Hi and thanks. I used Acros 100, rated to between 100 and 200, a yellow filter, and developed in Caffenol-C-M. Scanned on an Epson V500, postprocessed in Aperture where I adjusted white and black point and levels only. I try not to do anything after scanning that cannot be replicated in the darkroom.

I started recently shooting MF. I bought a used Hasselblad 500C/M. The thing is heavy and slow to operate, but I'm loving the results!

My first attempts with Shanghai GP3, given to me for a favour. Quite nice it turned out to be too, Caffenol-C-M(RS), 12min @ 20C. Flexaret Va.

VERY NICE I would say, nice grey tones and super sharp!

++++1.

Amazing sharpness. Did you use on a tripod?

Those are really nice, Ezzie/Silent1

Thanks people. I'm surprised that this cheap Chinese emulsion is as good as it is. At least in Caffenol, I haven't tried it in other developers. There's more grain than with e.g. TMX, which is to be expected, but its nature is more pleasing. The detail its able to capture is much better than I expected, as is the tonal range it displays.

As to sharpness, no I didn't use a tripod, I didn't want to draw attention to myself. All shots are handheld at 1/60 @ f11. I tried a couple at 1/30, and they were more of a hit an miss affair. The Belar lens (Tessar clone) is surprisingly sharp. My soon to arrive Rolleiflex Planar will have to show its mettle to keep the Flexaret out of the day-bag.

I picked up a Fuji GSW 690 for 100 bucks. I did not even realize the lens was the 65mm f5.6 until I got home. The body is so brassed the GSW is gone. I got lucky. Everything works great. I searched the net and found that a 65mm focal length in the 6X9 format equates to 28mm on 35mm film. Here are some mundane photos. I am impressed with the contrast and sharpness.

Its amazing what a hundred bucks can get you these days. Well done.

Flexaret Va again, this time with TMX loaded. Caffenol-C-M(RS)

Laaarge medium format from my 6x17 DIY camera. Excuse the banding and other scanning artifacts. I had to put the negative onto the glass, as my V500 doesn\t have holders for anything bigger than 6x12.
