Rolleiflex 2.8F, using Pan F, developed with Pyrocat HD semi stand. Even though it's quite underexposed, I managed to bump up the ISO quite a lot during the scan and later with Photoshop.
Some MONOCHROME on outdated FP4+ processed in home-made PYROCAT HD taken with my lovely 1956 AGFA ISOLETTE III with 75mm f3.5 SOLINAR lens . WORTHING, Sussex England I used a Yellow Filter for this.
Interesting how they managed to get all that mud collected - everything around is either paved or grassed over.

Vancouver built a lot of these viaducts in the 50's and 60's. Now the problem is that they are deteriorating and need to be taken down - to the tune of $200 million.
I did change the dilution of the Pyrocat HD, Rather than the 1:1:100 - I did it with 1:1:75 - but still at 11 minutes. Not much difference - Pyrocat HD reminds me of doing Cibachrome. With any other colour developer (E6) you did subtle snags in the colour filtration - jus a couple of cc of filtration was visible. ZThe the Cibachrome you cranked the correction 20-30 cc before noticing any changes.
The Voigtlander Nokton f1.1 is a good substitute for a Noctilox. It is better than the Noctilux f1.0 - the 0.96 is marginally better, particularly in the corners (shooting at 0.95 or 1.1 corners are usually my least problem!). The Nokton is also considerably smaller tham the 0.96 and much cheaper!
4x5 FP4 at 80 EI. 180 mm Schneider lens. Toyo 45A field camera. Developed in Pyrocat HD at 20 C for 8 minutes.
I carried all my LF gear for 1.5 hours, in the rain, expecting to find a water filled lagoon fringed with submergerged tree roots. Instead I found a completely dry grassy clearing. It was still worth it, but I will have to go back after alot more rain. Who was it that said "Even a bad day with Large Format gear is still a good work out?" How true.
Sunny f16 and about a stop under. Still pulls the details though. It was somewhere around f2.5 and 1/15s.

Victoria Drive - evidently the "jungle" look is in and added features like parasols, wheel etc. is a must.
The Voigtlander Ultron 21mm f1.8 is a stellar lens. Big, yes - but it is a fast 21 and thats the price you have to pay. Very even across - very limited edge fall off.
The wooden sculpture at Jericho Beach. One day I should read up on it and see what it represents. Keep forgetting to do that .
Rolf and Ingo discussing the meets of the Jupiter 12 35mm f2.8 in screw-mount at last weeks Camera Club Meeting.
Not really fond of the blown out sky but somehow (despite my many years at this game) I didn't think about it. FP4 souped in Pyrocat HD.
5x7 FP4 film. Part of an ongoing series of shots with fabric and objects around the house. Well, sort of. I didn't just happen to have a little chick and a glass eyeball sitting around...
Was not too concerned about ruining a single roll but I got pleasantly surprised. Hopefully the UN54 turns out this good. Hopefully clear up the pinhole problem with UN54
5/5
Another street corner - another cafe'.
I think that one of the perfect kits for wandering around is a M2 and either the Skopar 35 f2.5 or the 40mm f1.4. Small, light, unobtrusive and damned good. Combine it with a "forgiving film like the Double X or Orwo's 74 - life is good.
Test was simple - go to Granville Island, shot some stuff, eat an almond croissant and have a coffee - and look at the paraphernalia for sale to the tourists. I do one or two meter readings and and adjust as I see fit.
Shot on Foma 100 film with Bronica ETRSi, Zenzanon 150 PE, 1/125 sec exposure at f 5.6 or so... Developed in Pyrocat HD for 12 minutes @ 20°C, presoaked for 2 minutes
Sprout Lake Community Centre - great library, though most of the visitors were hanging out at the computers, but this girl was firmly ensconced in a chair and reading. There might be hope for the printed word still.
Rollei Infrared with Hoya R72 filter exposed at about EI 3 (1/4 second exposure at F16).

English Bay with Vancouver Island in the back ground. At some time in the future it will serve as a bumper for the tsunami when the Big One hits us.
Dragged out the Zeiss Opton 85mm f2.0. It is aliens designed for the Contax RF and there is a slight "shift" in the focus between the Zeiss Contax and the Nikon Rf.Here you can see it quite clearly. This is at f2.0 and the closest focussing distance. It works well when stopped - the "shift" is absorbed by depth of filed. A bit of a "clunker" as lenses go - alloy barrel which picks up scratches quickly.
