Yes! One roll this week. After some 7 years working in Loondon my boss
is returning back to his home country, Germany, to becomea lecturer in
Leipzig, so we went out one evening for a trip on the London Eye and a
meal... And maybe ten rolls in October, from my holiday in Japan.
Really must get around to posting a GESO or more PESOs of that!

move I'll get back to film processing, but haven't decided whether I'll set
up my enlarger again. I spent the last 10 years scanning and printing
massive quantities of black and white professionally, so the transition for
my personal work would be technically easy but remains an artistic question

Am looking forward to shooting lots of bulk black and white- probably Tri-X.
A fun way to revisit my early days in photography.

So what did you mean to imply by that?

If you meant that it looked like a lot of work ...
The BW workflow I listed generally takes about 2-3 minutes per photo  
to complete once you understand what you're doing (I have it about  
80% scripted and can process 1000 RAW files to a default BW  
rendering in about half the time it takes to process one roll of  
negatives), and you have more options to start with.

It's much more difficult and more time consuming to process and print  
a roll of BW film to equal quality standards.

Markus Maurer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

The Optima 100 I've bought is mostly for daylight work. 

I normally use ISO 400 for the night stuff to keep exposure durations
with the Noblex  (i.e  camera running times, approx. 10 times the actual
exposure) down to a max. of two hours at f8 or 30 minutes with the 617
at f22.  

The Optima 100 and 400 cope astonishingly well with mixed light
situations. Recently, the usual combination of fluorescent and sodium
vapour has been made even more complicated by the advent of xenon
lighting and the Optima is the least problematic film to scan if all
three varieties are present, even better than Portra. 

I also like the Agfa colours for normal daylight work. 

Besides, it is available dirt cheap, here. About 1,40 for Optima 100 and
1,00 for Optima 400 if its bought in batches of 100 films. 

Other than that I use Portra 160 and 400 when I can get hold of it on
ebay.

My experiences with Fuji (NPS/NPH) have been far from satisfactory in
night photography. Far more halation probs than with Agfa or Kodak.

 Is there any color negative film slower than ISO100 available in Germany?

None that I know of but no prob for me. With 612 and 617, grain just
isn't a major concern.

 is Agfa the best ISO 100 film for your night shots or do you use different
 brands?

The Optima 100 I've bought is mostly for daylight work.

I normally use ISO 400 for the night stuff to keep exposure durations
with the Noblex  (i.e  camera running times, approx. 10 times the actual
exposure) down to a max. of two hours at f8 or 30 minutes with the 617
at f22.

The Optima 100 and 400 cope astonishingly well with mixed light
situations. Recently, the usual combination of fluorescent and sodium
vapour has been made even more complicated by the advent of xenon
lighting and the Optima is the least problematic film to scan if all
three varieties are present, even better than Portra.

I also like the Agfa colours for normal daylight work.

Besides, it is available dirt cheap, here. About 1,40 for Optima 100 and
1,00 for Optima 400 if its bought in batches of 100 films.

Other than that I use Portra 160 and 400 when I can get hold of it on
ebay.

My experiences with Fuji (NPS/NPH) have been far from satisfactory in
night photography. Far more halation probs than with Agfa or Kodak.

 Is there any color negative film slower than ISO100 available in Germany?

None that I know of but no prob for me. With 612 and 617, grain just
isn't a major concern.

I've processed about 50 rolls of black  white this year, and gotten 
developed about 30 rolls of slide film.  I've also shot thousands of 
frames in digital, too.

One roll of HP5, processed in ID-11, but no prints made yet!  It's hard to 
set up the enlarger in the kitchen without being unsociable (i.e., telling 
my wife to go to bed).
