Antonio,

 

I'm using Foma400 quite a bit. Its not as fine grained as Tmax 400 or TriX, but, developed in D76 has a brilliant dark and broody feel to it... Worthwhile stuff to play with. I had tried Kentmere 400 and also Rollei RPX 400, but find them too neutral , bland even, at least for my taste.

I'll order some soon for sure. Also because the price of a 100ft roll of Kentmere is too close to HP5.

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Kind of chilly in Alberobello last Saturday for my wife!

By the way, finally I have been developing HP5 in HC-110 dil B using Ilfotec HC timings: 6.5 mins instead 5 mins for 400 iso and 14 instead of 11 for 1600 iso. I am probably completely wrong, but to me it looks better.

Question for the team: 

 

Do you guys think super low temperatures have any influence over how film behaves and exposes ?

 

I am based in Montreal where it has been pretty cold lately ( -20 with wind gusts down to -38 C ). 

I did some shooting yesterday in those conditions , a bit of in and out. 

Processed the roll at night following my usual routine for this type of film and push. 

I obviously allowed the film to warm up to normal room temperatures for few hours before processing it. 

The roll turned out ok'ish but looked a bit grainer, underexposed at times. Sort of lo fi'ish I would say. 

 

I shot with Summaron 35mm 2.8 lens which on normal days is blade sharp. 

 

Any thoughts on this ?

 

thanks and happy holidays.

Patrick - very timely. I have just been out shooting a couple of rolls of portra 400 in 0 F weather. I doubt there will be any impact a but i was out there for two hours and we shall see!!

SP in winter , it's better you dev at 20°C (not under 20)  and under 22°C

If your developer is too cold , put it in a basin with hot water

need digital thermometer or other

the dev temperature is important and need to keep dev time only during few

minutes

example Kodak TX 400 3 min 30 in Ilfotech HC

 

For the fixer you can work around 20°C , it's less important than developer

but not too cold for the fixer .You  must be careful of  the too big difference

between dev and fixer temperature

Hope I answer your question

Not for sleeping here ,  it's too cold Chris

Nice black and white tone with XP2

so you have resolved your development...finally classical dev ?

or C41 ?

Henry

 

XP2 is definitely continuing in HC-110/L110/Ilfotec HC. Pulling it to 100 or 50 makes for very quick development times and the film has gorgeous tones - none of the harsh contrast you see with EI 400 in C-41.

 

It actually isn't a bed, despite looking like an old-fashioned hospital cot, but a bench for sitting on. But I still see it as a bed every time I pass it. As for cold, we had a windchill of -30ºC yesterday, and Thomas insisted on a walk. I didn't take a camera as it would have been cruel to the mechanics and my fingers.

Cherry harvesting.

Just scanning some old stuff again.

A Fuji F-II, now 35 years old, went out quite as fresh as new.

I was out shooting at -25C with the wind last week and didn't notice any difference when I developed the rolls.  I was out shooting at -37C with the wind this morning, so I'll let you know what those results are like when I get around to developing them, hopefully next week.

Hello Henry,

 

It is the Fujicolor F-II, a 100 ASA negative film. I was a negative guy right from the start. ;)

Used slide film allmost only for my professional work.
