p.709 #1Post your recent film shots!
My E-6 kit arrived today, and the 1st 2 rolls of Provia are already developed and scanned. I was literally giggling like a 5 year old when I saw the 1st roll hanging to dry! So cool!

Honestly, it was all easier and less stressful than I thought it would be. Mixing the 3 different solutions (Developer A, B and Blix) with super hot water was the worst part. Luckily I live in a big apartment complex, so consistently hot water is not an issue. I wasn't too crazy about nailing the development temp 100%, but I tried to keep everything at @100ºF, and it seems to have gone well!

All Hasselblad 500 C/M + 80/2.8 (at 2.8) + 10mm Extension. Provia 100 home developed in Arista Rapid E-6. Scanned with Sony A7ii + Tamron 90mm f/2.5 Macro using a Lomography "DigitaLiza"120 film holder and a lightbox.

I did NOTHING. ZERO. NADA to the A7 scanned chromes in LightRoom. Just imported the RAW scans, cropped and exported. The A7 picked the right color temp, and exposed all the shots perfectly!

All taken at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.

























More to come...

Beautiful work and congratulations on your first E-6 processing (something I have yet to try)!

The Lomo Digitiliza (ugh!) and lightbox are going to be my de facto MF copying method going forward.

Thought I had lost this one, and there is only one good frame, as far as I'm concerned. Kitaro.

Great capture! I have a handful of his albums. Good music to study too.

Another portrait shot on 4x5. This one with a Cambo and a Schneider 210mm 5.6 Symmar-S. This is Arthur and Marion Figen, my paternal grandparents, Art from Romania (1899) and Marion (1903) from Borshna, Ukraine. Both gone now. They emigrated around 1905-6 to Minneapolis and LaCrosse, Wis. and were part of the Jewish community in Minneapolis and moved to Los Angeles by the mid 1930's. I also just found Art's college diploma from U of Minnesota from 1922. My grandmother hated these photos at the time - early 1980's because they showed too many wrinkles. We like them now.

I hate to lower the standard of this thread, after Peter's wonderful photos.

Two shots from my Canon 7 and 50mm f/0.95 wide open, on Ektar 100.
Simple Frontier scan from my local lab.

Looking back at some shots from a couple years ago. Been thinking about other stocks since Acros was kind of my default, I think I'll need to get some more XP2, plus the lab likes it since their C-41 is done on a machine. (I'm still a few years from my own processing - when we get a bigger house...)

Zeiss Ikon Nettar, Novar-Anastigmat 75mm f/6.3. These are stopped down, f/11 I think, it gets real dreamy wide open.

No, No Edward, keep posting please, especially candid mirror-wielding shots although I do believe that Peter's images are a 'special kind of special'

Agentbird and Mathieu - I loved these very different sets you posted above.


Some re-scanned negs from 2016...I'm still enjoying the new level of scanning performance I'm getting from my recently acquired Nikon Coolscan V ED (LS-50) scanner (these also posted up on the Leica thread).

FP4+ film, lens possibly VM35 f/1.2 Nokton Mk I. Camera in these two is a Hexanon RF.

This last two are using a shortlived M2, now replaced by a 1956 M3 SS. Film is again FP4+

Thanks David, FP4 was another one I was looking at, and your photos don't dissuade me to be sure! I may use that for a slower film... Great shots.

Good to know what this camera is capable of. I have one of these and I have been wondering if it was worth my time getting it working again.

Think of it like a Tessar I imagine. Wide open its dreamy, but stopped down, like above it's quite nice. Wide open shots below. The fun thing is it will literally put 6x6 in your pocket (though it's not necessarily comfortable.

I saw Kitaro in concert twice back in the day. Great shows.

A couple more from last weekend.

Hasselblad 500 C/M + 80/2.8 + 10mm Ext. Fuji Provia 100 home-developed using the FFP Arista Rapid E-6 kit. Scanned with A7ii + Tamron 90mm f/2.5 Macro using a DigitaLiza 120 on a lightbox.

Once again, ZERO post on these. Just imported into LightRoom, cropped and output. This is how the slides look in real life.

Some Piaggio scooter details in Brooklyn.

Finally scanned this image of Hillman taken back in '86 upstairs at McCabe's in Santa Monica. It had disappeared for about thirty years but now it's immortalized at 4000 pixels per inch. Lots of post production here, but I like it better that way. I shot Chris many times over about a dozen year after this first time and this is still one of my favorite images of him and this extraordinarily beautiful Gibson guitar.

For those who don't know, Chris was the the bass player in the Byrds, played in Souther, Hillman, Furay Band, as a solo artist, Manassas with Stephen Stills, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and The Desert Rose Band. This was at the very beginning of the Desert Rose Band era, from the guy who was one of the first to blend classic country into rock and roll with the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo record in '68.
