scroll down to content posts posted on 11 1 2026 i was so sure owning dozens of cameras is a beautiful thing but it has its dark side sometimes you simply lose track of which stage of delusional ambition your various projects are in for quite a while i ve had a personal vendetta against adox cms 20 ii it s a film you either worship or curse there is no middle ground my results so far have been a rollercoaster of inconsistency only vaguely hinting at those legendary technical charts promising resolution from another planet but i knew the film had it in it and i was absolutely certain that i had a roll loaded and ready to go an expedition through my own apartment finding a specific film in my household isn t a matter of glancing at a shelf it s a full blown tour of the premises my collection is organically stored everywhere from display cabinets to random corners where cameras are just resting i performed a tactical sweep of dozens of bodies hunting for that one specific canister i wasn t wrong there it was tucked inside my fujica st 901 through the little window on the back that unmistakable canister color and the label promised me a miracle the dial was set to iso 25 the absolute floor for the fujica s auto exposure i knew i was about to dance on the razor s edge of what the film and the machine could handle grey reality and the optical triple threat the weather outside was frankly miserable a sky the color of wet concrete flat light and a biting 12 c not exactly the day for epic landscape photography so i settled for some indoor calisthenics to make this battle with adox more interesting or perhaps just to suffer more i decided to test the souls of three very different lenses helios 44 2 58mm f 2 a lens with a personality so big it doesn t care about mtf charts smc takumar 55mm f 1 8 a mechanical jewel of pure precision vivitar 28mm f 2 5 by kiron a wide angle brawler with a very specific bite the oh no moment i burned through a few of my typically boring compositions and feeling like a total pro retreated to the darkroom loading the tank is pure muscle memory my hands do the work while my brain is already dreaming of the perfect developer temp i didn t expect any surprises because i was so sure but as i was winding the film onto the reel in total darkness my fingertips hit a snag a literal one i felt adhesive tape at the end of the roll the exact tape i use when i m bulk loading metered film into recycled canisters in that split second the cold truth hit me adox cms 20 ii doesn t come in bulk rolls with my messy taping technique my absolute certainty evaporated into the pitch black air inside that world s sharpest film canister was an impostor decision time in the dark i stood there in the dark reel in hand doing frantic mental math in my bulk stash i only have two suspects kodak 5222 double x at iso 250 or kodak pan 2484 a high speed beast that can hit iso 3200 and there i was having exposed the whole thing at iso 25 to add insult to injury i had even used an old metz 45 ct1 flash just to give it some juice while i thought i was being a master of fine grain precision i likely had a roll in the tank that had been nuked with 3 3 ev of overexposure the fancy adotech iv developer went back into the fridge if it was the 2484 the film was toast a solid black strip useful only as a black belt for my camera bag if it was double x there was a slim chance of a rescue mission via a drastic pull process chemical alchemy i skipped the ansco 130 i didn t trust the glycin to hold those screaming highlights rodinal was out too the grain would have looked like gravel i settled on a modern classic 510 pyro extreme dilution 1 200 22 minutes and a chilly 17 c i was praying that the famous pyro stain would act as a safety net for my blown out highlights the result a victory over arrogance when i pulled the film out a massive weight lifted not only were the negatives scannable they were actually good enough for the enlarger my boring photos turned into a testament to just how much abuse a professional cinema stock can take if you know how to apologize to it in the darkroom fujica st901 helios 44

pyro shots 2 3 smc takumar pure contrast one with the metz one in flat daylight detail for days shot 4 vivitar kiron bounced metz the dynamic range is honestly shocking given the overexposure shot 5 the face off direct flash to the face from 0 5m at iso 25 on iso 250 film instead of a white nuclear blast i got a textured moody portrait shot 6 smc takumar long exposure clean stable and perfect i was sure this whole mess was going in the bin instead i learned that a little chemical luck and the sheer tank like resilience of kodak double x can save you from yourself next time i ll label the damn canister but then again where s the fun in being right all the time mic the fool on the hill 2 posts navigation page 1 page 2 page 55 next page proudly powered by wordpress
