Ultrafine Xtreme Black & White Film ISO 400

Ultrafine eXtreme 400 does pretty good color, too.

Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Ultrafine eXtreme 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes. Three individual black and white frames shot through Tiffen #25 Red, #58 Green, and #47 Blue filters, respectively, then combined using GIMP to create a trichrome color image.

Wow! Looks great. If only I didn't like shooting moving people.

Thanks, wintoid! I haven't tried trichromy with non-static objects or people yet, but you can get some interesting color artifacts when there's motion in between the three filtered frames.

Nice!
I’ve just ordered a set of Hoya close up filters (+1, +2 and +4) for my FM2n 50/1.4 combo.

Any tips using these that you can share?
Thanks

Thanks, Ricoh! I haven't experimented too much yet, but the person I bought it from shared a tip with me about stacking lenses. The seller mentioned that if you combine 2 or more of lenses to get additional magnification, it is best to have the strongest one closest to the camera lens.

In any case, I'm not sure if there's a dedicated thread on the forum about close up filters, but hope you can share some results. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks you for that, dourbalistar. 👍 I’ll check the site and if necessary the www.
PS it was an eBay find at £24.99 for the set. So worth a punt I thought.

This film seems like a good match for the 50mm Summicron v3.

You have my attention!

That’s really cool!

P.S. Gimp escapes me. I’m trying.. for the 100th time.. I’ll get there!

Thanks, B-9! There are some more examples over on this trichromy thread. It's my first time using GIMP, but I followed this really good tutorial:
http://archive.brhfl.com/ph.brhfl.com/2012/09/07/gimp-trichromes/

It's not the most user friendly program, but it's free, and it works!

I have the distinct feeling your little girl and my daughter would get on like gangbusters.

Lovely family photos you are sharing!

Haha, thanks! My daughter definitely has... personality. I think it's genetic, inherited from my wife.
