Roll 176: Ondu 6x12 @ 6x9. A test roll with a 2 stop center filter to help with vignetting. My math shows that natively it is ~3 stops at 6x9 (4 stops at 6x12), and if properly positioned, a 2x center filter should bring that down to a more palatable 1 stop at 6x9. Acros and Rodinal.
And finally a comparison with a red filter + 2 stop center filter at two different positions.
Left: Two step up rings between red filter and center filter. Good.
Right: Three step up rings between red filter and center filter. Hits corners.
So @RoamingScott sent me this ancient, expired, garbage film. Just to mess with me because he knew I wouldn't be able to resist, and waste time and money shooting/developing it.
So, 1970's vintage film? Stored by a furnace? ISO 100? Maybe ISO 100 40 years ago. Scott said give it a stop or two extra light, so I went with two. I actually would have gone with more - because why not it's a complete cr@p shoot at this point - but it was non DX coded and I have a Pentax Espio 24EW that bizarrely defaults to ISO 25 for non DX film.
So junk film - not gonna put that in a fancy camera - in the Espio it goes.
And the results? Psychedelic acid trip man. Seriously far out. I also have included an unmolestered scan so you can see that all I did was adjust curves in LR to increase contrast and saturation. I did not use some lame filter software to completely change colours etc.
This is one of the more 'normal' looking images. Full on trip-meister ones to come.

Love this! Looking forward to shooting the last roll now that I know how much it needs to be overexposed. Been trying to think of the best place to shoot the last roll...Yosemite would be a TRIP.

All my shots were in bright sunshine - so max natural contrast etc. I wouldn't recommend it on an overcast day.
