ghostly

late night oslo, pentax me loaded with kodak 400 tmy, and ghosts.

an autumn day in two thousand and eight, holding the pentax me packed with some ilford xp2 super chromogenic film. this is also one of those b/w films that you develop in c-41 color chemicals. it’s got a bit more contrast and it’s much sharper than the kodak bw400 cn, but i like them both for their unique characteristics; the kodak has a warmth to it that the ilford doesn’t match, and the ilford is clearer and more detailed.

both of which the kodak t-max combines beautifully.

miranda sensomat re and the 50mm auto miranda 1.8 on a cold, cold january day, with some kodak bw400 cn. i was eager to see the results from this monochrome (or chromogenic) film, as it’s made to be developed in standard c-41 color chemicals – for convenience i guess. and convenient it was. i handed in the roll at a photo store in town and half an hour later it was done.

i kind of like the tones and the latitude. not too detailed or sharp, but still decent. but i’ll take the t-max or the tri-x any day.

watch this space for some ilford xp2 super photos soon – that’s another one of those handy c-41 monochromogenic(!) films!

borrowed a magnificent and severely heavy asahi pentax 67 medium format camera from a friend of mine. it sports a couple of gorgeous lenses and a macro converter. the shutter on this battletank of a camera makes the most incredible sound i’ve ever heard. it’s like a punch in the face, only it leaves you smiling.

shot on the always winning kodak 400 tx. negative photographed on a light-table and digitally inverted. i want my scanner back now.

shot a couple of rolls the same day i bought this camera. film choice based on cash available the very same day:

fuji acros 100 – got it cheap because it was expired by a few months. taken autumn 2007 using my wonderful pentax me and the vivitar 75-205 lens.

i have a thing for lonely chairs and sofas.

kodak 400 tmy. taken autumn 2007 using my ancient meopta flexaret that, unfortunately, went a little asunder shortly after this first roll got developed. the focusing lever, locked on 1.2 meters or so, fell into the camera and i can’t get the thing open.
