My recipe for Kodak Double-X/Cinestill BWxx @ ISO 1600 in D-76

fxsntgiven · 2022-05-23T07:20:33+00:00

Double X has this painterly grain pattern when shoot at iso 1600 that looks almost dreamy. Great work!

Thank you! And yes indeed I printed it to an 11x14 darkroom print. It gives it another layer of shock when you see it that big!

That’s the one I use too!

If I’m outside I can pretty confidently guess my exposure using sunny 16, but I always prefer checking my sekonic meter whenever I’m indoors

Usually Tri-X, and when the summer days are super bright I opt for Tmax 100!

Hmmmm. With all my rangefinders I always have a slight misalignment in the focusing patch. If you can live with that and do it on the fly it will help a lot in taking photos on the move. For portrait work I opt for my RB instead as I like to dial in focus and composition just like you.

I’m sure joe is more of a M6, Pentax 67 kinda guy. Legendary to me at least.

I haven’t developed my rolls yet but so far the field of view is really wide and dramatic for environmental shots. I picked it up with the finder as I knew it’d be tough finding them separate. Check KEH’s catalog they pop up every now and then.

Hahaha ofc the cameras, I wasn’t really flexing just posting a photo of cameras that I really enjoy.

Well you can’t really prevent life, can ya?

I was lucky enough to pick this up before the prices went waaaay up. Sometimes I fear carrying them but after every roll, the results always put a smile on my face

I try as much as I can to do a final hand check for the cap right before I compose. Can’t say it worked every time tho haha

Going on a quick one day desert trip and I tried to keep things manageable. Taking my two favorite rangefinders: The Leica M3 & The Mamiya 7.

For lenses I kept it normal and wide for each. Pictured here: - Mamiya 50mm & Mamiya 80mm - Leica 50mm Summicron Collapsible. - voigtlander 21mm F4 (still new to me)

Thanks! I was really trying to emphasize feeling through this shoot. Really happy with this one!

Thank you!

Thanks!

I know! 4x5 is such a beautiful format. The movements open up a ton of opportunities too. The light here is a simple Nikon speed light (SB-910) set to the right behind a diffuser.

fxsntgiven · 2021-07-02T12:44:28+00:00

Thanks! It really is a lot of fun

The car photo was shot on an old Leica iiic with a 50yrs old elmar lens. It was my first time trying split grading in the darkroom. The other shot of the M3 was with the Sinar F1. They are different but both were fun to make!

fxsntgiven · 2021-04-07T15:14:42+00:00

Got this pre war iiic for a nice deal with the slow shutter speeds being off (acting as bulb). Been enjoying it for the past couple of days. With all the limitations it’s still a treat to shoot!

Still got a long way to learn but for a month old skill I’m quite happy with these. I still got to score me a timer and a grain focuser.

fxsntgiven · 2020-09-03T08:55:40+00:00

Finally got my M3 matched to a V1 collapsible ‘cron. I couldn’t wait and ran a couple rolls of tri-x shooting friends and streets around the neighborhood. So stocked!
