I tried out my new to me Agfa Isolette that arrived all the way from Germany this weekend with some unknown history expired in '05 TMAX 400(never used it before either) developed in Diafine. It appears the camera works fine, the film is not age fogged, and the negatives look good after resolving a fixing issue.

Polaroid SX-70 with Time Zero film from about 2006.

I've got about 3 boxes (30 exp) remaining in the refrigerator. With this film I had been getting dull washed-out images for the past year or so, but with this warm weather the colors are coming back.

I have Impossible film for it as well.

Couple of experimental shots using some AEU RC paper in my Burke & James 5x7. Finished installing a new bellows (what a pain that was) and thought I would test how light tight everything was. Unfortunately we are not yet ready for prime time. Camera seems to be close but my Ilex No 3 Acme shutter is not. Shutter speeds, particularly the slow ones, are NOT reliable.

Nikon F4s with 28-85 /3.5 AF-D and Kodacolor Gold 200. Took it to a car event. Most people were using phones. I saw one person with a film camera; looked to be a Minolta SRT.

Nikon F2 with 300/4.5 pre-AI and Kodacolor Gold 200. Took it to the zoo. Most people were using phones; a few were using low-end digital cameras.

Shot a roll of Rollei Superpan 200 in a Kodak Signet 35.....but the roll fought me all the way to get onto the spool. Not many negatives survived unscratched. :sad:

OM10 with Agfa Vista colour print film, developed by Snappy Snaps (a local mini-lab firm who are much better than their name suggests they might be).

Current camera is a Honeywell Spotmatic with a non-functioning meter, also running Agfa Vista film.

A (partial) roll of Tri-X shot with one of my M6s (50mm Summicron) of the roadside "oddities" encountered while driving Highways 1/5/16 from Vancouver to Jasper, AB, early Saturday morning, to catch a leg of the Tour of Alberta. Subjects included: A "farmer on a tractor" constructed out of bales of hay (near Barriere, BC), a collection of early 1960s Ford pickup trucks, in a host of shades, displayed in a diagonal roll (near Vavenby, BC) and an entire rear-end assembly from a truck(?) perched atop a 10 foot high collection of rocks (somewhere south of Blue River, BC). A possible long-term project? Film remains in the camera, possibly to be finished in the next day...or so.

Yesterday I shot with my Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 camera with Graflex Optar f/4.7 135mm lens. The film was Ilford Delta 100 Developed in Beerol.

2 - 12oz cans of cheap beer. I used a local lager call Rainier, development may vary a bit depending on the beer.
5.5 teaspoons of washing soda (sodium carbonate)
2.5 teaspoons of Vitamin C (Pure Ascorbic Acid powder)
Warning - add ingredients in the order above to avoid foam explosion. Slowly add the soda to the beer while stirring, this will make the beer go flat.

15 minute development at 20 degrees C with 30 seconds of initial agitation then 15 seconds of agitation every minute.
Water stop, then normal fix.
The negative may have been a little light but when I did 20 minutes in another test it was a little dark.

I went the the Oregon State Fair yesterday, and used an Agfa Clack, Olympus XA2, cheap toy camera, Holga stereo pinhole camera, and a Zeiss Box Tengor. Film? Various expired slide films. It was a target-rich environment.

just finished a bunch of 35mm in the pen ft, its acros 100 and will be developed in coffee and dektol
with maybe 4 or 5 other rolls i have in a holding pattern ...
a few days ago i made some retina prints in a 1a box camera given to me by a now passed away friend's wife and a vest/strut camera traded for
by a nice apug member. that took 122 film ..
unfortunately for me, the exposures were not long enough ( had to bring them in before something bad happened to them )
and the choked down meniscus lenses ( around f10 i am told ) let barely enough light in to register a faint image ..
i probably needed 16 hours exposure instead of 4 ... the images weren't developed out they were chemical free ..

Backpacking (two nights) along Redwood Creek with my 5x7, an Eastman View #2. I took two lenses, a Computar 210mm/f6.8 and Wollie 159mm/f12.5. Took 5 holders, came back with one holder unexposed. Photographed six scenes, two with the Wollie, four with the Computar. All TMax400.

I might develop in HC-110 in an Expert Drum when I get back from Hawaii. I need to order some fixer before I start. Looking for negatives that will print well with the carbon printing process, though one or two scenes might be processed for platinum/palladium printing (softer contrast).

Yesterday I shot two and a half rolls of HP5+ in my Mamiya 645 Super while messing around in the woods with a couple of buddies.

Last camera was a newly-acquired Fuji GA645zi. It worked flawlessly on "P" mode (when I get a new camera, I always let cameras do their own thing if they can - gives me a "base" to work from). The film was Kodak Portra 400 (rated at 320, as I always do). Processed at a Snappy Snaps franchise which was open on Sunday.

Not cheap but processed, scanned and 16 well-exposed prints - so I'm a happy bunny!
