Ilford FP4+ in Rodinal, Konica FT-1 with Hexanon 4/21

[iangreenhalgh1]

This is my favourite film camera/lens combo by far:



I liked it so much I bought an original Konica strap for it and it comes on every shoot with me:



I've shot a few rolls of C-41 in it but this was my first roll of BW, expired Ilford FP4+ developed in the kitchen sink, Rodinal at 1:50 dilution, 18mins at 20C, washed under running tap for 5 mins instead of stop bath then fixed for 35mins in homebrew sodium thiosulphate fixer. Scanned with Epson Perfection 3200, some have had a slight tweak of the contrast as I like my BW contrasty.

I love this series. I am already a big fan of your landscape photography, but it hadn't crossed my mind you'd do such fabulous townscapes. Art aside, they're a great set of documentary images of your town. I think you should give a set of prints to the town archives. Can you imaging discovering this set in a hundred years time? Pure gold

Cheers for the kind words. Knowing how little care has been taken to preserve the documents they have I'd be wasting my time, they have lost or thrown away almost everything, sadly.

I got bored of landscapes and HDR but of course I will return to it, I am also going to try shooting some landscapes on 120 film too.

2,7,13,19, and 24(great choice of subject for the 21 wide) are my faves. Excellent work, yer
off and running!

Cheers, I'm just beginning to learn how to exploit the 21mm, I love the perspectives it can give.

Now I've got started with this film lark there will be no stopping me, I get such pleasure out of the whole process, much more satisfying than digital shooting.

[Katastrofo]

That's what I've found, compared to digital. There's no moment like when you pull the negs from the
spool after developing.
