An update for my #believeinfilm gang: I got out and shot a home-rigged roll of Kodak Imagelink HQ microfilm in a medium-format camera, and got it developed in Rodinal 1+100. The photos turned out much better than expected, but film flatness and positioning are what I need to improve *a lot*. 😅

Zagreb's Bundek Lake, August 2026.

Zenza Bronica GS-1 medium-format camera, 120 film back. Zenzanon-PG 65mm F4 lens.
Kodak Imagelink HQ microfilm expired in 2004; shot at 12 ASA, developed in Rodinal 1+100, 60 min, semi-stand process.
Scanned with a Plustek OpticFilm 8100 scanner, stitched from 3 parts.

No exposure adjustments, left tilted as the film strip moved; just cropped a bit.

Hey #believeinfilm friends, any ideas for what EI to shoot expired Kodak Imagelink HQ microfilm at? The Internet says "the usual" – 12 ASA. The plan is to shoot the test strip in Bronica GS-1 and develop it as Kodak Technical Pan in FX39II. 🤔

Vjerujem ti, ali nemam više živaca za aktivno pratiti preko nekoliko mreža - Twitter/X ima Elona, pa nema mene. 🤷‍♂️ Opet neki moj princip, imao smisla ili ne.

I shot a roll of Fomapan 200 in Zenit 11, with dead light meter. I've developed it in FX-39II, 1+19 dilution, at ~21.5°C. Scanned with Plustek OpticFilm 8100. Although the camera isn't without issues, it's working sufficiently well. I'm pretty happy with the results!

Eight-storey high, modern-looking residential building with multiple balconies, a lot of windows staggered across the building. Two top floors look slightly different. There's a uniform-looking, business building peeking behind, and a patch of grass field in front. Black and white film photo, with visibly unedited borders.

E da, Climb Dance. Leđenderi. Previše je tih non-religious-religious fotki za mene, od Cape, Adamsa, Egglestona i Edgertona preko Gallija, Vatannena, Mäkinena, Blocka, do puno previše glazbene fotografije. Zato, samo jedna, ovako usred odgovora.

Okej, osobno bi postavio automobilistički vrhunac koju dekadu kasnije, ali shvaćam i cijenim ideju, and I'll take the ball. '57 'vetta je lijepa, ali francuzi to rade ipak bolje. (Albert Camus je poginuo u sličnom)

Džamonja made the Monument to the Revolution, it's an impressive piece. He was a true Yugoslavian - Serbian ancestry, born in Macedonia, spent most of his life in Croatia, where he died in 2009.

Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina or simply Monument to the Revolution (Croatian: Spomenik revoluciji naroda Moslavine or Spomenik revoluciji)[1][2] is a World War II memorial sculpture by Dušan Džamonja, located in Podgarić, Berek municipality, Croatia. The monument stands about 10 m high and is 20 m long. It is dedicated to the people of Moslavina during World War II.

I got this bad boy, and while it's not a chainsaw, it is doing a damn fine job, I can recommend it wholeheartedly - it'll slice through surprisingly thick branches like a lightsaber.

Not quite the same shade of titanium plastic cameras I plan on using. All bangers based just on the color alone! 😁

I can't remember when was the last time I had to *heat* the chemistry to 20°C! 🥶 Two rolls of Fomapan 200 are ready, Rodinal 1+50 and the rest of the chemistry is heating up, let's get this film developed. (Not my usual live-development thread, but I'll keep it updated, regardless)

Two late 1990s film cameras, silver-black Pentax MZ-5 with Sigma AF Super-Wide II 24/2.8 lens and Pentax MZ-S with smc Pentax-FA 50/1.4, two rolls of Fomapan 200 films in front, and a AP film developing tank in the background.

Totally forgot to post a photo or two! It's not a lens natively designed for FourThirds sensors, so it isn't as sharp and it's bigger than needed, but when it works, it works beautifully! Full size on Flickr: flic.kr/p/2qpvwJP, flic.kr/p/2qpvwJJ.
