Minolta Dynax 800si, Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro, 1/90s, f11 – Foma Pan 400 rated at ISO 320
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol S at 1:9, 8½ mins at 20°c.

I’ve recently acquired a Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro lens for use with my small (but inexplicably growing!) collection of Minolta Dynax/Maxxum SLR cameras. It’s a beautiful lens but as yet I’m still to get the best out of it… more practice is called for I think!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Nikon F-601, AF Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 – 1/60s, f8, – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

I really should spend more time in my local park, it’s a lovely spot to soak up the sun and watch the world go by…

The Crossley Park bandstand dates from 1999 and regular brass band concerts are held in it during the summer months. It replaced the 1937 original that was destroyed by fire in 1997.

Nikon F-501, AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 – 1/60s, f5.6, – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

An image from my first roll of Foma Pan 200, also the first roll through a new to me Nikon F-501.

The Foma Pan 200/FX-39 II developer combination creates images with good contrast… ideal for a dreich January day!
