Marseille - Tmax périmée 1989 - Parktica et Helios 44m 4

L'une de mes 1ère pellicule dévelloppée "maison", au printemps dernier, je viens à peine de la scanner.. T Max périmées en 1989 avec un Praktica FX3 et un objectif Helios.

J'ai voulu testé la technique du "stand developement", puisque c'était la plus simple pour débuter : rodinal dilué à 1 pour 100, y laisser la pellicule 1 heure sans toucher, c'est tout ! Puis fixage normal. Il parait que ca  marche avec n'importe quel film, pratique lorsqu'on ne sait pas comment developper un film..

Svema 100, expired in 2002, with a Praktica FX9 and Helios 44m 4

Here is a try with an old Ukrainian Svema film, Svema 100 expired in 2002, it supposed to be one of the last Svema batch but the legend say that they might still producing films, well i have to investigate :-)

I used my old Praktica FX9 SLR, a chest level viewfinder camera, with an helios 44m-4.

Certo SL110, 24x24 frame with expired Orwo film

Hello,
Here a new message about a great old eastern German camera i just got last mounth from Ebay : Certo SL110, very cheap 80's style, all plastic but quit solid and very cool looking

The particularity of it is that it doesn't use normal 35mm film but SL Cassette which is the communist version of the Agfa Rapid system, an old discountinued format of film. Actualy you can use SL cassette in an Agfa Rapid camera and vice versa.
Not realy easy to find but easier than agfa Rapid films...Only Orwo, the former Eastern German film plant produced them untill the late 80's, only black and white films were available, I've got many of them , first i thought it was normal 35mm ORWO films and got very surprised when i open the box the load my Praktica FX3. So, to use this stock of film films i had to buy that Certo SL camera........


What is cool about this Certo SL110 is that it shoot 24x24 mm pictures, with a 12 exposures film you can get 16 exposures!
Here are the results :
