Living and working in London's iconic East End. Rekindled my fondness for film photography and home development. Dabbler, definitely 🤔🤭

Thank you G. I'll describe it as serendipity 👍🏽😄

Thank you for your responses. I’ll have another attempt this evening with a 120 film that is unimportant (in case it’s the chemistry or a noob error on my part. I’ll also try to get the chemicals warmer to try to hit 39C more consistently.

A cocktail instead is always a good choice. 👍🏼

Absolutely fantastic, @georgeg.bsky.social - I think my favourite is the multiverse (? - actually, an apt description) iconic power station photo. 👍🏽

I'm sure I have some lying around 🤔 no, this isn't as many as I know I have. There must be a couple of #Zorki, definitely a #Zenit, a #Penti ... #smena8 #praktica #lubitel #helios #pentacon Back in the #CCCP 🛰️⚒️🟥

I love my little gold Penti II, but I am done with the rapid cartridge system. Clearly, it was a solution looking for a non existent problem 🤔🙄🤣

All in a single afternoon. Far too clever for my own good 😊🤣

Knowing nothing about this, but unless it's ortho, does the clear vs red window make a difference with the backing paper?

Always happy to oblige 😄, Nicky.

I bought this about four years ago with the intention of developing that Vision 200T - I don’t see an expiry date, so I’m going to assume it’s still going to be fine if I do get around to experimenting with it 👍🏼🤩

Bless you @paulasmith.co.uk - that's a shot of me where I don't think I look too shabby. I love this composition. You are a genius 🥰

So winding the film on, got to the lead-in to shot 1 (where the 35mm film is taped), and the film snagged and ripped the backing 🙄😞 After faffing and fettling, rescued some shots. Pure coincidence that it was 127 day yesterday, zero artistic merit, but I will be ready for the next 127

The negatives look OK, I treated it as Foma 400 120 and developed according to massive dev with HC110 1+31. During the pre-soak (and the dev and stop too) there was a vivid emerald green colour coming out of the tank. The edge of the negative says “ULTRA 400”.

I love the reflection in the puddle (perhaps "lake" would be a more appropriate word for that body of water 🤭) 👍🏽

Turner-esque, but the "Thanes" was a surprise 🫢🤣

Mine was in the back of the cupboard with the other chemicals. The 'test' of the Rodinal and FD10 - develop offcut film leaders - were complete failures. Hopefully, I will 'master' HC110 development 🙏🏽👍🏽🤣

You decide 🤣 I am just paranoid after the loss of the two films to the Rodinal that no longer works.

🙏🏽 thank you Charlotte! I was leaning towards Fomapan, so you have convinced me.

IKR. It was the PN919 plastic fantastic ultra wide clone. 👍🏽

True. Unfortunately, it looks like the same story with the HC 110 (exp 2022) and FD 10 (exp 2021) 🤣

Thank you for this. This is undiluted Rodinal, 1 minute. I'm not sure if the picture shows it, but I can see through the 'developed' dots to see the text on the bottle.

All the film was completely clear, so the Rodinal is clearly exhausted. In fairness, it was manufactured in 2019, open for at least four years or more and the colour of the dilution was Tizer, so with hindsight I should have done a test before bunging two rolls through it 🤣

So I need to bin the Rodinal then? It did have a very large layer of something gloopy at the bottom of the bottle, which I probably shouldn't have shaken up 🤣
