Speaking of film (and delurking--sort of), I got the opportunity to shoot a reenactment of the Battle of Manila (WW2 1945). I pulled out my MX and an old Vivitar 100-300/5 TX and shot with Ilford HP5 and Kentmere 400. Since I knew I would post process my shots to look old, I decided to 'skip' a step and start off with film. It was only in the middle of the battle when I ran out of film that I switched to my K-5 because I did not want to miss anything reloading my camera.

His roll of films were processed with homebrewed paRodinal (which he mixed up for a high school science project; I used ID-11 for mine). He was using an MZ-M (aka ZX-M) then switched to my K-7 when it started raining in the latter part of the event. http://www.flickr.com/photos/khalil710/sets/72157633112482619/ We toned our photos in PS differently so they would not look alike. -- Bong Manayon http://bong.manayon.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
