Advertisement Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Wayne Posted May 22, 2017 Share #32902 Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) I notice the definition is very fine in your las pictures with Hektor lens This one is another proof ! Thanks Wayne Henry Thank you, Henry. The photo below, taken with same camera, film, lens, is, in my opinion, a testimonial to film and the 73 Hektor. It is an obvious mistake from both framing and focus standpoint; but yet, I am somehow very pleased with how it turned out. It takes me back to my youth: young men and old trucks, they are, and always have been, the stuff of rural USA. Welcome, dear visitor!

EoinC Posted May 22, 2017 Share #32904 Posted May 22, 2017 And in preparation for the Europe trip I am racking my brain trying to work out film stocks to take. Last time (2015) I took all manner of film, T-Max 100, FP4+, Delta 100, and some Tri-X (no colour, used the X-Vario for that. This time I had settled out on Delta 100, and Ektar 100, in both 35mm (for the MP) and 120 (for the SWC). Then the worrying side of me thought 400 would be better, give me more latitude for the focus-guessing in the SWC, and faster speeds all round. But the Tri-X shots I got last time didn't really give me that wow factor, but I'm the first to admit it could be the developer choice too, R09. This is the gritty and downright ugly look I got form a fair chunk of the Tri-X, developed in R09. Gary Hi, Gary. My unsolicited advice is to limit how many film types you take (which you're doing). I think you'll find Tri-X to be fine with your SWC but, if you're not keen on that, perhaps head to T-Max 400. Having a 400 film gives you that extra bit of light environment coverage for the f/4.5 max aperture. Ektar is a great choice for the colour (particularly with your Italian foray), and you can't go far wrong with any of the Delta 100 / T-Max 100 / Neopan Acros 100 films. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Tri-X were the only film on earth I'd be happy. In fact I can see more and more that it might become my only film. OK, maybe with a bit of Portra thrown in.

Phil, film(s) with an "s", it corresponds to as many sensors "each new film is a new sensor" as said one famous photographer ! it costs less, and in addition you can choose according to your taste, isn't wonderful ? In any case this thread teaches us a lot of things about films Best Henry Edited May 22, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackandwhite Posted May 22, 2017 Share #32912 Posted May 22, 2017 Beautiful, Jean-Marie. The print must look even better. Thank You - yes, to me the print looks like ... as if it actually was taken by R.L.Stevenson writing Treasure Island . The River is the Sûre, between Ettelbruck and Diekirch, here in Luxembourg. My dad's old Voigtländer "accordion" cam surprises me everytime I use it. It's Vaskar 4:5 / 105 mm lens is not as perfect as any modern lens. But these cameras do render an athmosphere I miss on contemporary cams. A feeling of space. Here's a picture my wife shot that same day, same walk , with the Rolleiflex. The Voigtländer Bessa really looks strange to young people when they pass by...:-) Welcome, dear visitor!

blackandwhite Posted May 22, 2017 Share #32913 Posted May 22, 2017 I read all of Your comments and become a little confused - amazed by Your pictures. By the way, I read about the 400 Kodak Tri-X - up to now it is my favourite B&W film. I must admit that the Ilford HP 5 plus develloped in Ilford soup instead of the Paranol neo-Rodinal one did give a very very nice result. Next I'll try to devellop the TriX in this Ilford Develloper, to see how it works out. Here's a shot I took of my wife, same day same place but with the vintage Bessa, of course.

I have some students in my studio sometimes they love the digital workflow and what´s possible this way but they always get out of control when I show them my old cameras. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of a similar leaning, Phil. Were there only 1 film stock available, I would hope it to be Tri-X...but I do like using all those others out there. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking through my copy of "Deja Vu" by Ralph Gibson last night, and your technique puts me in mind of his style that he employed in the trilogy he did in the '70s (With "The Somnambulist" and "Days At Sea"). These are among my favourite photo books, so I hope you take that as a compliment! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
