More and more film fun with something other than a Leica M

krb, I like these. My favorite is #1 with the woman looking into the mirror. #2 is really beautiful with the shiny metal. #3 has nice geometry going on.

Scott, Wow! I love how you really get into the details in your photos.

Leif, fantastic tonality from 35mm on these (I've become a medium format bigot). Tripod, or hand-held? I'll have to try Acros again! Did you do a standard, or stand development in the Rodinal?

Contax 645?? I hate you. :)

Actually, before buying my Hassy 500c/m, I considered a Contax because I like my RX so much. I decided to go the square route, partially because I already have a 645 camera. The Contax' are still pretty dear, too, esp the lenses.

Nice shot, regardless of what camera it came out of. Great shadow detail. That Portra 400 looks to be an amazing fast color film (as you've said before). I have yet to get/shoot some.

And one more from the same day. This on TMax 400 and using the Mamiya 50/4 shift because the focus ring on my 80mm broke.

I´m really getting over my fear for Rodinal/TriX. Being lighter on the agitation/inversion routine and using 1+50, it´s not that dangerous anymore.:D
Still more contrasty and grainy than with XTOL, but I like it as well.
These two are shot on Arista Premium (=TriX). Doggy slightly cropped.

Something strange happened. I also tried to answer Mike that the woods shots were handheld and Rodinal 1+50. And; that I liked the bike as well. But that disappeared after being double at first. Well ... :)

I get the message, anyway :).

I like Rodinal, even with Tri-X. I have to make everything work in it, since I only have that and Diafine (well, and Perceptol, which I have not had the nerve to mix up and use).

Sounds like you and I are in the same place with Rodinal -- I am learning to agitate very gently. I'm shooting a lot of medium format lately, and that's a little more forgiving, luckily.

On the medium format note, here are a few I took while visiting my home region of central Kentucky back in May. These are all with the Fuji GA645Zi (Great, great camera and I highly recommend it. But notice how many verticals -- that's the "native" orientation.).

First three on Rollei Retro 80S, Rodinal stand 1hr. Last one is Delta 400 @ 200, with 20% reduction in development, Rodinal 1+50, 11 minutes.
