I shot another roll of Retro 80 from Dirt Cheap Films. Shot at box speed and developed in HC-110 @ 1:50 for 7 minutes. Still a lot of contrast and needed to dial back the contrast slider in post.

Ran a roll of Kentmere 100 today through the Nikon N90S set to 400 iso. Souped it in Xtol 1:1 for 12.5 minutes at 75 degrees. It still is too contrasty, but it looked good to me.
Found out why the moth was at my house. Mulberry trees - catapillars love the leaves
got out the fisheye
The first camera I restored less than a year - ago Kodak Retina Reflex S
I have trouble focusing, and I purchased a magnifying eyepiece for the Pentax 645, because I missed focus so often on that first roll. When I went to remove the threaded OEM eyepiece to install the Pentax specialty eyepiece - the old one would not budge. I took the rubber bit off and was confronted with white crystals of corrosion. No amount of cleaning or oil would free it. I found a video of someone repairing the eyepiece - so I got to see how deep the threaded brass ring the rubber had been attached to was - then sawed through the ring with a jewelers saw. "PING" - It literally flew off - being under so much tension. Hopefully, this will result in more keepers. One more frame from the first roll of 30+ year old Verichrome Pan.
