I put a new set of light seals on the FM2 and repaired the lever. I also repaired the Lunasix 3s in the image (very easy repair).
This is the first frame of the first film processed from it after the repair. Processed in HC110 as before and using T-Max 400
Incredibly satisfying! Even though I missed a sunny day doing this and processing. Once again – a very low resolution scan. I need a clean scanning area!
Trying to print the images is difficult! I hoped to create an almost “cut out” feel to these swan images but fell short. Never mind first couple of films – and a lot of fun.
I am having difficulty getting negatives to be the density and contrast range I want. Low light images, in particular, are difficult to get to a density for scanning. I may try other developers/concentrations. Also, I have been using 400 asa film – shall try some finer grain film now.
