christoph_d Posted September 11, 2017 Share #39821 Posted September 11, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is part of how I manage my R8. The M cameras requires a different method. , using a mini tripod jammed into the plaster caste next to my thumb. Recently I broke a finger on my left hand, which had to be pinned and the hand plastered. Using a camera has become very difficult, but I have a technique. I think my brain must have been affected, because I just processed a roll of HP5+ (Iso 800) film in Rodinal with 50ml of dev instead of 5mm! Even the sprocket holes went black!! And you should see me load a film into a dev tank with one hand. A terrifying sight. The big surprise is that after laborious scanning, I still got (unintentionally) amazing images, by my standards. Here are some examples, for interest. Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope all heals well and fast! Even when you make "mistakes" the resulting images are excellent. Particularly the first image with its strong graphic forms seems to benefit from it. I think that your development technique will serve as inspiration for Lomography generations to come!

John, you are going to have such a muscular right arm - an R8 - and is it an 80mm f1.4?? Kudos! And how you'd load a developing tank with one hand has gotten me completely stumped. The pictures are fantastic - especially that first one. Love the quality of them. Rodinal 1:5 - I'd have never thought it could be done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodinal 1:5 - I'd have never thought it could be done. Yes Phil, it is an R8 + 80/1.4. A fabulous combo. IMO. Loading the film into tank one handed is hard to describe, but in all honesty I should declare the assistance of the thumb on the plastered hand. I balance the reel on one edge on the bench top, stabilized withe the thumb. I then present the film edge to the entry slot and push to start. Then the vthumb slides to the entering film an holds it while i I reverse rotate the other half of the rell. Then repeat. Nauseatingly awkward and slow, but better than taking to a lab, unless that is, you muck up your developer ratios!!! eek. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes film scans / camera 'scans' can take on the look of digital, but these shots of yours are clearly analogue, unmistakably so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve, I believe the massive over-development has largely contributed to the analog effect. I used an aggressive developer anyway (Rodinal), bur the 10 times developer concentration really did the 'trick'. Here is another image from the same film which nearly looks 'normal'.

johnwolf Posted September 11, 2017 Share #39833 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) I won a very nice Olympus XA2 that was donated for a forum weekend photo challenge. Here's one from the first roll. I mostly use scale focus with my M6 and GR, so this is pretty familiar.I think I'm really going to enjoy this camera. - John Edited September 11, 2017 by johnwolf 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmx Posted September 11, 2017 Share #39840 Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) I don't know what artisan meant but there is a guy from Italy sells the substitute of Diafine (the formula is known) on Ebay. It works very well and it's cheap as well. I purchased several times from this source. Just search for Diafine on Ebay Edited September 11, 2017 by Tmx 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
