Yesterday my house was burglarized while I was at work, about $1000 in cash and personal
items plus $300 damage to the door jam and sill plate to the back door--so to take my mind
off of that shit tornado, decided to try the Isolette today. This is using Fomapan 100>160 and
I tried Rodinal stand 1:125, 55 mins, 18C. Will try something else with this film, next time. 
and the camera, posted before in another thread

Paul and BD, thanks for the commiseration, fellas. Actual cash was only $53, the personal
items are totalling over $1000. I have insurance through my military bank (covers up to $300
cash, you could be dishonest and claim the max) and am covered up to $30,000 in household
items. It's just the runaround, getting copies from the police of the case file for both myself
and the landlord (I want a metal plate door jam this time), and some items will not be easily
replaced.
Klaus, if you're reading this, your box is safe, all items are there, was hiding on a small table
behind the back door, thief missed it, and looks like he was in a hurry. My house looked like
a tornado went through it. He wasn't into photography, or maybe he was and thought my little
bits were beneath him, left them alone. lol Enough of that.
I'm encouraged by this Isolette, will try color film next time, either Reala or Fuji 400H. Got the
camera from Simon (Wintoid) on another forum and he did a topnotch job with the packing as
it had to come across the pond from GB.
Thanks again. |

Sorry to hear about the burglary and I was also thinking of you at a boot sale the other week when I played with a Ilford Sporti that worked and they wanted £3 for it, well I didn't buy it as unlike you, I just couldn't own a camera that had "Sporti" showing 
Good start with your shots maybe they could be sharper in later ones.

Ah, shit, Bill, sorry to hear that. I hate and detest thieves.
The way I see it, the sods have just stolen hours or days of my working life, time that involved sweat and pain to pay for the items they stole.
A suitable punishment would be an equitable amount of sweat and pain.
Bastards - lucky there's no guns allowed here, else I'd have likely plugged a couple of bastards this time last year, and then I'd have been in the shit.

Excal, thanks, I'll try to do better, but keep in mind my mistakes are my style,
so don't expect much. 
Attila, thanks, in my home state of Idaho it used to be justifiable homicide if intruder is in the
house. In the 70's the cops used to joke that if you shoot the intruder coming through the
window, be sure to pull him on through before they get there. lol
Tony, thanks, hope to have better results next time.
The thief did make off with a couple of my digital point and shoots, but luckily I had the Oly XZ-1
with me. |

Dave, sorry I missed your post, still in a daze over this, some stuff will definitely be hard to impossible to replace. Turns out it must be
a pro gang doing this as they hit a gated community down the road pretty hard, wondering what their security was doing when this was
going on.
fun times

Damn, that's an efficient destruction of a door jamb. Sorry for your losses... Good thing understanding film cameras and being a burglar no longer go together.
I do notice some very fine detail in the Isolette shots... very fine

Jussi and Skida, thanks, I'm encouraged by the Solinar lens, and the RF patch is
easy on the eyes, no squinting.
Have to go the police station today to pick up the case file, door won't be repaired for
another 2-3 days. |

So sorry to hear about the robbery, Bill.
And glad that only were material things but you are safe.
Hope you have some insurance to be able of forgetting the incident really soon.
Regarding the Isolette pics, I like them all very much. They have a kind of vintage look, probably the long developing time and the concentration of the developer... One of these daya I have to try it
Looking forward for more Isolette samples.
Jes.

That sucks, sorry to hear about it.
If they're carrying crowbars then they're guaranteed to get inside the house.
I didn't truly inderstand the phrase "locks are for honest people" until the time I helped a buddy move to a rented house. We sat there for 3 hours waiting for the landlord to show up with keys. At last my bud lost his temper and started rummaging for his toolbox. He came back with a crowbar, and we forced that door in about 5 seconds. He bent out the doorframe juuust enough for the deadbolt to clear the frame, and I tugged the door wide open. We left a tiny little scratch on the frame, you'd never notice unless you looked for it.

Sorry to hear the bad news Bill.
Interesting results with this combo. I use Foma and Rodinal @ 1:50 so I was surprised at the difference you seemed to get.
This is my Isolette ii with Apotar lens:

Jes and Fuzzy, thanks, gents.
Martin, those photos are a thousand percent better than mine! Is this Fomapan 100 souped to 21 minutes?
I was thinking about that dev, dammit. Part of my problem was I had my meter set on 320 to finish the roll
in the Karat IV and when I'd remember, would halve the shutter speed when shooting the Isolette. Clearly,
I remembered only part of the time. |
