Lots of old cameras I own need all kinds of tape to keep it all together. Especially the really older ones. I have a huge selection of tapes🙂
Just back from two day trip to the underwater Aquarium in Newport Kentucky. I took my fave SRT100 with 58mm MC F1.2 lens, fully tricked out with original hood, Minolta UV filter, Eyepiece Diopter LOL, original SRT Eyecup, and TomA Silver Softie Release, with my black hairtie trick. Eight rolls of bulk loaded HP5+ rated at EI 1600. Very low contrast and low key, dramatic spotlighting here and there. 1/60 and sometimes 1/30 used exclusively. CLC metering flawless. Much more fun than shooting with Cellphone. Exposed five rolls at 1600, now how best to push two stops? Years ago I gave old Tri-X 50% more time for one stop, doubled development time 2X for two stops. Hard to overdevelop pushed film. When in doubt give it more in my book LOL. Do have some Microphen I bought a few years ago, my present go-to is D23 1:1 like the simplicity and also the results. Ideas Welcome for pushing!
Interesting fun self assignment. Challenging after all these years. Have five rolls to push to 1600 prolly in Paterson System 5, will spin five rolls together on a Unicolor Uniroller. As I did when I was seventeen years old. Minolta SRT100 was bought brand new with 55mm F1.9 MC Rokkor in 1973. An old friend
