Click on the play button to listen to my quick review of this new camera bag by Filson / Magnum.
Images:
One final note: the strap on the Filson bag is too short as it would be difficult to wear bandolier style in the winter with a heavy coat.
A quick example of Delta 3200 at EI 800…
A. Processed in Diafine 5 minutes in A and 5 minutes in B at 70F.
B. PMK 1:2:100 at 9.5 min at 75F. 30 sec inital inversion followed by 1 inversion at each 15 sec till completed…. and YES I do do the after bath.
For more information on PMK just do a google search or search here on Figial… same for Diafine.
These are crops from a 42″ x 42″ file. The PMK has finer grain but the Diafine is def nice as well.

Stay Tuned!
It’s a hard road being an artist in any medium – art is not free and yes it is time for a change….

Bergger BRF 400+ at EI 6400!!!!! A very low light test….. click on the image to see larger.
Development as outlined in audio:
1:100 Rodinal at 68-70F 2 Hour Stand Dev
Usable EI from 400-1600
1:50 Rodinal at 68-70F 2 Hour Stand Dev
Usable EI from 1000/1600 – 6400+
Another great alt developer is Caffenol CL… just google it and follow the directions exactly!!! Usable out to 3200 but the Rodinal version outlined above is better at the higher speeds. And you can see the grain is a bit softer but the tonal range is still crazy great!
NOTE: I meter my shadows for Zone 4 in most cases… with this film it is VERY important for faster EI’s to meter for the shadows… highlights are not a problem. Here is a video on why meter for Zone 4.

Click on the play button to here my quick review of this film.
From the FAQ page at CineStill Film
Use CineStill 800Tungsten when photographing:
– tungsten/incandescent light
– candle light
– fluorescent light
– mixed tungsten and fluorescent
– mixed tungsten and limited daylight
Avoid using CineStill 800Tungsten (or expect a unique look) when photographing:
– open shade
– cool light
– daylight overpowering tungsten
– heavily backlit images
– strong window light
– content including intense points of light (christmas lights, chandeliers, neon signs, bright windows)
Here is a difficult test shot I did… I was quite impressed and this is pushed to EI 3200!!!!!! Max usable EI in my opinion is around 6400 with a 2 stop push….
Here is a link to another movie about the photographer Vivian Maier. If you are interested you really should watch both as neither tells the complete story alone.
