Notes on 35mm film, cheap cameras and walking around with them.

Pushing Tri-X two stops

Shot a roll at 1600 on an overcast afternoon. Developed in HC-110 dilution B for 11 minutes. Grain is heavy but the shadows held better than expected.

A rangefinder for $40

Found an old fixed-lens rangefinder at a flea market. New light seals, a fresh battery adapter, and it is now my everyday camera.

Scanning with a phone

A light pad, a macro clip and a bit of patience gets surprisingly usable scans. Notes on holding the film flat are below.
