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!

this little japanese gem set me back about $30 (200 norwegian kroner) on the market just up the street. the miranda sensomat re has an interchangeable finder system, which means that i can remove the viewfinder and insert a waist-level finder or a magnification finder (a “critical focuser”, capable of magnification up to 15x, for back-in-the-days microfilm photography, hoho!). interchangeable finders on 35mm cameras are a bit rare and is usually found in medium- and large format systems. the lens that came fitted on this one is a 50mm 1.8 ‘auto miranda’. quite fast i’d say. you can read a little more on the miranda over at camerapedia.org. also, while i shoot and develop a roll or two with my new found friend, check out a few miranda sensomat images on flickr. see ya!
