Ouroboros Posted December 10, 2022 Share #84461 Posted December 10, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) 7 hours ago, Kl@usW. said: Lovely portrait, Steve. And a very nice background your Heliar supplied. I wonder how the C-Sonnar would have handled that... Thanks, Klaus. I did take my c-sonnar along with the Heliar Classic with the intention of doubling up on some comparison images. I think I only took a couple of shots with the c-sonnar, though! As time has gone on, the better I understand the Heliar Classic. It really comes alive with head and shoulders portraits at f1.5-f2, as does the c-sonnar in it's own way. Where the roll-off is gorgeously predictable at portrait distance with the c-sonnar, the Heliar Classic can be a bit of a hooligan, but it's rendering also frequently pleases me at least equally with the c-sonnar. I've never used a 50mm lens that renders out of focus background textures and features as uniquely as the Heliar Classic is capable of doing. Far more fun to use than the late f1 Noctilux I had a love/hate relationship with . I really like the Heliar Classic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Hicks Mural, St Arnaud 2022 m6ttl, 35mm summaron with yellow filter, adox CHS 100ii I wanted to quote your post, but I have instead "reported" it by mistake. I hope the moderator will take a laugh after reading my "report", which was the following: "All the pictures in this series of CHS 100ii are great. I shot my first roll of this film last week, but I made a mistake as I thought it was a roll of CMS 20 II, rating it at ISO 6. It's time for me to try pulling😅. This summer I shot instead a roll of Adox HR-50. I didn't like it too much, as I got the impression it is not very good at retaining the highlights. I must say the conditions were not easy though: white sand, water, strong light-sun. Still, I didn't have much trouble with other films." I apologise again for the mistake. As you can see, it's a time of the year I get confused quite easily 🤣 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely superb for some situations. I followed the Massive Developer Chart recommendation for processing the roll I had and was concerned at how thin the negatives seemed when they emerged from the tank. It is very grainy for a 100iso film and it seems to like to crush the blacks… but for high contrast subjects it gives a wonderful graphic starkness without really losing the highlights and is satisfyingly dramatic. If I use it some more I’d probably look to overexpose it a bit (though your four stops might be a little extreme!). Perhaps you could stand develop that roll and see what emerges- you might be pleasantly surprised? Anyway please report back on how it works out. And it IS a the silly season where I think we all begin to lose it a bit! Thanks for taking the time to comment (or report!). 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, I tried the CHS 100ii some years back, and it was, in my experience, not a very grainy film; also the crushing of blacks is not something I remember. I cannot find examples now, but from memory it was a well balanced emulsion, with characteristics akin of FP4. Perhaps storage conditions, age of the emulsion or the developer used contributed to the effects you described? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps storage conditions, age of the emulsion or the developer used contributed to the effects you described? Not sure, Christoph. It was in date and I developed for the recommended 8 mins in XTOL 1:1. I was using FP4+ at the same time and developed the films under the same conditions but find the characteristics to be quite different. I'd be interested to hear what Pritam thinks of it once he's returned from his journey, as this was a roll he very kindly gifted me. Don't get me wrong, it's a sweet film, very sharp, but I'm not able to work out on the strength of the one roll what caused those thin negatives... Welcome, dear visitor!
