Nowadays, and interestingly, analog photography in rich of novelties and many new formulations of films by reputed industries are appearing on the market. I grabbed a couple of rolls (only 24-exposure length was available) recently from my local photo store of the novel Kentmere Pan 200 from Ilford Harman Technology Ltd, UK. The film integrate the Kentmere line of products with the yellow color between the Kentmere Pan 100 (cyan color) and the Kentmere Pan 400 (magenta color) with an intermediate sensitivity of 200 ISO. The emulsion is coated on a 0.125mm thick regular cellulose tri-acétate base, uncommonly very clear without the traditionnal grey or blueish anti-halo mask.

 

On July 19, 2025, Lyon, France. I used a year-1973 Canon F-1 picked up from my camera collection and its standard lens Canon FD 1:1.4 f=50mm for testing the film during a gentle photowalk in my district. The lens was equipped with either a Canon 55mm Skylight protective filter or a yellow generic filter plus the Canon original shade hood BS-55.

 

Frames were exposed following the Canon F-1 build-in light meter system that is, for the Canon F-1, a very clever semi-selective metering in a central rectangular zone visible within the focusing screen. The Canon F-1 is still perfectly operant with just a slight correction of +0.3 EV due to the voltage difference of today batteries (see below the details about the camera). I also used my external Minolta Autometer III either with its 10° selective viewer or the opalescent dome for incident metering.

After completion at view Nr. 25, the film was rewound normally and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal developer (identical to the original Agfa Rodinal in its formula of 1891) prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 10 min at 20°C according to indication found at www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php .

 

Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.

 

The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.4, 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

  

About my Canon F-1 :

 

The Canon F-1 is a very impressive 35mm SLR constructed by Canon company to surpass, in the early 70’s, the Nikon F system, well established at that time as one of the most reliable and widely recognized within the photographers community. Canon F-1 is constructed like a rock to resist to intensive uses especially for professional appliances. The Canon F-1 is an amazingly sturdy camera, weighting a lot (1.4 kg in working configuration with the 1.4/50mm lens). The protective half shoe of the ever-ready bag is made of a leather covered on a rigid metallic shell weighting around 150 g !

 

I got my Canon F-1 SLR camera from an eBay seller in Hamburg, Germany, on April 21, 2022. The camera came with its original storage box, the original neck strap (never used,) the complete ever-ready leather case, and a Canon FD 50 mm 1:1.4 standart lens. The body is stamped "N1129" (in the film cartridge magazine) indicated that the camera body was manufactured in Japan in November 1973. The lens is stamped "M1011" on the row baffle indicating a construction in the Canon factory in October 1972.

 

The camera was used very carefully with almost no sign of age. The photometric circuitry needs, as most of te SLR of that time, a 1.31V mercury oxide battery that I replaced by a Kanto MR9 adaptor for a Seiko 1.55V SR43W silver oxide battery used in horology. The Kanto adaptor rectify to 1.45V the voltage of the battery. The cell operates will little +0.3 EV compensation necessary between EV 8 and 14 , compared to my Minolta Autometer III on a 18% neutral-gray chart or the internal battery test of the Canon F-1.

 

Later, I completed the Canon F-1 with two complementary original Canon FD lenses : the FD 1:2.8 f=28mm and a FD 1:2.8 f=100 mm. I found as well the Canon flash shoe adapter with the integrated illuminator to enlighten in the dark the Canon F-1 metering indicator appearing in the viewfinder.

 

I took a walk to Alty, this afternoon. Bitter cold, but nice.

I decided to use a camera that I had not touched for over twenty years, and a lens that I last used in 2006. The fully Mechanical Nikon FM2 and my Nikkor AIS 20mm F2.8.

I also chose a film that I had never used before, a niche cult emulsion called Ferrania P30 rated iso 80.

It is an Orthopanchromatic motion picture emulsion, apparently much loved by the old Italian masters of the cinematography. Vittorio De Sica, and Federico Fellini have apparently shot their cult movies on this emulsion.

For me, this is one tricky, unforgiving emulsion, particularly as I chose to develop it in a highly active devloper, HC110 dilution E, rather than Kodak D96 that was designed for this sort of film.

The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.4, 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

  

About my Canon F-1 :

 

The Canon F-1 is a very impressive 35mm SLR constructed by Canon company to surpass, in the early 70’s, the Nikon F system, well established at that time as one of the most reliable and widely recognized within the photographers community. Canon F-1 is constructed like a rock to resist to intensive uses especially for professional appliances. The Canon F-1 is an amazingly sturdy camera, weighting a lot (1.4 kg in working configuration with the 1.4/50mm lens). The protective half shoe of the ever-ready bag is made of a leather covered on a rigid metallic shell weighting around 150 g !

 

I got my Canon F-1 SLR camera from an eBay seller in Hamburg, Germany, on April 21, 2022. The camera came with its original storage box, the original neck strap (never used,) the complete ever-ready leather case, and a Canon FD 50 mm 1:1.4 standart lens. The body is stamped "N1129" (in the film cartridge magazine) indicated that the camera body was manufactured in Japan in November 1973. The lens is stamped "M1011" on the row baffle indicating a construction in the Canon factory in October 1972.

 

The camera was used very carefully with almost no sign of age. The photometric circuitry needs, as most of te SLR of that time, a 1.31V mercury oxide battery that I replaced by a Kanto MR9 adaptor for a Seiko 1.55V SR43W silver oxide battery used in horology. The Kanto adaptor rectify to 1.45V the voltage of the battery. The cell operates will little +0.3 EV compensation necessary between EV 8 and 14 , compared to my Minolta Autometer III on a 18% neutral-gray chart or the internal battery test of the Canon F-1.

 

Later, I completed the Canon F-1 with two complementary original Canon FD lenses : the FD 1:2.8 f=28mm and a FD 1:2.8 f=100 mm. I found as well the Canon flash shoe adapter with the integrated illuminator to enlighten in the dark the Canon F-1 metering indicator appearing in the viewfinder.

 

Nowadays, and interestingly, analog photography in rich of novelties and many new formulations of films by reputed industries are appearing on the market. I grabbed a couple of rolls (only 24-exposure length was available) recently from my local photo store of the novel Kentmere Pan 200 from Ilford Harman Technology Ltd, UK. The film integrate the Kentmere line of products with the yellow color between the Kentmere Pan 100 (cyan color) and the Kentmere Pan 400 (magenta color) with an intermediate sensitivity of 200 ISO. The emulsion is coated on a 0.125mm thick regular cellulose tri-acétate base, uncommonly very clear without the traditionnal grey or blueish anti-halo mask.

 

On July 19, 2025, Lyon, France. I used a year-1973 Canon F-1 picked up from my camera collection and its standard lens Canon FD 1:1.4 f=50mm for testing the film during a gentle photowalk in my district. The lens was equipped with either a Canon 55mm Skylight protective filter or a yellow generic filter plus the Canon original shade hood BS-55.

 

Frames were exposed following the Canon F-1 build-in light meter system that is, for the Canon F-1, a very clever semi-selective metering in a central rectangular zone visible within the focusing screen. The Canon F-1 is still perfectly operant with just a slight correction of +0.3 EV due to the voltage difference of today batteries (see below the details about the camera). I also used my external Minolta Autometer III either with its 10° selective viewer or the opalescent dome for incident metering.

_________________

*** The Fontaine Bartholdi is a fountain sculpted by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and realised in 1889 by Gaget & Gautier. It was erected at the Place des Terreaux, in Lyon, France, in September 1892. On 20 April 1857, the Bordeaux city council decided to hold a competition to create a fountain for Place Quinconces. Frédéric Bartholdi, then aged 23, won the contest. However, the city hall of Bordeaux decided not to carry out his project. After Bartholdi had made the Statue of Liberty in New York in 1886, the mayor of Bordeaux contacted him, but his new project was canceled after much hesitation. It was finally achieved in 1888, but it was deemed as too expensive and therefore was sold to Lyon. It was unveiled as part of the Exposition Universelle (1889). The fountain was eventually put at the Place des Terreaux and is currently still there.

The fountain depicts France as a female (Marianne) seated on a chariot controlling the four great rivers of France, represented by wildly rearing and plunging horses, highly individualized but symmetrically arranged, with bridles and reins of water weeds. The fountain weighs 21 tons and is made of lead supported by a frame of iron and was presented at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. It has been classified as monument historique since 29 September 1995.

The photometric circuitry needs, as most of te SLR of that time, a 1.31V mercury oxide battery that I replaced by a Kanto MR9 adaptor for a Seiko 1.55V SR43W silver oxide battery used in horology. The Kanto adaptor rectify to 1.45V the voltage of the battery. The cell operates will little +0.3 EV compensation necessary between EV 8 and 14 , compared to my Minolta Autometer III on a 18% neutral-gray chart or the internal battery test of the Canon F-1.

 

Later, I completed the Canon F-1 with two complementary original Canon FD lenses : the FD 1:2.8 f=28mm and a FD 1:2.8 f=100 mm. I found as well the Canon flash shoe adapter with the integrated illuminator to enlighten in the dark the Canon F-1 metering indicator appearing in the viewfinder.

 

Nowadays, and interestingly, analog photography in rich of novelties and many new formulations of films by reputed industries are appearing on the market. I grabbed a couple of rolls (only 24-exposure length was available) recently from my local photo store of the novel Kentmere Pan 200 from Ilford Harman Technology Ltd, UK. The film integrate the Kentmere line of products with the yellow color between the Kentmere Pan 100 (cyan color) and the Kentmere Pan 400 (magenta color) with an intermediate sensitivity of 200 ISO. The emulsion is coated on a 0.125mm thick regular cellulose tri-acétate base, uncommonly very clear without the traditionnal grey or blueish anti-halo mask.

 

On July 19, 2025, Lyon, France. I used a year-1973 Canon F-1 picked up from my camera collection and its standard lens Canon FD 1:1.4 f=50mm for testing the film during a gentle photowalk in my district. The lens was equipped with either a Canon 55mm Skylight protective filter or a yellow generic filter plus the Canon original shade hood BS-55.

 

Frames were exposed following the Canon F-1 build-in light meter system that is, for the Canon F-1, a very clever semi-selective metering in a central rectangular zone visible within the focusing screen. The Canon F-1 is still perfectly operant with just a slight correction of +0.3 EV due to the voltage difference of today batteries (see below the details about the camera). I also used my external Minolta Autometer III either with its 10° selective viewer or the opalescent dome for incident metering.

Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.

 

The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.4, 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

  

About my Canon F-1 :

 

The Canon F-1 is a very impressive 35mm SLR constructed by Canon company to surpass, in the early 70’s, the Nikon F system, well established at that time as one of the most reliable and widely recognized within the photographers community. Canon F-1 is constructed like a rock to resist to intensive uses especially for professional appliances. The Canon F-1 is an amazingly sturdy camera, weighting a lot (1.4 kg in working configuration with the 1.4/50mm lens). The protective half shoe of the ever-ready bag is made of a leather covered on a rigid metallic shell weighting around 150 g !

 

I got my Canon F-1 SLR camera from an eBay seller in Hamburg, Germany, on April 21, 2022. The camera came with its original storage box, the original neck strap (never used,) the complete ever-ready leather case, and a Canon FD 50 mm 1:1.4 standart lens. The body is stamped "N1129" (in the film cartridge magazine) indicated that the camera body was manufactured in Japan in November 1973.

The film integrate the Kentmere line of products with the yellow color between the Kentmere Pan 100 (cyan color) and the Kentmere Pan 400 (magenta color) with an intermediate sensitivity of 200 ISO. The emulsion is coated on a 0.125mm thick regular cellulose tri-acétate base, uncommonly very clear without the traditionnal grey or blueish anti-halo mask.

 

On July 19, 2025, Lyon, France. I used a year-1973 Canon F-1 picked up from my camera collection and its standard lens Canon FD 1:1.4 f=50mm for testing the film during a gentle photowalk in my district. The lens was equipped with either a Canon 55mm Skylight protective filter or a yellow generic filter plus the Canon original shade hood BS-55.

 

Frames were exposed following the Canon F-1 build-in light meter system that is, for the Canon F-1, a very clever semi-selective metering in a central rectangular zone visible within the focusing screen. The Canon F-1 is still perfectly operant with just a slight correction of +0.3 EV due to the voltage difference of today batteries (see below the details about the camera). I also used my external Minolta Autometer III either with its 10° selective viewer or the opalescent dome for incident metering.

_________________

*** The Fontaine Bartholdi is a fountain sculpted by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and realised in 1889 by Gaget & Gautier. It was erected at the Place des Terreaux, in Lyon, France, in September 1892. On 20 April 1857, the Bordeaux city council decided to hold a competition to create a fountain for Place Quinconces. Frédéric Bartholdi, then aged 23, won the contest. However, the city hall of Bordeaux decided not to carry out his project. After Bartholdi had made the Statue of Liberty in New York in 1886, the mayor of Bordeaux contacted him, but his new project was canceled after much hesitation. It was finally achieved in 1888, but it was deemed as too expensive and therefore was sold to Lyon. It was unveiled as part of the Exposition Universelle (1889). The fountain was eventually put at the Place des Terreaux and is currently still there.

The fountain depicts France as a female (Marianne) seated on a chariot controlling the four great rivers of France, represented by wildly rearing and plunging horses, highly individualized but symmetrically arranged, with bridles and reins of water weeds. The fountain weighs 21 tons and is made of lead supported by a frame of iron and was presented at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. It has been classified as monument historique since 29 September 1995.

After completion at view Nr. 25, the film was rewound normally and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal developer (identical to the original Agfa Rodinal in its formula of 1891) prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 10 min at 20°C according to indication found at www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php .

 

Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.

 

The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.4, 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

  

About my Canon F-1 :

 

The Canon F-1 is a very impressive 35mm SLR constructed by Canon company to surpass, in the early 70’s, the Nikon F system, well established at that time as one of the most reliable and widely recognized within the photographers community. Canon F-1 is constructed like a rock to resist to intensive uses especially for professional appliances. The Canon F-1 is an amazingly sturdy camera, weighting a lot (1.4 kg in working configuration with the 1.4/50mm lens). The protective half shoe of the ever-ready bag is made of a leather covered on a rigid metallic shell weighting around 150 g !

 

I got my Canon F-1 SLR camera from an eBay seller in Hamburg, Germany, on April 21, 2022. The camera came with its original storage box, the original neck strap (never used,) the complete ever-ready leather case, and a Canon FD 50 mm 1:1.4 standart lens. The body is stamped "N1129" (in the film cartridge magazine) indicated that the camera body was manufactured in Japan in November 1973. The lens is stamped "M1011" on the row baffle indicating a construction in the Canon factory in October 1972.

 

The camera was used very carefully with almost no sign of age. The photometric circuitry needs, as most of te SLR of that time, a 1.31V mercury oxide battery that I replaced by a Kanto MR9 adaptor for a Seiko 1.55V SR43W silver oxide battery used in horology. The Kanto adaptor rectify to 1.45V the voltage of the battery. The cell operates will little +0.3 EV compensation necessary between EV 8 and 14 , compared to my Minolta Autometer III on a 18% neutral-gray chart or the internal battery test of the Canon F-1.

 

Later, I completed the Canon F-1 with two complementary original Canon FD lenses : the FD 1:2.8 f=28mm and a FD 1:2.8 f=100 mm. I found as well the Canon flash shoe adapter with the integrated illuminator to enlighten in the dark the Canon F-1 metering indicator appearing in the viewfinder.

 

Nowadays, and interestingly, analog photography in rich of novelties and many new formulations of films by reputed industries are appearing on the market. I grabbed a couple of rolls (only 24-exposure length was available) recently from my local photo store of the novel Kentmere Pan 200 from Ilford Harman Technology Ltd, UK. The film integrate the Kentmere line of products with the yellow color between the Kentmere Pan 100 (cyan color) and the Kentmere Pan 400 (magenta color) with an intermediate sensitivity of 200 ISO. The emulsion is coated on a 0.125mm thick regular cellulose tri-acétate base, uncommonly very clear without the traditionnal grey or blueish anti-halo mask.
