Analog film photography and cameras

I have a few more that I like.

I've never made a zine before.

Trying to get back into photography after a bit of a drought, made myself a negative digitiser (using a dslr) as grappling with the scanner was always what put me off developing stuff myself.. anyway here's two from an old roll I developed and digitised today.
Camera probably Ricoh GR1v and film is HP5

Looking good!

These remind me again how "there's just something about HP5".
Can't really explain it, maybe it's got something to do with hte fact that I (and everybody around me that time) basically learned b/w photography with this particular film.
It's always a bit on the rough /raw side, honest though, maybe this is it.
I am basically trying out all the different (ISO 400) b/w films there are right now but gotta say seing photos shot on HP5 always make me feel at home.

Traditional cubic grain (Tri-X, HP5, Fomapan) vs modern Tubular grain (Delta, TMAX, Acros) I guess

Classic.

We need more care like this.

Yea that makes a difference, still it's much more than that I think.
Looking at the cubic grains Tri-X looks very different to HP5 to me for example.
I'm not familiar with Fomapan yet; actually the shot above is from my first roll.
It's also different to HP5, HP5 seems always more "gritty" to me.

I just bought some fomapan 400 for the first time. Will post some when I develop (and if I take anything nice!)

New years resolution for 2018: no more pictures of fucking mattresses.

By the way @mi7rennie this was also shot with that little Canon - saved it in the wrong folder and just found it now - might actually be the best picture of the whole roll, haha!

Cars, or care? Definitely care because I’ve just realised I forgot to crop it properly, whoooops

Haha, cars !

Yea they say the curves ramp up severely when Adox' CMS isn't developed in its dedicated Adotech developer.
I have seen very smooth pictures made with Diafine though so I gave it a shot (see picture above) but well.. think I'll have to try again, maybe be more gentle with the agitation, I don't know.

^ this is Acros 100 in Diafine by the way

^ weapon! I fucking loved my Super A and 50mm. Shot it all over the world and the only times it failed was when I'd mess up film loading ... the white rollers on the take-up spool are a bit odd. The lenses though are truly sharp.

*counts the days* :)

According to experience a lot of Berliners buy a fresh one for the new year though, so it will be insanely tempting next week when they throw the old ones out!
