Second roll thro' the R5, this time Neopan 400.  These first two were on the High St with the 60mm Macro Elmarit-R.

 

1) In a charity shop window.

 

 

2) In need of a trim.

Now two with the 35mm Elmarit-R III.  Neopan 400 was not the best choice for landscapes but the intention was to become more familiar with the camera and lens.

 

1) Truncated

 

 

2) Lake scenery

Love those retro colours!  BTW, what do Canadians tire of?  

 

After 27 years in the UK, and 32 years in Canada, I have to say that the only spelling difference that has stuck has been 'tire' vs. 'tyre'. My colours are not colors, and at night I don't say 'goodnite' and even if I go to Timmies I want a doughnut rather than a donut. But 'tire' just seems right in a way that 'tyre' does not. But perhaps you pneu that....

[chrism]

And by coincidence, I have been playing with Neopan 400 today, since it is my grainiest 400ASA film. I wanted to see if the motorised Rondinax would make Rodinal developed films even grainier, hence using a film I regard as dreadfully grainy. It was dark, and rained heavily this morning (welcome after two months with no rain, probably thanks to Trump in some way or another) so I wandered around the house using f1.4 and 1/8 second. This is cropped to about 40% of the area of the whole negative:

 

Roots by chrism229, on Flickr (OM-2n, Zuiko 50mm/f1.4, Neopan 400, Rodinal 1+50, X1 scan.)

 

Conclusion: grain, yes, but no worse than usual. It appears that continuous agitation in the motorised Rondinax is giving results so close to the usual intermittent agitation that I can't tell the difference. And that means I can go ahead and use it pretty much all the time, although I'll have to build another base for the Rondinax 60 so I can develop 120 film the same way.

Bravo Frank , you are a great connoisseur .... and don't drink "Ja" please

Nothing to say now !

Hello Henry,

 

I never have taken a drop from this Ja! stuff.

It's only for developing...

When I first posted shots from the R5 / 60mm Macro Elmarit combo someone (Chris, Gary?) asked if I had tried the macro function.  I do not have the macro add-ons, just the naked lens but even so it has a quite a close-focus capability.  Neither of these two photos are at the closest setting but nevertheless the results of 'getting in close' are pleasing (both hand-held).  Neopan 400.

Hi Philip - So sorry for the delay.  Been busy doing nothing here in Israel   I guess I have ben a bit presumptuous regarding people's assumed knowledge of the zone system.  No really point in talking about it if you haven't used it (which you obviously don't need to as you are doing quite alright with your workflow).  However, fwiw, the book "The Negative" by Ansel Adams is a really quick read and an amazing bottoms up tutorial on it.  

Adam, I'm afraid I don't know much about the zone system so it is difficult for me to comment. For instance, I don't know which zone is considered as the baseline for the speed (wikipedia suggests it's zone 1) but in any event since you use an external meter and a complex system it is difficult to say exactly whether and how much you're over- resp. under-exposing. I guess if you metered in-camera at the same time at box speed you would have a reference point. For the heck of it you could set the meter one or two stops over some time and see what happens. 

 

I've shot metered film cameras since the 1980s and have only very rarely had troubles, though when they occur it is usually because I haven't paid attention to the scen.

 

Dumb meters, by which I mean those which do not make any adjustments themselves to exposure based on the values encountered in the metering area, require the photographer to pay attention to what is in the frame, such as excessively bright or dark areas which may "fool" the meter. These are the most common meters and are found in the film Leica Ms and also in my Hasselblad.

 

More intelligent meters, such as the meters in Canon's EOS cameras and Nikon's colour matrix system, are supposedly able to make "intelligent" adjustments to exposure based on the light (and, as I understand it, in the case of Nikons matrix system also based on the colours in the metering area). I only have experience (but a lot of experience) with the EOS system and I can say that it is quite impressive, but naturally not infallible.

 

Regardless of whichever meter the camera has the photographer needs to be prepared to adjust the readings based on experience. Or just be prepared to accept whatever comes out of the camera and deal with it in post. That certainly works very well in most cases for colour negative film in light of its amazing latitude. And I find it works well enough for my photography, given how forgiving most films are and my own scanning and post-processing skills.

Hi Paul - I am SO impressed by your photographs.  Both technically and more importantly how you have managed to get intimate with you subjects.  You really have something special here.  I especially love this one of the girls studying/praying.  It is really world class.  Keep up the fantastic photography!  (Btw, as I am typing I can here fireworks in the background.  Here in Jerusalem, it is a common sound in the evenings as it means there is wedding underway in a nearby Arab neighborhood

My first roll of Rollei RPX 400 came back from the lab. I like its rendering. Here are a few quick scans:

and it's a guess whether this is the 50mm Summicron or 35mm Summaron f2.8 LtM - probably the 35?

 

LOVE the first one, Philip.  The colors in the first are amazing and I am impressed at the lack of pronounced vignetting with that old slow lens.

This is with one of the "dogs", the 2,8cm f6.3 Hektor.

Calm and plenitude Jean-Marie

Very relaxing atmosphere and with film and the color , the best support

photo for the softness.

Jean-Marie you can find currently Agfa color 160 Isos ?

Thank you

Henry

Thank You Henry. First  let me tell You I do like both of Your Abbey photos - colour and B/W. I think the composition of the colour picture is maybe lightly more interesting in my eyes, but that depends also of what one intends to express with a photo. As a documentary picture, the B/W would be better.

 

And yes, I have a friend who ran a photo shop in the neighbour village . He had these Agfa Films - three of them, actually. My wife stole one and shot it today, then the third and last one was half/half ( that means 6 photos for her , 6 for me in the Rolleiflex... Rolleiflex that she also has "stolen" from me ;-) ... maybe Artie has any more rolls left, I shall ask him. If yes , I'll let You know and eventually send a roll to You.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[Wayne]

Ran into the tricycle, again, today. I swear, I was not looking for it. Open sidewalk. The tiff is sharper.
