And while we never got into the studio as much as we wanted, we figured in the final episode of our season we should safely gather with three meters between each other to bring you the season finale. And like the holiday season that is upon us, there are lots of leftovers and our team has been busy through this past year and have some last thing to bring to the table for the show.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 94 - Leftovers\" height=\"122\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/xhmrc-f54c7a?from=pb6admin&#038;download=1&#038;version=1&#038;auto=0&#038;share=1&#038;download=1&#038;rtl=0&#038;fonts=Helvetica&#038;skin=1&#038;pfauth=&#038;btn-skin=107\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Olympus OM-2n<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nIf you remember at the beginning of our season, we had Lori Brooks on the show to talk not only on her camera building but also the Olympus OM system. And in true CCR fashion, the GAS hit Alex hard and he managed to score some inexpensive OM cameras, the OM-1n and the OM-2n. The OM-2n became a fast favourite as another compact SLR system with a near bulletproof metering system. The direct film plane metering combined with excellent optics that have a great snap to them, the OM-2n will be a standard camera for future reviews of films and developers.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/50251167601\/in\/album-72157661488973661\/\" title=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 94 - Leftovers\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50251167601_3620a50a93_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 94 - Leftovers\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Camera Specs<\/strong><br \/>\nMake: Olympus<br \/>\nModel: OM-2n<br \/>\nType: Single Lens Reflex<br \/>\nFormat: 135 (35mm), 36x24mm<br \/>\nLens: Interchangeable, Olympus OM-Mount<br \/>\nShutter: Electronic Focal Plane Shutter, 120\u2033 \u2013 1\/1000\u2033 (Automatic)\/1\u2033 \u2013 1\/1000\u2033 (Manual) + Bulb<br \/>\nMeter: 2x Silicon Blue Cells for Direct Film Plane metering + 1x CdS cell for manual exposure.<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: 1975-1979 (OM-2), 1979-1984 (OM-2n), 1984-1988 (OM-2SP)<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/50583472287\/\" title=\"Optical Review Blog No. 13 - Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 1:3.5 f&#x3D;28mm\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50583472287_47159f04cb_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" alt=\"Optical Review Blog No. 13 - Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 1:3.5 f&#x3D;28mm\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olympus OM-2n &#8211; Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 1:3.5 f=28mm &#8211; Ilford Delta 400 &#8211; Ilford DD-X (1+4) 8:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/50478738051\/\" title=\"FRB No. 74 - Adox HR-50 - Roll 01 (Adox HR-DEV)\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50478738051_50f7d054b2_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" alt=\"FRB No. 74 - Adox HR-50 - Roll 01 (Adox HR-DEV)\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olympus OM-2n &#8211; Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 1:2.8 f=35mm (Yellow-12) &#8211; Adox HR-50 @ ASA-50 &#8211; Adox HR-DEV (1+49) 11:00 @ 22C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/50240504497\/\" title=\"Ferguson\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50240504497_6d6df1532d_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" alt=\"Ferguson\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olympus OM-2n &#8211; Olympus F.Zuiko Auto-S 1:1.8 f=50mm &#8211; Rollei Retro 80s @ ASA-64 &#8211; Ilford Ilfotec HC (1+63) 12:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Minolta X700<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nOne camera that Bill has been working with more this past year is the Minolta X-700. The X-Series from Minolta came after they split ways with Leica so in the 1980s they expanded their line and produced a series of plastic fantastic cameras. The X-700 provided full auto-exposure like the previous XD. The X-700 is a full AE camera with semi and manual operations built-in so to allow full use of all functions you will want MD style lenses. MC&#8217;s will work but you are limited to Aperture priority and Manual only. Despite the plastic construction, the camera is solid and well built. However, the electronics due suffer and it is known to have some failures in resistors. Thankfully they can be had cheap these days and often easier to replace rather than repair.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/25821220625\/\" title=\"Camera Review Blog No. 34 - Minolta X-700\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1458\/25821220625_95fdf2acb7_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Camera Review Blog No. 34 - Minolta X-700\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Camera Specs<\/strong><br \/>\nMake: Minolta<br \/>\nModel: X-700<br \/>\nType: Single Lens Reflex<br \/>\nFormat: 35mm, 24\u00d735<br \/>\nLens: Interchangeable, Minolta MD Mount<br \/>\nShutter: Electronic Horizontal Travel Focal Plane Shutter, 4&#8243; &#8211; 1\/1000&#8243; (Automatic), 1&#8243; &#8211; 1\/1000&#8243; (Manual) + Bulb<br \/>\nMeter: 2x SPD TTL Metering, EV1 ~ EV18 @ ASA-100, ASA-25 &#8211; ASA-1600<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: 1981<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/funwithcameras\/50063246271\/\" title=\"Flying the Maple Leaf On the Shore June 2020\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50063246271_2df7aec1de_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"697\" alt=\"Flying the Maple Leaf On the Shore June 2020\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Minolta X-700 &#8211; Minolta MD 50mm 1:1.7 &#8211; Kodak ColorPlus 200<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/funwithcameras\/50034562456\/\" title=\"No Trains Along the Metrolinx Corridor\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50034562456_d08f27d4c8_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" alt=\"No Trains Along the Metrolinx Corridor\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Minolta X-700 &#8211; Minolta MD 50mm 1:1.7 &#8211; Ilford Delta 100 &#8211; Kodak HC-110 Dil.

Ultrafine Extreme film is sourced from a mysterious company (which we believe is Harman Technologies). For an inexpensive film, the results speak for themselves, despite the price, the quality is certainly not reflected in the price. You can get the film in two flavours, ASA-100 and ASA-400. But the one developer that John loves Extreme 400 in is Pyrocat-HD. Pyrocat-HD, in a nutshell, is a modern version of a century-old developer formula. Pyrocat-HD came out in 1999 and developed by Sandy King. And while less toxic than other Pyro based developers, you still don&#8217;t want to drink it. It is a compensating developer that offers up the best of sharpness and fine grain while imparting a stain on the negatives that do help with darkroom printing. Pyrocat-HD comes in two parts that are usually mixed in a 1+1+100 dilution, the regular stuff lasts about a year (but can last longer) a glycol version has a three-year shelflife.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pyrocat-HD Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nManufacture: Sandy King<br \/>\nName: Pyrocat-HD<br \/>\nPrimary Developer: Pyrocatechin, Phenidone<br \/>\nType: One-Shot<br \/>\nMix From: Liquid<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultrafine Extreme 100 Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nType: Panchromatic B&#038;W<br \/>\nFilm Base: Acetate<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-100, Latitude: 50-400<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, Medium (120) Format<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ultrafine Extreme 400 Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nType: Panchromatic B&#038;W<br \/>\nFilm Base: Acetate<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-400, Latitude: 200-3200<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, Medium Format (120)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnmeadowsphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/07\/500cm_uf400_0010.jpg?w=768&#038;h=769\" alt=\"Light filtering through Trees\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnmeadowsphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/07\/500cm_uf400_0007.jpg?w=768&#038;h=780\" alt=\"Three staggard trees\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Bergger Pancro 400<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nThroughout the year Bill made a point to find the sweet spot for Bergger Pancro 400. Unlike the previous Bergger film, BRF400, which is reloaded ORWO N74, Pancro 400 is an original emulsion. While a little more grain than similar speed films out there, the grain is pleasing. Plus there&#8217;s plenty of latitudes available on the film for push and pull. And you get some amazing tones out of the film and sweet contrast. Bill&#8217;s plan to tame the film comes in the form of HC-110 Dilution B and D-76\/ID-11 at a 1+1 dilution.
