Did you take a long time (i.e. weeks/months) after exposing the rolls before developing them? This can exacerbate the problem, and when I have seen it with Ilford films in the past it was always due to this scenario.


Not at all, I developed the films two or three weeks after exposing them.

I sent the pictures to Ilford and their response was nearly instaneous! They confirmed the mottling problem and apologized for lost pictures. Fresh films will be sent to my adress.
The bad batch (nr.4602) was manufactured before those statements mentioned in links above.
Thanks to all for help!

Photographed on Rollei RPX100 film (probably closely related to Kentmere 100) using my Kodak Six-20 Special (made between 1`937 and 1939) with the Anastigmat Special lens, bought a couple years ago for $25. (See: <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2mHW4G3" rel="noreferrer nofollow">flic.kr/p/2mHW4G3</a>)
Exposure was 15 seconds at f22. This old Kodak lens is an excellent performer, really.

Rollei RPX developed in PMK (Pyro), 1:2:100 for 10 minutes. Excellent negatives.

[austin granger]

Regarding the Ilford mottling, I experienced the same problem. It was so frustrating, I just about gave up using FP4. I'm glad Ilford is aware of the issue and will give it another chance. FP4 is such a great film.

I've only had the mottling issue on films that were either past their expiry date, or been stored in a warm location for months before being exposed and developed. Now, I use film up before its expiration date and keep it in the fridge until I need it.

I like the "glowing" tonality in the rocks. And am curious how you obtained it. Is it the orange filter (seems strange as there is no sky or colored objects in the picture)? Or is it the combination of diffused lighting plus higher-than-normal contrast in negative development and/or enlargement or scanning?

Is gear discussion permitted in this thread?

Edit: Well, I'll give it a try. Apologies in advance if this is not the right thread.

What do people use for 6x9 (and occasionally 6x12) when multiple focal lengths (65 mm up to 350 mm) are desired? I love the GW690, but I occasionally need shorter and longer lenses. I tried the G690 with 65 mm and 180 mm lenses, but the 65 mm died within 2 rolls of film. Some people rave about the Horseman VH-R because it is so light, and because it has some good native lenses. Other lenses can be adapted, though not all LF lenses work (https://jonathangazeley.com/2012/04/15/horseman-6x9-lenses/). But how do people pick an LF lens for 6x9 and 6x12 without giving up resolution on the smaller format? Would it be overly naive to just go through this list (https://www.largeformatphotography.info/lenses/LF6x12cm.html) and restrict myself to those with the least amount of excess coverage? I don't plan on using movement and tilt.

The thing that bothers me about the VH-R is that it is not that readily available. In addition, I don't buy the weight argument as the Toho 45 FX is lighter than the VH-R. In addition, the Toho is more readily available and I have more freedom in picking lenses.

To summarize: What is a light 6x9/6x12 system that has lenses from 65 to 350 mm (I am thinking ~65/100/200/350) and is easy to acquire/maintain. I have zero interest in shooting sheet film. Movements/tilt are not required.

Actually some of the rocks were orange/brown/beige in color. I used the orange filter to emphasize the difference between those and the other rocks. There was very diffused light indeed and I pushed the contrast in post process additionally.

Why not use a 2 by 3 (baby) Crown Graphic with a roll film back? I don't know if it will take a 350 mm (the bellows draw is only about 160 cm), but I use a 47, 65, 90, and 101 mm on mine. It's a relatively cheap, light choice for medium format. Lens boards are easy to make, too. They don't have to have the rimmed edges to seal the light. Flat steel is good enough.

[John Olsen]

On Mill Creek Road I found "Buck." It's a plastic hunting trophy, so no animals were harmed to get this picture. It hasn't been used as target practice yet; perhaps it's recently installed. These Wisconsin farmers are a hoot. TriX w. yellow filter, 500c/m, 80mm lens, scanned from film.

Can it shoot 6x12? Both 6x12 and a 350 mm lens are a hard must. I am willing to compromise on overall cost and on the image quality of the 350 mm on 120 roll film.

[Corran]

No it won't. Sounds like what you want is a 4x5 camera and a couple of 120 roll film backs in your preferred sizes. Everything you ask for will require some compromises and difficulty in certain aspects. If cost is not a factor, call up Chamonix and ask for a custom camera...

I shoot 6x12 occasionally on various 4x5 cameras. Never 6x9 on the bigger camera, that involves too much trouble. Instead a dedicated 6x9 camera (I also like the Century Graphic) is preferred.

[darr]

Let me know if you find a medium format camera that takes a 6x12 film magazine and 65-350mm lenses because that equation is large.
The lightest weight would be a pancake style with lens cones, except with all those lenses you want, now the weight (and cost) is more than a 4x5 field camera.

You are looking for a 4x5. Do what Bryan (Corran) suggests.
Best to you!

Alright, then I'll make the first compromise: forget about 6x9, the fuji is great at it anyway, and focus on 6x12. What is a (relatively) light 4x5 camera without it being flimsy/cheap? And how do I pick lenses that will actually deliver a high image quality at the smaller format? Do I just pick the lens with the least amount of excess coverage from this list (https://www.largeformatphotography.info/lenses/LF6x12cm.html)?

I have not experienced these marks on Ilford films unless the roll is either expired and/or been stored at room temperature (or above) for months as it approaches expiration. This doesn't happen on fresh film, stored correctly and used before its stale date.

[Corran]

I've said this before, but I've gotten that on fresh film taken into very humid conditions but not shot until a later outing. Perhaps a symptom of condensation or other negative effects of those conditions. Only certain films, most notably SFX200 and PanF+, when shot in south GA or FL. Haven't had any issues in years, but I don't shoot PanF+ anymore and I live in a less humid place now (well, normally!).

Thank you for your input. My films were replaced according to the batch number which Ilford admited was bad. Your suggestion does make sense anyway. And it applies to the above post by paulbarden too. I am going to change the purchase/storage/usage habits AND/OR intervals to minimize the risk of this happening in the future. Ilford is still my rollfilm choice number one for being reasonably priced and classic looking emulsions(FP4+ and HP5+). I still trust their QC, much more than Foma, which sadly is from my country.

Do allow me to ask you a rather technical question about that photograph.
On the left side I see a darkish band along the side of the black border.
I happen to have the same occurring not only on the left but on the right side, and sometimes on both too, but not always.
Strangely enough this happens not that frequently while traditional printing yet most of the time when scanning, wether wet- ore dry scanning.
I don't have a clue what causes this, do you?

I’m betting you’re using an Epson scanner, yes?

[John Olsen]

I’m betting you’re using an Epson scanner, yes?

Paulbarden and phdgent: Thanks for your observations.

You caught me. It's a V850. Is there an explanation there? I'm using the Epson film holder and doing dry scans. Looking at the film with a loupe just now, I think the band shows on the film, although much fainter than on the final scanned image.

I was thinking the problem was from the film being about 1mm off-center in the JOBO 1520 reel. In that case the exposed part of the emulsion can overlap the reel edge so that circulation of chemistry would be restricted at the edge. A lighter band of developed emulsion, then making a darker band on the scanned image.

Maybe I'm agitating too vigorously, or not vigorously enough? I expect this will unleash a long series of opinions describing correct wrist action during agitation.

To Paulbarden, yes mine is an Epson V750 and regardless dry- ore wet scanning, that band, which isn't sowing on the negative, is rather consistent.

Some time a go I had, on many occasions, a very thin black, somewhat ragged, line along the edge of the entire roll.

I thought that the Hasselblad film back was the cause. But after some trying and searching, I realised it didn't match the shape of the film back, as it was a little too far away from the film's edge.
Then I figure out that it must happen somewhere during one or other step of the developing procedure, as that line was showing when using the Horseman 6x9 and the Linhof Rapid Rollex 6x7 film backs too.

So I searched in that direction, and after a lot of trial and error I found that it happend during the loading on the reel.
I was using JOBO 2500 series reels then, and when I switched to the LPL SS reels, that line occurred then too...

When holding the roll of film, stripped off the backing paper, one must be very careful not to scratch the emulsion with the edge of that roll. When unrolling while loading on the reel, the film's edge can 'slide' over the emulsion and 'draw' a line on it...
Here, to my regret, my much limited knowledge of English doesn't allow me to describe this in more detailed and comprehensive wording what I am trying to say (and Google Trans couldn't help), sorry...

Anyway, the culprit is hiding in the handling of the undeveloped film during loading it on the reel, wether it's plastic or SS, and regardless it's Hp5+, Fp4+ or Tri-X...

PS: I'm am talking about 120 roll film, not 35mm nor sheets.

[paulbarden]

phdgent: I have the Epson V750 that's about 10 years old now, and early on I discovered darker bands of density would appear on some negatives when scanned. This band was NOT on the negatives. I contacted Epson to ask about it and they acknowledged that the scanner had "a software fault" that introduced this banding, but they had a modified film holder they could send me that fixed the problem. (They did send me the new film holders and they did mostly fix the issue)
Apparently what happens is that if there is a high density area on the negatives at the beginning of the scan, at either outer edge of the scan bed, it will "compensate" for the density and darken that area, but this creates a visible band. I posted an extreme example on Flickr years ago: https://flic.kr/p/rHRi9S

If you're scanning directly on the glass, you can avoid this problem most of the time by making sure the first edge of the negative the scanner sees does NOT have a lot of density.

[j.e.simmons]

I had the problem with my 750, too. I found a comment online blaming the scanner software. I solved it by using the wet scanning holder, putting a piece of anti-glare picture frame glass on top, and scanning dry.

[paulbarden]

Note that I communicated directly with Epson about the problem and they admitted there was a software issue that caused this effect under specific circumstances. It's not speculation, or rumor - Epson expressed this to me directly. I have the official PDF document Epson sent me that describes the issue, which I have attached a copy of.

I carefully louped two rolls of TriX 120 from this shoot and I can barely make out slightly lighter bands along the left side of several negatives. In fact, they were done with two different plastic reels, one 30 years old and one only ten or so years old. Thanks for your suggestion about the cause of the artifact. It looks unavoidable, but with some attention in Photoshop I can edit it out.

Strange!
I mostly scan with the Epson's wet scanning holder, wet ofcourse, and with an acetate foil over the whole lot of two negative strips of three 6x6 negatives, and still see these bands showing up.
But I will try Simmons's method next time.

PS: I wonder why they couldn't solve that "software fault"...

[j.e.simmons]

I use Vuescan and saw the problem, so I don't think its Epson scan that's the problem. Is there software in the scanner itself?

[pacviewcam]

I use Vuescan and saw the problem, so I don't think its Epson scan that's the problem. Is there software in the scanner itself?

One can only imagine what's going on between the scanner and the receiving end (computer). Thinking about it, it's easy to figure that there's probably some programmed chips n the scanner that capture the signal and turn it into something that the computer software can read and interpret. Wouldn't be surprised if this were a practical concern, being as raw luminance signal data could be just too big to send and keep the scanner scanning at the same time.

Meanwhile, it's probably a good idea to have some blank film at the end that starts the scan. Or, try leaving a little space at the end before the start of the image.

I've never used the V750, but plenty of other scanners I have used have a blank calibration area, and they warn you not to let the film intrude into that area.

[j.e.simmons]

I was scanning single sheets of 4x5 so there was no intrusion into the calibration area. The internet post I found said that light bends around the film edge and is picked up by the scanner causing the dark line. Who knows what the truth is?

[SergeyT]

With a flatbed for optimal results one has to always mask the scanned frame around the edges.

[John Olsen]

On County Road I I. TriX, 80mm lens w. yellow filter. Scanned with V850 in dry film holder. With respect to the preceeding discussion on scanning, there was no dark line along the left side on this frame. I lean toward scratching in the plastic reel as my problem, but there could be more than one cause of erratic dark lines.

I can't pass up a good mutant vehicle, and there are many of them running around Portland.
The "BUMP" sign is a skid plate. It's hard to tell from this angle, but in addition to burly tires, this Volvo had a pretty serious lift.

The Volvo is lots of fun.

Here's some craziness from my locale, a UFO on County Rd. D. It has a battery charger attached at the front, so I suppose the ETs are just stopping to get refueled.

This abandoned farm house on Sandhill Road was well marked with "no trespassing signs" so I had to use my 150mm lens. The Rollei infrared gave definition to the foliage much better than the TriX exposure.

Thad: Really like the cabin shot. That's a keeper! However, it looks like the red filter darkened the trees too much in Wind River scene without adding drama to the sky. Or was there no sun on the trees?

Thanks, John. I may have underexposed the film a little. Then I bumped up the highlights too much, and thought that it gave the photo more of an ethereal or an older photo with washed out sky look to it. There wasn't any sun on the trees also.

I've been look at these Oaks up the road from us for months, thinking I should get up here and make a photograph. So, being such a beautiful first day of October, I loaded a roll of Ilford Delta 100 into my 1930s Kodak Special Six-20 folding camera. The Anastigmat Special lens is really quite spectacular for the era (the camera was made between 1937 and 1939), especially when closed down to f16 or f22. This exposure was 1/5th of a second at f22. Every time I take this camera out to make some photos, I am impressed with it all over again.

The Delta 100 was developed in Thornton 2-Bath developer with the idea that it would deliver maximum shadow detail but restrain the bright highlights. There's a full range of tones from deep shadow to the brightest whites, and every value in between.

6x14... What camera is that? If not commercial, can you please post a picture (of the camera). Thank you.
In my eyes, 6x14 looks like the best compromise panoramic format, between 6x12 (not enough different from 16:9) and 617, a bit extreme and delicate to use properly.

I checked Google Maps and the straight-line distance measurement is about 14 miles. It feels a lot longer driving ;).

Thank you darr! I'm sure they would have preferred a carrot or something. Maybe next time I should bring them a few :).

Actually I went back this morning and they paid me no mind and stayed very far away in the field. I think the sound of the Hassy shutter made them curious the first time!

It's a great place to find photos, although it's lost a lot of it's glamour over the years, in the same way a lot of British seaside resorts did when European package holidays became affordable. There's still a run down charm about the place though and, to be fair, the local council have spent a lot of money on the seafront area.

Across the street from the old jail and courthouse were a couple of classic churches. Both welcomed my interest in their interiors and at the Congregational United Church of Christ the staff suggested climbing the ladder into the attic. I never would have thought of that! Apparently, the local theater group had shot promotional stills there for their production of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Great idea. 500c/m, 60mm, FP4 film.

This one is really inviting. The depth of field helps a lot - what's the focal length on your lens?

[tuco]

... - what's the focal length on your lens?

It's a 65mm (equivalent to 28mm FOV on a 35mm camera). The GSW690 has a fixed 65mm lens and the GW690 has a fixed 90mm.

Hope you will favor us with some images when you visit John Wayne's home town - also the location for the movie Bridges of Madison County.

Hey John,
That is at the Myron B. Hodge City Park & Campground, Sopchoppy, FL.
Nestled on the banks of the Sopchoppy River, it is a 35-acre park with a beautiful setting for camping if you ever get down this way again.
Not far from the Forgotten Coast, just down the road a few more miles.
Thanks!

Well, Tuco,
That's some next-level photography innovation right there!
Who needs a fancy tripod when you've got a trusty foot-pod?
It's the latest trend in avant-garde photography: "Sole-ful Composition." 😄
Lovely image and great footwork!

The basketball hoops with nets, which I know very little about (baseball fan), are located in Sopchoppy, FL.
At the Myron B. Hodge City Park & Campground, which to me is misleading because it is a *very* small town!
Best to you!
