Black and white FILM photos

I tried the black and white film quite recently. That seems to have started filming for a long time, but shot only for color and developed in a minilab.

In 2013, I first decided to try black and white film and developing it myself. It was Rollei Infrared 400. The first time was pretty good. I showed it as an X-ray developer, there is access to such reagents. The developer is very hard, contrasting, gives an increased granularity. Development takes only a minute and a half at a temperature of 35-40 degrees.

Then came experiments with types of black and white films, tried such as Agfa APX, Ilford Delta, Ilford HP5, Kodax T-Max, Kodax Tri-X. Most liked the films Kodak and Ilford, they give a good contrast and detail, although the rest did not lag far behind in this regard.

The last time I shot on the Agfa APX 100, so I'll show you what happened on this tape. There were also experiments with various filters - mostly red and blue.

Scanned with a Canon 5d camera and an Industar 50-2 lens with macro rings.

There is a great desire to make black-and-white photographs on the medium-format camera and I am slowly working on this issue. Everything rests on an expensive scanner, it slows down the process...
