Just before Christmas I picked up a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 in M42 mount which I had heard very good reports about. I have a few old M42 mount cameras and decided to test it with my trusty Praktica MTL 5B and some expired Kodak Colorplus. It was a pretty cold day but clear skies…
Another roll shot here in the South Wales Valleys in the fog that seemed to hang around forever. This time I used my trusty Nikon F100 this the Nikkor 24-85 vr and some long expired Fuji Superia 400. I have about 15 or so rolls of expired Superia 100/400 mix that I was gifted and…
Slightly out of order again as I shot this roll last weekend and wanted to see how Portra 800 looked as I have never shot it in 120 format before. The weather was cold and pretty drab with quite a lot of mist up on the mountains here so I thought that it was appropriate…
We have had quite a few foggy days here in Wales so I decided to shoot a roll of HP5 at 1600 with the hope of accentuating the fog with the extra grain and contrast of pushing the film. I was quite pleased with the results, I really do like the look of HP5 when…
As I have said in a previous post I have a lot of expired Slide film stored in my fridge with the intention to cross-process it from time to time. This roll of Fuji Sensia 400 expired back in 2002, I am not sure how most of the rolls were stored which is why I am cross processing…
I have had my Olympus 35RC for quite a while but have been struggling to nail any focus when shooting wide open probably due to the very dim viewfinder patch. It was quite dim when I got the camera but my last couple of rolls have had a load of out of focus frames on…
I have realised that I am posting slightly out of sequence with my next 3 posts due to developing/scanning mishap. I had 6 rolls of film to catch up with and having not marked very well I have managed to process them out order in which shot. I want to get as much done this…
I have been shooting every week for this 52 rolls project but as I said in my last post I am way behind with the processing. As I have a few days off for Christmas I am slowly getting through the backlog, here is roll 1. Expired Kodak Portra 400 VC shot with the Mamiya…
What with the poor weather, work, the FP4Party stuff and Christmas fast approaching I am way behind with my 52 Rolls posts. I have 4 other rolls still to dev/scan and this roll is technically week 46 but as it was the 1st time I have ever shot this film I decided to process it…
I have been making the most of the lovely sunshine we have been having recently … the weather here in Wales has been a bit nuts, lovely sunshine one day, torrential rain the next and then last weekend we had the 1st smattering of Hail/Snow up on the mountains. These two images were shot…
I was attempting to write a list of all the various single rolls of expired film I have stored in my fridge last week and when all done I realised that I had 6 rolls of Superia 100. I love shooting Superia 400 but I don’t remember shooting much 100 before so as it was…
Thanks to a tweet from a twitter friend I heard that MrCad was selling a lot of cold stored Kodak expired film and it was not available online only in store or via telephone. I rang up as soon as they opened and managed to bag 40+ rolls of 120 Portra 160vc, 400vc ……
