These two photographs belong to the first part of the 220 TXP 320 film developed in Microdol X full strength shared between the 3.5F Planar and the SL 66 Distagon 4/80 (the explanation is below ). The first one represents a little story you can read in the caption: http://www.flickr.com/photos/itarfoto/4907072682/ The second one is more evident: http://www.flickr.com/photos/itarfoto/4906484453/ Carlos 2010/8/17 CarlosMFreaza <cmfreaza@xxxxxxxxx>: > After to have success using 220 film with the 'cord IV and 2.8C (2 > different methods), I had pending to try another method suggested to > me that did not require complete darkness at the middle of the roll > and loaded the 3.5F Planar with a Kodak 220 TXP 320 film: after to > take 12 frames you advance the film up to its end as usual and then > you start the film again from the paper covering the film end; I did > it and removed the band for the exposed film to avoid problems, the > film feeler mechanism perceived the film start and the counter > advanced from 0, however before to reach the number 1 the film advance > mechanism was jammed by the film, I don't know the reason but it was > jammed. I decided to rewind the film in the darkness and to use the > other 12 frames for the SL 66, its magazine has a lever to change the > counter from 12 to 24 exposures without to change the pressure plate > position (works like in the TLR).
