Camera Talk

Taking a break from black and white film and vintage cameras, and given the nice blue skies, I decided it was time for some colour. I grabbed the Sigma SP2M and headed off on the e-bike. On my ride into work, I'd spotted a couple of spots with some colourful concrete blocks, and a colourful wall. I ...

For those of us that deal with sensible date formats

12 February = 122 day
11 June = 116 day
12 June = 126 day
12 July = 127 day

etc.,

Plus of course:
5 April = 5x4" (UK speak)

I shot a roll of colour too, and a roll of very expired Agfapan 25. The results from the later were, well, not very good unless you were looking for loads of fog & frame numbers!

Here's a couple of XPan format colour shots - Kodak Gold 200:

Grain in the sky is visible, but not bad. One would expect hardly visible grain from a T-grain film in such large negatives, but then I have never tried Delta 100 The "grain" is likely compression artefacts as the full size scans show very little. I only had a red filter which would have ...

I took a walk round the south cost a few weeks ago during the last of the year's long-weekends.

... Foma 100 has gray background, right? +3 means exposing like ASA 25? or 12? It's a slightly grey background, about the same as FP4 / HP5, but not as clear as Adox HR50 or Rollei Superpan 200. +1 would be EI50, +2 would be EI25, etc. Given the rather extreme scenes - blacks and shiney chrome, I'd...
