa that one can use C22 also. In the original Agfa process from my 1970 book there is a special intermediate bath after the developer with even longer time then the developer. This should be necessary to optimize the sensitivity and evenness of development. In this scheme from 1970 20°C are used and it differs from the C22 scheme, but IIRC Agfa later also uses 24°C for the process, so it might have been different from the one in the book. Maybe the went to the Kodak process even before C41? Would be interesting to know.

 

Regards
