Ensign Selfix 16-20, Ross XPRES 75mm f/3.5 – 1/300s, f16, – Ilford FP4 Plus rated at ISO 200
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 12 mins at 20°c.
An image from the first roll of film through a recently acquired Ensign Selfix 16-20 folding camera (which will feature in an upcoming post).
The City of Winchester is a wonderful place for a gentle wander with a camera and if you’re of a certain age you might just find yourself humming the 1966 song “Winchester Cathedral” by The New Vaudeville Band!

Another image from Expired Film Day 2022.
Results from the second roll of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 (that expired in 1998) aren’t as good as from the first but they’re still much better than I was expecting!

Nikon F-601, AF NIKKOR 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 at 50mm, 1/60s, f3.8 – Ilford HP5 Plus
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.
I did eventually track down a working Nikon F-601 (after the last one I bought expired after less than one roll…) and this image is from the first film put through it.
This Nissen hut (or at the least the remains of it) stands beside the the High Peak Trail near Cromford in Derbyshire… A lovely place to have a wander with a camera (or two).

Mamiya C330, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 – 1/250s, f11, – O.O.D. Fuji Provia RDP II 100
An image from Expired Film Day 2022.
A few months ago a pal (Hi Simon!) gave me a quantity of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 and Velvia RVP 50 slide film that had all expired in 1997 or 1998. A bit of research suggested exposing it at box speed and cross my fingers for reasonable results.
The original slides have a colour cast and are a little underexposed but nothing a little tweak in Lightroom couldn’t sort out!
