Post Your Film Images Here

[JohnWolf]

Derek, it's interesting to see your back-to-back digital (M246) and film posts this morning. Both are very nice. In a blind test I doubt I could tell which is which medium. I shoot with a Monochrom also, but my film and digital look so different. Film and processing, I suppose.

Monroe St., Chicago | Olympus XA2 | T-MAX 400

Great shot, John! I love the contrast of the dress with the interior-design of the shop - or what it is - very nice! Very well composed too.

Erik.

 

[JohnWolf]

Thank you, Erik. I waited quite a while for someone to enter the scene. She had a bold-patterned dress or might otherwise have been lost.

I know T-MAX is your preference, but this is one of maybe two rolls I've ever shot. It's processed in HC-110.

Beautiful, karlin. You've got me thinking about the 35 Summicron.

Thanks John! what version do you think of?

Thanks John! what version do you think of?

If I were to do it, then older. Definitely pre-ASPH. Probably whatever I find for a decent price.

Thanks John.
Sometimes, I even have to check to see which is which. I use Silverfast and scan at 2400 dpi. Some LR adjustments, but usually nothing major. I normally keep a Leitz orange filter on my MM.

This really does it for me. Great exposure with the highlight on the left side of the face.

I've found that Rodinal works really well - especially with more 'modern' stocks like T-Max 100 and 400 . The sharpness and grain are very pleasing to my eye. So, to Erik's point, while Rodinal has (probably) not changed, film has gotten 'better.'

Excellent work, Jim. Beautiful rendering of skin texture and skin tones. Thirty years ago this was "normal" when working with Zeiss lenses on 120 rollfilm. So much more beautiful than digital photos.

The Kiev 66 picture is incredible. Chapeau!

Thank you, Erik. I couldn't agree more about how properly focused/exposed/developed film captures faces/skin in a manner that is much more pleasing than digital. Sure, for the kind of film/developer I use, I'll never see the kind of resolution that I could get from digital, but then again, the kind of photos that I take aren't really about capturing maximum resolution.
