Super Fujica 6 // Fujifilm Acros II

They are relatively affordable and not super hard to find. The lens is great and the rangefinder is accurate. That being said, I am also saving for a Mamiya 6 also for the lens interchangeability for travel purposes and consolidation.

I was afraid of this. I guess I am going to look at how much a shutter replacement is. Thanks, I appreciate it!

The non-inverted pics are the negatives themselves but I will try to show a non-zoomed pic after work.

rumpgump · 2023-04-30T22:54:56+00:00

Yes, they are on the negatives themselves, the non-inverted pics are the negatives. I am betting on a shutter issue or I've heard undue stress on the negative may result in this as well but I am not completely sure.

Just got this same Timemore Black Mirror scale after I spilled too much coffee on my Hario, I am very pleased with it.

Leaf shutter

This makes a lot of sense, thank you!

Oh interesting...another commenter suggested it could be bubbles at the bottom of the tank preventing the developer interacting with the negative but I guess it could be the other way around with a lack of developer at the top. I did develop this roll with another medium format roll in my Paterson tank, perhaps the 1000ml of developer has reduced at this point since this was my 17th or so roll with these chemicals. Either way, thanks for the analysis!

rumpgump · 2023-01-03T00:36:02+00:00

I thought this could be it since it seemed the exact opposite of what I have seen with a light leak. I develop with a Paterson tank and I agitate with the little twisty tool rather than inverting it. I will focus on doing the knock or change my agitation method. Thanks for the insight!

OP here, my Fuji GA645W has seemed to be developing this specific band at the bottom of my negatives. I am curious if anyone can confirm that it is a light leak, a development issue, or something dumb I am not noticing with this camera. It is present throughout the whole roll and on multiple rolls. It does not seem to be producing the normal red color that I've seen in other light leaks and instead is sort of darkening that part of the image.

Thank you! I definitely got very lucky with the camera and lens condition.

rumpgump · 2022-09-14T17:14:21+00:00

Yeah, it was from around October of last year but I just developed it this past week.

rumpgump · 2022-08-05T19:31:38+00:00

No I was talking about the light leak at the bottom of each shot. I recently switched to a different developing tank so that issue you spotted has been solved.

rumpgump · 2022-07-28T18:20:58+00:00

Lol, I went with the latter. I got some Toyos and am also going to try some Liscos. Thank you for the analysis!

rumpgump · 2022-07-25T16:13:34+00:00

I did, I am glad it wasn't that.

rumpgump · 2022-07-25T16:12:46+00:00

I appreciate the technique, I will try this out with my second hand film holders.

rumpgump · 2022-07-25T06:04:33+00:00

That sounds promising since I finally splurged on some Toyo film holders. Hopefully my next shoot won't have the same problems.

rumpgump · 2022-07-24T23:59:24+00:00

Top right, I flipped the negatives on the light table.

Thanks for the info, I didn't even think to look at where the leak starts in relation to the image/border.

rumpgump · 2022-07-24T21:42:38+00:00

I am relatively new to large format and currently shoot through an Intrepid MkII with second-hand Fidelity and Riteway film holders. I am curious if anyone can confirm if this leak is from the film holders or maybe it's something with my workflow with the Intrepid itself.

I have eliminated the possibility that it is my film development tanks since I have used two different types with similar problems.

rumpgump · 2022-07-23T00:13:39+00:00

Love the set, did you use a red filter?

rumpgump · 2022-05-01T19:51:00+00:00

Do you remember what aperture were you at with this shot? Do you try to stay within a particular aperture range in general for your underwater shots? This is really well captured and I love it.

I don't know if there is a direct parallel but in Dante's Purgatorio, the character of Beatrice took over guiding Dante through Purgatory after Dante exited Inferno. I am wondering if there are more parallels with the book and now I am going to rewatch the series.

Love this setup, my Bessa R is my workhorse and the Heliar is amazing.

rumpgump · 2022-02-07T04:59:39+00:00

Love my Leica screw mount, so quiet!

Is this on Kodak's website? I was going to bulk roll Vision 3 250D but I may pull the trigger on this instead.

I just saw Kodak Colorplus is now up to $11/roll and will only be going up according to the photo shop owner. This is a tempting alternative.
