I loaded the Perkeo II on Saturday and have made one exposure so far.
There are two rolls of Ferrania P30 135-36 sitting on my desk to process, one from the Kodak Retina IIc, the other from the Leica M4-2. Maybe today...?

It's been a long time now...
I plan to load my Iskra II with some TRI-X and do some street photography on the upcoming weekend.
Then let's hope that my Rodinal is still in good condition.

I admire all the guys , who still do some "filmwork" .
I have given up all my darkroom equipment and decided to never return to film again . It's so much more comfortable for me to work digital .
Here is one of my ancient 6x6 WELTAX , still in fully working condition .

You know the saying about sailing, like standing in an icecold shower and tearing 100 bills. Not SO different from film photography
(To be specific, the feeling when you discover the results of your work)

I recently found a photographer, Nick Carver, on YouTube. He shoots panorama medium format film at 6x17 and produces some great images. I thought I'd mention it here since this thread is about film photography. (I have no connection to Nick Carver at all - I just like his videos and tutorials. His metering tips have helped me greatly in the last few years in using my 501cm). Nick Carver Photography Site

I've watched a number of his videos, and I agree they have a lot of good information. He's recently been doing a series of videos on 6x17 and what options are out there; though I found it funny that he did not mention the Malefic camera I'm using even though it has been around for longer than the two other 3D printed cameras mentioned (Noble and Kraken).
I'm still not 100% sure the hassle and cost of 6x17 film is worth it over digital, but to achieve the same resolution with my Sony camera would just require a different hassle and cost.

Now, TriX and Rodinal are not the right receipt for urban landscapes, but that day (1 week ago) unfortunately I did not find the right light for what I was aiming to...
And the fact that this interesting building happens to be Google's Headquarters is just a coincidence that I've discovered afterwards.

Apologies: not medium format, but a scanned 35mm image with my newly revived Coolscan 8000. The film was respooled Hollywood 35mm movie negative film. You exposed the film, sent it to them, and they processed the film and made small proof prints. I had a color darkroom then and made a 16"x20" print of this. I will include "actual pixel" image also which shows nice detail (and actual film grain) as well. I have a ton of old medium format negatives as well as my father's 645 negatives from the 1930's. Getting my Coolscan up and running again is very exciting to me. I also used for the first time my new custom designed and 3D printed film holders by Stephan Scharf in Germany. They are modular and fantastic!

You must have purchased this some time ago.
There are two sizes of 6x9 film. The European size is 6.5 x 9 cm. The American size is 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches which is slightly smaller than the European size 6x9 film. To my knowledge neither are available in the U.S..

Hi there. Yes I purchased 6x9 and 2x3 film quite some time ago, as I could find it. Freestyle used to sell 2x3 Arista, most of my 6x9 came from the shoppes in Europe. All stored now in my deep freeze. I do have quite an assortment. Over last week I have been loading up 6x9 and 2x3 film holders for upcoming use.
