Thanks Eric!

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 the body to Dresden and they upgraded it to full Exakta 66 MK2 mode. The body was then covered with "Rollei SL66 Anniversary Diamond Rubber" which I procured from the Rollei factory.

Photograph made in my studio by direct flash. Hasselblad 100mm F3.5 Planar, 70mm Kodak Surveillance Film, processed in ADOX Borax MQ.

Silver gel print on RC paper

Looks very nice! Beautiful camera. Does the light meter still work?

Apologize for my ignorance, what is a silver gel print?

Erik.

 

[Nokton48]

Yep everything worked when I sold them (I had an identical pair). Nice cameras but kind of delicate. Film advance mechanism was quite strange. But Hey, it worked for me. P6 lenses were wonderful but the bodies are all kind of sketchy. I took it as far as I could go, at the time.

Sorry for confusion, simply B&W RC photographic paper. Something to get started with easily!

Thank you Nokton for the explanation. Sure, RC paper is super handy.

I think the pic was taken w/ Tri-X in a Contax G1 w/ a 90 lens on Galveston Island about 20 years ago. This is a trimmed 8 x 12 full frame print on my last sheet of RC paper from a sample pack.

I wish my parents were as supportive as you are. Means a lot, Erik! Unfortunately, I’ve become addicted to the darkroom and stay in there for 4-5 hours a night now. It’s unreal how much fun it is and how challenging it can be to nail that proper exposure. This has changed the way I look at photography for the better.

I found this negative from 2016 i had never printed. The photo seemed inconsequential at the time... It's doubtful we'll see Notre Dame like this again in our lifetimes. Print on Forte Fortezo FB grade 2.

Would anybody be interested in doing an 8x10 or 5x7 swap? Or is there a thread for something like this already?
