Following on from watching the excellent Ilford film documentary frame-it linked to here: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/317198-cool-ilford-video/?tab=comments#comment-4122317

I followed the following link to a story by the same production house on a bunch of film shooters in LA preparing for an exhibition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jS2Rr7Qi3M&feature=emb_rel_end

It's well made and I found the varying personalities and approaches quite fascinating.

Oh, and there are quite a few Leica film cameras sneaking into cameo roles along the way.

Looks like you found a great camera there Klaus, congrats :)

With little opportunity to travel and see new places, I changed the approach and  bought a new old camera. Agfa  Isolette iii is a simple folding camera with a 4,5/75 lens. I was pretty sure it would need  a CLA as an immediate measure--but it is working and even the bellow doesn't leak... 

Agfa Isolette III, @ 5,6;  Ilford Pan F expired and damaged ( black dots on the back side of the film, probably sticky paper ), but usable as a test film--( thanks @gbealnzfor the idea ) , Rodinal 1+50

I can imagine that the internet is buckling under the pressure from all those concurrent Zoom lunches :D

Lovely shot John. It has the air of a classic photo.

Wow. I just finished Chernobyl and can feel the radiation all the way here. I have placed my order for a t-shirt btw, size small.

Well this is fantastic, bravo!

I can attest to this being highly contagious as I have the last several weeks not only been looking at medium format folders but also Rolleicords and -flexes. I shall immediately have myself committed.

Rog, the blending of the granular red into the blinding green  hilarious. And the solid red basis seems to  jumps at me..You made my evening. This is phantastic. 

 

 

The CLS  ( acronym by courtesy of @Ernest) is a widely underdiagnosed condition. According to the Manual of Overwhelmed Photographers  ( MOP ) you need at least 3 of 5 symptoms occurring  at least on  three  subsequent days to make a diagnosis:

--hunting for lost negatives 

--compulsively wiping lenses that have already been cleaned  over and over 

-- developing the delusion of needing more lenses and/or cameras

--ordering filters and lens caps for lenses that are unlikely to be used in the next five years

-- going to places and taking the same photo again and again

Since the MOP seems to spread, more symptoms are likely to be observed 

( contributor has to disclose he just bought a very nice Rolleicord  and a Agfa Isolette--the latter of considerable sentimental value ) These aquisitions don't fit into the list of symptoms, since they were absolutely necessary....  ) 😇

Ernest, if you don’t mind me asking, are you posting from a big collection, or are you really burning through an impressive amount of film on a weekly bassis ?

Tim, you too... ? excellent, if not a bit disturbing. ( I don't think that photography shouldn't express the darker sides of, well of life--quite the opposite )

I imagine your bedside lamp is a cyclops watching over you with the assurance there is "no parabens" and "no fragrance."

In 2018, I started concentrating on color field studies with color and texture my main concern and how they interact as Josef Albers and Johannes Itten taught in the Bauhaus. In essence, I have collected a paint box filled with colors and textures that I can use in a number of ways and combinations. I don't know that I would call it a "big collection," but it's pliable. One photograph may have two or three passages that I can use in concert with other color fields or moments. Since my focus is on color and photography itself as the object, there is an abstraction going on here that is open to any number of approaches. I am not photographing the thing in itself but how it's defined by what's there and what's implied. I don't know if this helps, but I usually start with an image (usually in color, but not always) and intuit where it takes me in terms of an allegorical feeling or psychological question. Recently, I have shifted my attention to Diebenkorn's Ocean Park Series, particularly how the margins of compositions work to define a kind of nothingness in color fields devoid of objects. Contemplation pieces, sometimes.

Analog coaxes me to work more slowly; I shoot ADOX Color Implosion, Fuji Natura 1600 (both in short supply), and E100, mainly. Also, ACROS II 100, JCH. In the last two weeks, I shot one roll of ADOX. I guess I'm only shooting one or two rolls a week, maybe less. I'm not very prolific. When my ADOX runs out, I'll try Portra 800 and push it for grain. Velvia sits in the fridge, too.

I guess the short answer, then, is that I don't have a big collection, just enough that is never enough, and shooting a roll a week doesn't help that much.
