This morning I finished the processing and scanning of the remaining rolls of film shot during the Toronto Film Shooters spring photowalk…Actually, there’s still a roll of Polapan 50 to be processed. Below are the selections from last Saturday. I posted some of these last week, but some have had some further retouching, namely getting rid of dust and scratches.
These were all taken with the Leica M6 and the 50mm Summicron using Rollei Retro 400S film, which is inherently contrasty, and processed in Rodinal (actually the Canadian version known as Blazanol) diluted 1:50 and processed for 22 minutes using normal agitation. The results are high in contrast, high in acutance, and while not grainy, it is not low grain.
