I popped into town this morning to buy some 400 speed Lomo film from Urban Outfitters but I was a bit too early so I wandered down to Jacobs, ironically called ‘Jacobs Digital’ despite being the only place in the centre of town that I’m aware of that still sells darkroom supplies. I almost went [...]

C-41, A Restrospective
In my first home, Tetinal, C-41 kit I managed to get through approximately 31 rolls of 120 film and 13 spools of 35mm film when the last roll was reduced to mushy pea soup. The first roll I home developed was a roll of FujiFilm taken with a Diana F+ as it was probably wasn’t [...]

The Good News and the Bad News
Good News! The Kodak Portra 160 negatives look pretty good, especially the shots of the Forth Road Bridge and the shot of my Mum and Anna. I’ll try to scan them later today but maybe not. The Bad News My first 127 negative looks like shit. I under exposed the entire roll to the point [...]

My C-41 Developer Has Finally Died
… and it has taken two rolls of 120 with it. I lost one black & white Ilford X-Pro 400ASA C-41 I shot today, which I’m über pissed off about, and I lost an old roll shot with the Diana, not so much. Both rolls had virtually nothing on it. This also coincides with the [...]

Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2 Street Photography, 7 June 2011
Before we get to the photos I’d like to share this nice little YouTube video of another Zeiss Ikon camera: Now, here are the shots I got from 2 rolls of Kodak ektachrome 160T colour reversal E-6 film processed using C-41 chemicals. The reason some frames are missing was down to bad timings in a [...]

Mamiya, Flash
I’ve finally set the flash correctly on the Mamiya (x not m) and shot at 1/30 just to be safe. A couple of shots didn’t come out; one was completely burnt out and the other had a thin sliver of light from behind a curtain was visible, must have been the M setting. And to [...]

Mamiya(hoo?)
Bar the first shot, it looks like the Mamiya riddle might nearly be solved (shouldn’t have been difficult if I’d actually bothered to investigate properly). Seven out of eight shots came out which is promising but at least another 2 rolls should make it certain. The shots are, unfortunately, boring and the colours are strange [...]

More Mamiya BS
I thought I had this bastage sussed. I thought I taped up the back plane quite well but it was only parcel tape. I definitely need duct tape now to rule out that backdoor. I’ve tightened the lens mechanism as much as I can, blacked out with a glue gun and black acrylic paint any [...]

Mamiya Continued …
I ran a test roll after tightening the lens which ended badly. Only two shots came out: I drastically glue-gunned and painted black any gaps or spaces around the back of the camera and loaded another roll. All bar 1 came out! Quite the reversal: I’ll pull off the glue and replace it with Duct [...]

Halina Viceroy, FujiColor Pro 160S
Here are a few shots I took last night to test out a roll of 120 FujiColor Pro 160 ISO. I got 10 rolls from 7dayshop.com for £31, so £3.10 per roll, which is not too shabby and the shots look ok: There were a couple of shots where I didn’t quite get the shutter/aperture [...]
