Konica MG, Kodak Vision2 500T @1000, Fomadon LQR

[iangreenhalgh1]

I was interested in trying to push the 500T to the max ISO setting of this camera for low light shooting.

Seems the film is perfectly capable of very nice results pushed to 1000 but the MG metering isn't upto the job, some of the shots were underexposed while others were exposed perfectly, trying to fix the underexposed ones ran into grain issues. Also, the results aren't so sharp, the MG is nowhere hear as sharp as the Konica A4.

It may not be as sharp as some but it has a nice glow to it in the highlights of some of these shots. I really like the Laundry room one !

Cheers Erkie. I'm going to get some copper tape so I can put my own dx markings on the reloadable canisters then I can try shooting this film in the A4, see if it is sharper, the A4 is razor sharp so if there is any softness, it will be the film, although I have had very sharp results from the film with my Konica Hexanons so i suspect it's just the MG.

8-10 and 18 stand out for me. 18 especially. 8 has great tones and contrasts.

15 and 16 look off. Did you post-process them for sharpening? There's nothing wrong with that in my book, but those both look a little off like the sharpening may have been overly assertive for the images.

Cheers David.

They are all sharpened, I think 15 and 16, bad light and not so accurate exposure played a part.

Damn nice tone curve you got there - that saw is positively grungy! And I mean that in the best possible way

Cheers, the MG wasn't that accurate in exposure so I had to play with the results, which partly accounts for the funky tones.
