Looking at some photos from last summer. Don't think I've previously posted this one from the remarkable scarp overlooking the Vale of Pewsey.

nice detail retention in the snow.  Lovely colors and the natural vignetting gives a classic look.  The 2nd is my fav.

The Tetenal brand of powdered presskit is the same as Unicolor or Jobo brands - just a different label on the box.

 

I have found the Rollei Digibase kit available here from argentix.ca, and this looks like it is the same as the Tetenal liquid kit. Anyone used it?

Chris,

 

Thanks for this. I never heard of Argentix.ca before. Their site looks very useful - and it is Canadian. Wonderful. Whoo whoo.

I work with a Monochrom for b/w and will use my m6 for colour, probably with Portra. Right now I want to comment that I have found the process of b/w to be highly dependent on film and development details. This is more than a comment from a beginner as I have been teaching only b/w film for the past twenty years. It would be most interesting to see some details about these things with posts about b/w and colour. Thanks. Gordon.

Hi Gordon - Welcome.  Film stocks are nearly always mentioned, and when they are not a question is invariably asked and so it ultimately comes out.  As for development, not everyone does it themselves, and the ones that do usually will specific their development times/methods.  I really don't think this aspect is lacking on this thread.  It is a wealth of information, really.  As for me, I'll have to ask my lab as my wife is fearful that I will poison my kids in our small NYC apartment...  :huh:

Not sure what you see in your MM that you don't see in BW film.  Been there and done that.  But horses for courses and enjoy.

Welcome, Gordon. I have sold my Monochrom and use only a film M. The Monochrom was a splendid camera, and the best digital camera I ever had. All the same, I had to sell it as I come from an era when digital felt like cheating. Of course B/W is dependent on film and development details! That is actually the point, isn't it? More choices, more control, more responsibility if it all goes wrong, and more satisfaction if it doesn't. The same is true for colour (I'm a little amused to see you using digital for B&W and film for colour, which is the opposite way round for most people!). I've spent the last few days screwing with the normal C-41 process. Trying to make it work at room temperature with semistand development. I succeeded, but it was a Pyrrhic victory as it took just as long as heating up the chemicals for brief, normal development. Just as with B&W, the more you have responsibility for, the more you can be proud of when you get it right (as opposed to the camera's firmware getting it right, which might make a great picture, but how proud of it can you be when all you did was to push the button?) In the end, I want the responsibility of creating the photograph. I don't think I will ever make a photograph of historic importance, and the only reason I persist is the personal satisfaction I get from making each one. Consequently, the more I am involved in each and every decision that leads up to the final result, the more satisfaction I get. Yes, this works just as much for a lousy photograph as a good one, but why else would I continue?

Surely if you have taught B&W film for twenty years you aren't going to say the Monochrom nullifies all those twenty years of experience because it is perfect and no choice of film or development can improve upon it? It's good, even great, and better than I usually achieve with film and chemicals. But all that does is to raise the bar and make me want to try harder with film and chemistry. Is that such a bad thing? Or is it an inspiring reason to keep me entranced with my M2?
