It is a pity . Wherever I go , even on the highest mountain , people recognize me . I can't be alone anywhere anymore . VICTOR is always watching me .
And , the bluecast issue is still there . I will open an extra thread for that .

Simon , I am glad to see you back to the forum .
I do hope , your health state will remain stable and that we get many good contributions from you again .

....here is my fave image since i bought myself a Hassy 500 C/M a few months ago to shoot film again....its a candid shot of my sons watching TV in our living room with natural light coming in off the french windows....i saw them and scrambled out the Hassy, stuck on the 80mm, mesured the light with the Nikon I had nearby which i use as a Polaroid and shot this hand held at f4 1/125 (hence the shallow depth of field and only Sean is in focus...perhaps a mistake but hey no time to mess around before they moved).
This is on T-Max 100 developed in T-Max developer at 1+4 ratio. I shot at 100asa film speed rating as on the box. The original is 604 pixels big so its losing sharpness in this window i can see...
The second and third shots I did in our home studio....again, both with T-Max 100 film and developed in T-Max developer.....BUT the one of the older girl i shot with an old Rollei T i bought 2nd hand from Ffordes in Scotland for under £200!

I took a good look and was surprised to see Jürgen is carrying his 1600F with 135 mm Ektar.
A pity he forgot the shade!


Paul

Big applause for Jurgen and for the 1600f (without shade) of course.

I have three shades for the 135 EKTAR but they were all out for a dance .
Sorry .

It is obvious this picture was not made with a Hasselblad camera.
Both notches at the LH side are missing.





Excellent work that deserves to be seen.

thanks for that....its a bad scan actually....newton rings all over...but i just wanted to get it out there fast.....

ok since you're egging me on here are a couple more! They're all shot with the 50mm Distagon C lens (lens opens sluggishly on the 1 seconds exposure but who cares, I normally shoot with flash plus ambient)...apart from the band shot with the jumps...that's with the 80mm i think.....

Recently, I bought a Hasselblad kit from a friend of mine for £550 and started shooting film again on my paid jobs....digital and film together...in fact to save time i metre with the digital...i factor in about a third of a stop off and that does me fine.....

The kit was a metal case with a Hasselblad 500 C/M and A12 back, a sports prism, a 80mm CF, a 50mm Distagon C, a 150mm Sonnar C (silver), a 250mm Sonnar C (Silver) with a mould spot in it and, like the 50mm sluggish on the 1 secs and 2 secs as per normal with these lenses), a Polaroid back and some filters....then i also got a Rollei T with a prism from Ffordes in Scotland for under £300 and I also got a Sinar F2 with a 150mm 5.6 Schneider lens complete for about £1,000 (as new condition actually)

This was at the time i was debating on getting a Hasselblad H3D-31 2nd hand.....that would have cost me £6000 so i got a whole lot more for my money and change! Now i must admit my head's being turned by the CFV-39 hence my persistence in other parts of this great forum.

Terrific images sperera! Your use of the 50mm is excellent.


I shot this in Menindee Lakes - today there is NO water, like in so many parts of Australia now. It is where 2 of our most important river systems intersect - the Murray and the Darling. These have been seriously neglected by successive governments.

My apologies for the artifacts but it was the quickest scanned version I could put my "cursor" on.

Shot with a Planr 80mm CFE on Acros 100. The negative was terrific and printed 20" x 20" beautifully.

I am undecided if the 6x6 or cropped version looks best..... I suspect the square is best. I'll hunt around for it.

Dead trees look their best in B&W!

CRACKING SHOT MATE!!!! superb.....must look amazing as a print.....the reflections are the best....what developer did you use? Ive been using T-Max developer til that run out then i used Perceptol and am thinking that is the magic bullet as they say......

 

[sperera]

this lot is Acros in Perceptol soultion (undiluted).....but im hopping someone will tell me at 1+3 its better so i can save on it!!!! any thoughts?
