Yesterday a good friend of mine died because of cancer. So I'm glad I can share a picture I took 6 years ago. Leica MP & 35mm lens loaded with T-Max 100.

 

Sorry to hear of her passing.  A nice photo to go along with your memories.

Several months ago I decided to make a change after using my last few rolls of TMax 400. I had tried Delta 400, Double X and a few others but decided to go with Tri-X. When I was first learning about photography, I used a lot of Tri-X, then came the T grain films and TMax was it. I decided not only to use Tri-X as my only film but also to develop it in Rodinal. It's been a learning process and here are the latest testers. M4, Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35 1.4 SC V2, 010 filter, Adox Rodinal 50:1:

Thank you for sharing these. Years ago, I always used Tri-X (with D76) as my only BW film. I never tried Rodinal (1:50) until last year and I am delighted with it. So, maybe now is the time for a change…hmmm.

You have now inspired me to return to Tri-X and see where I go with it! 👍

My first several rolls were underexpose and over developed. I asked for some advice on another forum and learned quite a bit. When using Rodinal, it's about a one stop reduction from box speed. I had been using a 022 yellow filter but switched to just a UV and still metered at ISO 200. These were ten minutes at 20C with gentle, constant agitation for the first minute with three inversions every minute thereafter. Stop bath fas Foma Indicator for thirty seconds, Ilford Rapid Fix for seven minutes and a modified Iford wash. 

Some say it's the absolute worst combination of film and developer but handled gently, it provides for a good image with pleasant grain. It's a work in progress for me.

Here are a few more. The negatives were scanned using a Sony A7II fitted with a FE90 2.8 Macro. A Negative Supply Pro Carrier 135 held the negatives and a Lightsource Pro 95 CRI provided illumination. After capture the negatives were converted using RAW Power by Gentlemen Coders which can be used as either a stand alone or a plug in for Apple Photos. I add +1.7 EV for the capture with most of the images needing no adjustments or if I do, it's a minor bump in exposure or contrast.

The Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35 1.4 SC V2 is a new lens for me. I found one online with the hood and 2 filters for a sub $500 usd price. The first couple of images I took with it were not particularly sharp and thought there might have been damage to the coating on the rear element. Took it to a local shop, the owner cleaned it for me. Problem solved.

Film is Kodak 250D and has been ECN-2 processed as it’s a colour negative motion picture film stock and this is it's native chemistry. I get asked this a lot, but yes there is a HUGE difference between this and C41 and I would never, ever, do C41 after experiencing ECN-2. Don't listen to Youtubers.

The film tolerates overexposure well and has a lower contrast and a colour palette which is more muted compared to C41 processing (which is great because I like to edit anyway).

Oh and my instagram if anyone is keen to see more 250D + ECN2 work from me. @maxfairclough (www.instagram.com/maxfairclough)

Leica M6 35mm Summilux Asph preFLE 

Velvia 100F was a bad choice for street photography but this one looked better as it was than converted to b/w.
