Shooting and developing Kodak Technical Pan film

The second part of my adventure with Kodak Technical Pan. TL;DR: I shoot the only roll of Technical Pan I’ve had in Zenza Bronica GS-1, and developed it, despite having no Technidol, its designated developer.

Adventures with Kodak Technical Pan film

I was given a roll of Kodak Technical Pan film, which expired in May 2001. I’ve been keeping it in the fridge for a decade, and just now decided it’s time to finally put it to good use.

Film development mix-up

Yesterday evening, I developed two rolls of KosmoFoto Agent Shadow, 400ASA film, 17:30 min in Rodinal 1+50, minus some time for 22°C. Perfectly uneventful, both rolls turned out just fine. But I wouldn’t write a blog post about uneventful development…

Price update for Kentmere medium-format films

It’s been some time since the announcement; new Kentmere films have arrived in the European shops. My initial speculation about the price was around 6€ for a roll, so it wouldn’t be able to out-price Fomapan films. I was almost right – prices are closer to 7€.

July update: new scans

After a few years of hiatus, I’ve dug up my flatbed scanner, Canon CanoScan 8800F, the only working scanner I have that can scan medium format film. It needed some maintenance, all four glass surfaces needed a thorough cleaning, and I had to remember how to use a flatbed scanner – I haven’t been using it almost since the day I bought a dedicated 35mm film scanner.
