A spontaneous moonlit shoot grabbing the only film I had left in my bag... Rollei Superpan 200. Pushed right to the very end of its sensitivity. Not the ideal film for the job. Wild! haha
Film: Rollei Superpan 200
120 Format
Camera: Rolleiflex Automat Model 2 1938
Tripod
Shutter Release Cable
Metering: Weston Master V
f22 and 10 seconds
I didn't have time to consult the datasheet to compensate for the reciprocity of the film.
Infinity focus. Couldn't see a thing through the focusing screen of course. 😂.
No filter, Post Edit in Photoshop to bring back a bit more of the highlights.
Development:
Ilford HC 1+31 8 minutes at 20c
Ilford Fixer 4 Minutes 20c
Ilford Wetting Agent 1 minute
I'm chuffed with the results to be honest because I know what a mad rush I had after deciding to shoot in the low light conditions. Changing the roll in cold frosty temperatures, in almost darkness. And setting up the tripod. I expected to maybe have no results at all. But i'm crazy like that so 'rolled with it'.
I also wasn't sure on my development of this film in Ilford HC developer (my only current developer) as I couldn't see a clear mix suggestion for it anywhere online. I assumed it wasn't ideal for the fine grain of superpan 200 haha but, I knew this film shot at low light would have some heavy grain anyway. I wasn't needing fine development results. So I totally winged it using the recipe mix for supposed predecessor to Superpan 200 -Agfa Aviphot Pan 200!! when it is developed in Kodak's similar HC-110 developer. Formula of 8 Minutes at 20c. Dilution B 1+31. I think it worked out ok.
