Three medium format frames at the Roundhouse

I was over at the Roundhouse for beers and took some photos inside.  Shown here are three consecutive frames taken with my Zeiss Ikonta 532/16 on Fuji Acros 100.  First two frames were taken with f16 @ 4 seconds.  The last shot with f5.6 @ 1 second.  Film developed in Kodak D76, 10 minutes @ 23C, 30 seconds initial agitation and two flips every minute, scanned with Epson Perfection V700.

Seagull and Shanghai GP3

It was a sunny day during Gordon, Vicky and Cailey’s photo shoot.  Ever since I got my Zeiss Ikonta B 532/16, I have been neglecting my Seagull TLR.  Here are a couple of shots from the shoot, Seagull 4A-103 TLR + Shanghai GP3 film.  Developed stand, Rodinal 1:100 for 1.25 hours, inversion first two minutes, then one turn every 30 minutes.  Fixed with Kodak Rapid Fix, scanned with Epson Perfection V700.

Looking cute!

Honestly, not too happy with the grain size, perhaps it’s time to go back to D76! Always hit and miss with these shanghai film.

Taken with Mamiya Universal + 50mm f6.3 lens + 6×7 film back.  Developed Rodinal 1:65 stand 2 hours. First two minutes agitation, then one flip at 1 hour mark.  Fixed with Kodak rapid fix.  Scanned with Epson Perfection V700.

The result was not bad at all, this photo taken on Peel St. Central, Hong Kong.
