Post your photos taken with the Hexar AF

Jmanivelle, can I ask what film and developer did you use for he jeep/lady/mountain shot that was based on? Did you agitate your tank or swirl?

benji77, was shot on TriX about 10 years ago. I reckon I did process it in a regular developer . Swirl AFAIR.

:rolleyes:. I should explain why I am asking.

I really dig the 'roundness' of the grain, how it is sharp, but at the same time has this 3D effect in the details such as the rock and the scarf she is wearing. I have seen this in Helenhill's developing, which i cannot seem to replicate. The closest I got was when I went back to 'inversions', rather than swirling.

It could be due to key factors like film type, method of agitation and developer temperature.

I love it!

I used to look for info about developing, which lens, etc, when I saw a shot that had qualities similar to the ones you describe but now I tend to think it's more to do with the subject, composition and lighting. If it was down to the glass and processing then you'd expect to get the same or similar effect almost every shot which never really happens. These factors no doubt contribute but I don't see them as the main culprits any more. Now, having said that, the 35mm f2 Hexanon is a really special lens!
 
Mixed feelings about the Hexar, not a fan of the shutter or how disconnected you feel taking a shot, but its so damn fun to run a roll through it, it feels very familiar, and the lens, of course.

This is very true. Its difficult to explain how I see the qualities in these sort of photos, but it has that essence that stands out for me. It could be just down to the quality of the light and overall composition.
