Schneider Krueznach Symmar-S 135mm
I've had a lot of problems with CatLabs X 80 film. This is a technical test to see if its a matter of developer choice. (FX-37 is NOT a good developer for this film) Exposed at 25 ASA gave a good negative, but 40 ASA could have been sufficient with the right development.
This sheet was processed in D-76 1:1
Lens used was a badly damaged Schneider f2.8 105mm Xenotar lens made for a much smaller format. 1 second at f5.6
I love the way this damaged Xenotar renders on 4x5. I think the lens is meant for 6x9 cm formats, so it doesn't fully cover 4x5, and the swirly distortion at the corners is quite beautiful.
Study of some coyote skulls for current project. B&J view camera, CZJ 135mm f/4,5 Tessar, 4x5 Foma 100 w/Pyrocat HD (first time trying this developer!). Quick n' dirty phone "scans."
Can't decide which I prefer. Both look cool to me. Very pleased with the tones I got with the pyrocat. Lighting was a cheapie LED panel.
Igor.
