First images at last.

[Guest]

Well, I processed my first four rolls of BW yesterday in about 23 years.
Here are some of the first two rolls. The weather was not kind at all when we were on vacation up in Whistler BC.
One point of mention is that the image of my wife sitting reading was taken hand held at a half a second, wide open with a deep breath on my part.
The quality of this old Super Ikonta is incredible, the detail I am getting from a Nikon 8000 ED and these large neg's is well beyond what I thought possible.

Congrats! Very nice indeed. Love the sharpness in the landscapes.
What film and what soup mixture?

Perceptol at 1 to 1 with FP4 rated at 80 ASA. The shutter speed was 1/100th for all but the 1/2sec one.
The slower 1/100th does make a change because I took some Hasselblad images and they are not as cooked when taken at 1/125th as the Ikonta.
After all it is a quarter more exposure at the slower speed.
I have more rolls to do and am looking out for how the filters I took and used show color change.

Congratulations-they look really good.

The landscape with the fog and mountains is really nice. The one of your wife reading just shows what practice and care will get you. Thanks for sharing.

Just received my Moskva-5 today and hope to put a few rolls through it soon ( around Whistler no less).Suddenly it's great weather out here on the wet coast.Too bad you got here for the coldest spring we've had in 50 years.I just know I'm gonna love this old Commie folder!
