James Markus wroteI finished the roll of film (Kentmere 100 @ 400 iso - over developed in xtol) from the Yashica Electro 35 GT I fixed. Though I can hear the shutter change speeds depending on the ambient light (auto shutter speed so only aperture priority). The result was the thinnest images I have ever achieved. But, the good news is that it was consistently the wrong exposure. So, I will do another roll of 400 @ 100 iso setting. Interestingly, I was able to salvage 12 images out of literally thin air - or at least it looks like clear film base to the naked eye. I wanted to see if the 45mm f1.7 Yashinon-DX worked as good as it looks.
Those look remarkably good! I assume the blurry stuff on the toddler are due to the thin neg?
I think the blurry bits are my Photoshop actions that I wrote using blending modes to add density - specifically, "multiply". They can accentuate something insignificant, and make it stand out. I should have used the history brush on those areas. All the negatives were scanned on a LS-4000 that I fixed using Vuescan. Vuescan has "linear" adjustments that look like a foreign language to a "curves" dialog addict like me. I think what is happening is the luminosity range is extremely compressed, but in 16 bit raw - I can find enough midtone adjustment to make something out of nothing. Black and white points must be literally right next to each other. I saved one of the representative scanner settings in case I ever run into such thin negatives again - hopefully not.
I have no idea what you said, but I clicked 'like' so it seems like I do.
Sorry about that



That’s entirely on me!

Nikon F6, Sigma 35mm f/1.4, Fomapan 100, Xtol 1:1.


Rated at iso 100 or 50?

Did you have issues getting perfect focus at 1.4 w that lens on your F6? Mine seems hit or miss.

I thought so - I shoot it at 50 too and it looks great there.
I had my Art lenses calibrated w the dock for my D850, but those settings didn't play well on my F6. So I just set them to default/zero and they seem 'ok'.
I'm guessing using the doc for the F6 involved a lot of time, notes and some film...
