Darkroom Print 3 Hot Rodded Pentacon Six by Nokton48, on Flickr

Back in the day this was the hottest Pentacon Six to be found anywhere. I sent a pair of these bodies to Pentacon in Dresden and they upgraded them to full Exakta 66 MK2 mode. The body was then covered with "Rollei SL66 Anniversary Diamond Rubber" which I procured from the Rollei factory. The Strap Lug Attachment was made for the EX66. Photograph made in my studio by direct flash. Hasselblad 100mm F3.5 Planar, 70mm Kodak Surveillance Film, processed in ADOX Borax MQ. Silver B&W print on RC paper

Been a while since my last post here.
Still playing with 70mm. Managed to find couple cans of quite interesting stock.
That's iso 400/800/1600/3200 dev hc110-b if I remember correctly

Is that Kodak WL Surveillance Film? I have a lot of that, I shoot it like the Tri-X of Olde. Works great.

Like this one again.

Kodak 70mm Surveillance Test ADOX Borax MQ by Nokton48, on Flickr

Playing with the 4490 and some old processed Surveillance film. This film is super high speed in ADOX; I would say EI 800 maybe the way this was developed.......... Hasselblad 500C/M Kodak 70mm Surveillance Film ADOX Borax Developer.

I'm lucky to have piles of that WL surveillance film stashed away too, but the one above is different similar to current tmax p3200

Tech Stuff from Kodak on WL Surveillance Film. I use it like Olde Tri-X, looks about the same to me.

Paterson Olde Tanks Converted to 70mm 24 Exposure Reels No Leaks by Nokton48, on Flickr

I converted these two 120 Paterson Reels, expanding the width, so they will each hold a 24 exposure roll of 70mm film. The large tank holds two rolls of 70mm film, with room for a 35mm roll on top. None of these tanks LEAK. I tested the big one extensively, rolling on a Unicolor Uniroller, and it dosen't drip at all. I've been using these tanks recently again, they are all working really well for me. And I built them from parts I already had around, so repurposed the reels to work easilly with 70mm film.

I've recently processed a 70mm/120 roll, of hand reloaded Kodak High Speed Infared 2424, purchased from David Romano, back in the Olde days. So the other day I used D19 Straight, my fave go-to from extensive shooting of 35mm Kodak High Speed Infared, with red filtering of course. This is 70mm Infared, cut down and repackaged by David. Negs look very interesting, shot with Kiev 60 with 30mm Arsat Fisheye. After all this time the latent image remains awaiting development.

I have 150 feet of this 70mm Type 2 Perfed, unopened at this point. I found that the heat from your fingerprints, will leave black fingerprints all over High Speed Infared 4x5. So I always put on Neoprene Gloves to handle the Infared film stocks.
