In appreciation for an act of kindness that warranted no reward because I did it because it was the right thing to do… I was rewarded. With Acros film no less. 2 rolls. I can not turn down Acros.
But there was an issue. I had not bought Acros since I realized it did not play well with Cinestill df96.
I knew there was risk involved because it was not listed on the Cinestill df96 film list. Worth a try. Had better luck with other films that were not listed.
So what to do this time? As stated in Part 1 I am hooked on developing my own film, but not interested in trying another developer.
Yeah. I know there are other options I could try. But I do not want to. There are too many films that do work well. I could just pay to have it developed… But paying $10 to develop a free roll of film? Nope. To the internets!
And a potential solution was found. I lost the tab so I can not give credit but I read a comment that said that if you doubled the development time it would clear the haze.
Cool.
For roll 1 I went to a rock solid camera and lens to test this in part 1.
And it worked. Much better than prior attempts with Cinestill df96. For roll 2 I decided to go all out and use the same camera and lens used for the first photo above.
Or my favorite film system as I have stated in the past on my blog and when I was a KEH contributor. Once again success. Here are my keepers from the roll.
Welp. That is roll 2.
These Zeiss lenses never disappoint. A large part of why I still maintain that the Contax G film system is my favorite.
Happy capturing.
