another Shanghai GP3 100 mess
More streaky 8x10 Shanghai GP3 100. As previously reported, I bought two boxes of this stuff. Sheets from the first box had streaks in the emulsion. I opened the second box, and they were good... for a bit. Now they too are streaky. One sheet I just pulled was double notched with one notch where it belongs and another along a long edge. My first-first box of 8x10 was also double notched, but with the more prominent notch on the wrong side of the short edge with the proper notch. The emulsion of that box was good, and I got three of my wall worthy photos from it. That's why I bought two more boxes. Then my 3x4 had blotches in the emulsion. So far, my box of 4x10 is good. And five rolls of 120 were good.
In conclusion, the stuff can't be trusted. I can use it to fiddle/fart around with silly subjects like this, or use it for testing/training of lens/ND grad filter combinations, but it's not going to go with me to Death Valley, Yosemite, Bisti nor anywhere else now that this box also has streaks.
First time using the Apo-Nikkor 480mm 1:9 with a Packard Shutter mounted on the front of it.
Pretty obvious I don't know what I am doing wrt photographing highly reflective objects. Time to hit the books! But you can see that I was playing around with the optics of putting bottles behind bottles.
