I’m constantly on the go…..

I haven’t really stopped at all over the past two years, except for a short vacation in Catalonia this year. Even though I always carry an arsenal of cameras and different types of film, I rarely get the chance to take them out of the car to capture a shot. Still, I have a few shots that I’d love to share with you.

  • Nikon, Bronica, Contax,…
  • expired: Kodak, Ilford, Fomapan, Adox,…
  • I still only use developers that I mix myself at home
  • The featured photo is the only one taken with my old D800, which I still haven’t given up on

Ansco 130

Lately I like to use the Ansco 130 positive developer again after years. But I’ve only recently started using it as a developer for developing negatives. Basically, I leave any negative film (120) motionless for 45 minutes in the developer.

  • Kodak TMAX 400, Ilford HP5+, Ilford F PAN +, Fomapan 100……
  • Ansco 130(homemade) dilution 1+20
  • 45min

games of the light…

I haven’t posted in a very long time. Sometimes it happens that nothing seems to be happening around, or the second case when there is too much going on and then there is no free time left for fun. That’s why I’m only adding a few shots while playing with the light and the developing in the studio

  • Nikon F4 + MF Samyang 2/135mm
  • Fomapan F100 +1 EV
  • pseudosolarization process with Rodinal & red light
  • Fomabrom C112 + Bürki@Jenny WT

back to the childhood

Every summer I travel to places where I spent my childhood. And sometimes I’m allowed to take pictures of my current childhood. I would ask the father of the little boy in the water to write to me so that I can send him a photo in better resolution…. 🙃🎞📷

  • Zenza Bronica S2 + Nikon F4
  • Nikkor P 75mm+ YF + Sigma 17-35mm
  • Foma Ortho 400 + Kodak 5231
  • D76

Variations with Pyro Plus…

I’ve been tuning the PYRO Plus positive developer this week. By adding a certain amount of pyrogallol at the expense of pyrocatechin. With some combinations of these two developing agents, toning of photographs is no longer necessary . However, the papers must be placed in the bowl with the sensitive layer facing up. Otherwise, you may see streaks from the ribbing on the bottom of the bowl in your photos🙃📷🙏

  • Bronica S2A + Nikon P 75mm
  • Fomapan Ortho 400 + yellow filter+ Agfa Rodinal 1:50,25°C
  • Fomabrom Variant 112 + PYRO Plus ( different variants)

the maintenance…

Today I decided to replace the foam under the mirror on the Bronica S2 again . The special foam I was using before was too hard and sometimes I focused completely different than I wanted. Now I used a different special foam, but it is intended for drywallers and not for repairing cameras. Even though it is ten times cheaper, it does the job perfectly. Since I had nothing to take pictures of, I at least pointed the lens at another old camera(TLR Flexaret) that I am repairing now🙃📷🛠

  • Zenza Bronica S2 + Nikon P f 2,8/75mm
  • Ilford FP4 Plus + D76 homemade stock(continuous agitation)
  • Fomaspeed Variant 312 split grading + homemade Dektol

MP 271

The final version of the own two-bath negative developer was named MP 271. At the moment, it is only tested on Fomapan 100 negatives. It achieves slightly better results on 35mm negatives, which is fine with me, because this is how I radically reduce the costs of analog photography 🙃📷

In the upper part of the linear scan of the negative, it is shown how it develops the first bath.(correct,-1EV,+1EV) At the bottom of the picture is the negative after the complete chemical process .(correct,-1EV,+1EV) .

The second image is a linear scan of the negative at the correct exposure.

The following picture is from this morning in medium format

  • Bronica S2 + Nikon P 200mm + ext. tubes
  • Fomapan 100 + MP271 dev

TK100 & D76(ID11) homemade

I recently tested the behavior of TK100 roll film with D76 developer. TK100 is essentially Fomapan 100, but bought by the meter. This means that you can roll a 1-frame film under the cover strip yourself, or you can roll a 220 roll if you have a camera that allows you to take up to 24 frames in the 6×6 format. Because I needed to test the Kodak D76 (Ilford ID11) developers I had mixed, I always got by with four images in a roll, for each attempt of a differently lit scene.

  • Bronica S2
  • Nikon P 2,8/75mm

The picture is taken in the dark garage of an old repair plant. However, a fifteen second exposure allowed me to capture as much reflected light as possible.
