ANALOG Urban Geometry – Pingusson Building Saarbrücken (X-Pro Precisa CT 100)
Photographed with a Rollei 35 S, featuring the legendary Sonnar 2.8/40mm lens, loaded with Agfa Precisa CT 100 — a slide film expired by 5 years. The film was cross-processed in C-41 chemistry, resulting in the signature high-contrast, color-shifted tones that define the X-Pro aesthetic.
This image captures the Pingusson Building in Saarbrücken, a striking example of post-war modernist architecture, under surreal skies. The expired emulsion added unpredictable magenta and cyan shifts that contrast sharply with the rigid geometry of the facade.
The film was self-developed using the Adox C-41 kit, and the negatives were digitized by photographing them with a Pentax KP and SMC Macro Limited 28mm lens setup. The analog workflow – from camera to chemicals to scan – reflects the raw and experimental character of cross-processed film.
