Little bit of vignetting and/or light leak? I couldn't work out whether the darker patches were clouds or not!

I think it's just a combination of high contrast film and scanning.

This is actually the third film through the camera and the only film I had in the house was Technical Pan.

I had previously put two rolls of FP4 through it. The first came out completely black and I assumed it was because the brown laminate I made the lens board out of was letting some light in.

So I masked that with some aluminium foil and tried another roll... which also came out completely black!

After a while looking over the camera, I put an LED torch inside and found two small gaps where the lens helical met the lens board. A bit of black silicon cured it.

Nice shots with the Rollei. Are you using a close up lens (Rolleinar) with it?

And I love Twisted Tree on your Flickr page.

Thanks. No, don't have a Rolleinar. Very impressed with how easy it is to focus though, the picture just seems to 'pop' into focus on the viewfinder. Very happy that you like the tree picture - I'm hoping to start taking my Bronica out to the mountains with Velvia in bad weather in the hope of some interesting shots...

Wow! One of my all time favourite pics on TP. I love that it really takes me there - I can imagine standing next to the pony and it giving me a good looking over as it seems to be doing to you!

I have got to agree with this, both pony shots are just so good, congrats.
 
That second pony is almost 3D, bloo*y stunning.

Thanks! Will definitely be shooting more Velvia... :)
 
Very surprised with the Vilia camera, put some expired Lloyds 200 film in for a test and some photos are pretty good for what the camera is.




Last shot is a 'selfie'. Lots of friends take shots with their iphones I showed them how it's done!

A bit silly I know, but here's one I took with the Rolleiflex and Velvia 50 film... :)
I think it wanted to eat the camera!

Osh, them pony shots are wonderful. Even with the drool. :)
 
Clichéd, maybe, but brilliant definitely and the chess players shot is wonderful as well.
 
RJ, these are just great, lovely colours and great subjects!

Thanks, Adrian. I think the colours were helped mightily by the amazing weather we had during our few days there.

You just cannot beat the feeling produced by medium format can you skysh4rk. Be it digital or film it produces an entirely different kind of image to 35mm.

I'm definitely loving medium format at the moment! I'm very glad that I made the jump from 35mm just a few short weeks ago.
 
Two of the local carnaval which is held here every february/march, shot on OOD Konica film ( sept 2006).

RJ - If the cycle shot is cliche it also has to be definitive in the genre of european city cycle shots. You need to sell it to costa, nero, or starbucks.
 
All the great shots being posted here recently made me look for some more of mine. I guess it's what threads like this are for!

An old Billingsgate Fish Market shot I took on a borrowed Fuji 6x9 rangefinder. One of the few time I have got up a 5am for some pics.

Not too bad for a camera/lens combo thats over 80.

A scan of a wet print from some Fomapan 100 rated as 200

Scan-130310-0001_zps38864996.jpg


A4 size print onto multigrade pearl paper graded at 3.5-4

Naturally resizing and compression have ruined the fine tonal graduations.
Here is it hanging up drying

You're right Rob. The drying shot is much more pleasing to the eye.
 
I got to scan some shots from a recent trip to San Francisco over the weekend. A mix of Ektar, Vista and Gold on a Pentax Super A, I was happy enough with the results:

Tokina 17mm, Ektar

Another Ilford HP5 + EOS 1V HS 50mm 1.4 @1.8. I am finding some of the prints to be a bit grainy is this normal with HP5? It was developed by Ilford labs and these are the low res scans. I don't think the scans really do it justice as they don't look as good as the prints. I guess I will have to shell out and tick the box for high res scans next time. Or maybe I am too used to the files from my 7d with much more detail.

HP5 can be quite grainy. I don't really like it in 35mm because of this. I do like it in 120 format though, as the larger neg hides the grain a bit and it becomes more acceptable to me.

Thanks. What is a good 35mm film for portraits?
 
It's a personal thing - stuff that I might love will be hated by other people!

In ISO 400 I like Kentmere and Neopan.
Kentmere is also grainy, but for purely subjective reasons, I prefer its grain to HP5's

Neopan is nice, but I've found that you need to be careful and have the temp of the stop, fix and wash water the same as the dev or it reticulates (you get a grazy paving effect on the neg)

And for slower film, FP4 is a stalwart (the one below also had a green filter when taken):
20130311131801_scan-120513-0014.jpg
 
For black and white I would go for Fuji Acros 100 and Ilford PanF+ if you have enough light as they are quite slow films, ISO 100 and 50 respectively.

For colour you can't really go wrong with Kodak Portra ISO 160 or 400

I have got some portra so will try that next. For the B&W I need the flexibility of ISO 400 really as I do a few indoor shots.

Some more playing with Kentmere's 400, this time souped in D76. The grain is a little more acceptable but I'm still not in love with it despite its reasonable value.

Both shot on my OM20 with 28mm 3.5
Click to expand...

I do like these. I quite like the Kentmere 400, grain and all! I have a few rolls of the 100 here to try out and will be devving them in D76.

Here's one from me from today. I had a hankering for shooting some colour asI haven't since November. This is from a roll of Lomography 100 film which my brother got me for my birthday last year. I have no idea if it's in date or not! Shot with my X-300 with the 50 1.7, devved by the dev lady in town and scanned my me:

There would be a couple more but I had forgotten how long colour film takes to scan and now I just want to go to bed!

Thanks for looking as always :thumbs:

Personally I'm a big fan of Kodak T-Max 400 and Fuji Neopan 400 for portraits, they have wonderful smooth tones and, especially with T-Max, relatively fine grained.

Some Tri-X portraits can look stunning but that's more subjective.
