Analog Therapy: CatLABS X-Film B&W 320 + Contax G1 + ZEISS 45mm f/2.

Scroll down to content

Have been on a bit of a vintage digital RICOH GXR bender lately. As a result my analog output has dropped significantly. I decided to get out there again but my first roll of film was a user error cacophony not worthy to see the light of day. Included in this is dealing with B&W chemistry that seems past its prime. This last follow up roll confirmed it. I think the last long lasting bottle of Cinestill df96 made me more confident than it should have.

This last roll was not as clean as usual. But it made the cut. Went with a favorite camera and lens.

The film for the day was CatLABS X Film 320. Development modifications from CatLABS instructions include shooting the film at ISO 100 instead of the 200 rating since that seems to play better with my preferred developer mentioned above without any adjustments in time needed. Here are the surviving frames.
