Advertisement Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Bateleur Posted September 17, 2014 Share #1522 Posted September 17, 2014 Film is not dead Henry Indeed Henry! On that vein I am trying the "new" spur version of their HRX developer, it produces lovely negatives and harping back to a previous comment you made about grain with a tight grain!

chrism Posted September 18, 2014 Share #1527 Posted September 18, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I shot a roll of Portra 400 with the Texas Leica today - the Fuji GW690III. Can't put the photos up here, of course, but the detail that camera's lens records is amazing. After that I went to the beach with the M7 and tried to finish off the Ektar in it. Still a few frames left for tomorrow and then I hope there might be something worth posting. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For color, pictures coming from Digital M9 are like Kodak Portra 400 in my opinion , and Erwin Puts is right when he compares the M9 versus M240. Preference for the M9 for vivid side.

chrism Posted September 19, 2014 Share #1530 Posted September 19, 2014 Well, Henry, the laugh's on me. Perhaps there is such a thing as "chemo brain"! I took the M7 to finish off the Ektar and my Pentax 645n to use up some Pan F in it to a lovely nearby beach. Two problems happened - a young deer jumped into the road just in front of me and I had to brake very hard. It didn't hit him, but my Pentax flew off the passenger seat and I had some difficulty getting the lens cap off as it had been forced inside the filter ring. I don't think any real harm was done. When I got home I put both films into my changing bag with two different models of developing tank and loaded them onto the reels. I chuckled to myself about what a disaster it would be to get them mixed up - and then proceeded to develop the Ektar in TMax developer! As soon as I opened the tank to pour in the PhotoFlo I knew what I had done as it should have been a 35mm reel in there and not a 120. Oh well, at least I hadn't run the Pan F through the C-41 chemicals which were warming up as I dealt with the first film. So I've developed the Pan F now and both films are drying. The Ektar does have visible images on it, so when it is dry I will try to scan it and see how it works out. Maybe I will have accidentally discovered a wonderful new artistic medium!

tookaphotoof Posted September 20, 2014 Share #1533 Posted September 20, 2014 Well, that means in case of emergency, when out off b/w I can grab a roll of Ektar out of my bag. Again HP5+ I live here by Tookaphotoof, on Flickr 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalArts 99 Posted September 20, 2014 Share #1537 Posted September 20, 2014 fwiw, I found a bunch of Kodak Plus-X at a shop that was moving its location. The expiry date is 7-2012. I bought it all from them and tried out a roll. I exposed it at ISO 400 and developed it in Diafine which I find is great for scanning (makes a flatter negative and I'm personally not big on super high contrast images.) It seems fine despite the expiration date. I've always liked that long gray scale of Plus-X and its subtle mid tones.... Be sure to click the magnifier for the larger size to see the gray scale; the compression at the small size reduces the mid tone spread. And it's a shame that images here have to be reduced to such small sizes especially on a Leica website where quality is assumed to be paramount; the compression kills everything..... and it's also sad that not many people print photographs anymore.

chrism Posted September 21, 2014 Share #1538 Posted September 21, 2014 I've got 98 rolls of Plus-X in the freezer from the last batch made. It's wonderful at 400 in Diafine - that's the only way I use it. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
