Another one, same era, early to mid 80s Kodak Ektachrome 400, 1/125s Olympus OM-1 body mounted at Cassegrain focus of Criterion Dynamax 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope… …so essentially a 2,110mm f/10.4 mirror lens on an OM-1 body

One from the back catalogue! Probably early to mid 80s. When I was young and foolish (as opposed to old and foolish) and could stand cold nights! The constellation Cassiopeia. Kodak Ektachrome 400, 5 minute guided exposure. Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 and Olympus OM-1 mounted piggyback on a telescope...

I found these Classic Camera Revival podcasts, in which Alex Luyckx participates, good: Don't drink the Rodinal part 1 - Kodak D-76/Ilford ID-11/Kodak D-23; Kodak Xtol; Kodak TMax Don't drink the Rodinal part 2 - Kodak HC-110; Rodinal; Pyrocat-HD Don't drink the Rodinal part 3 - Cinestill...

:agree::plus1: This is a favourite thread, it’s lovely to see all the different styles, subject matters and techniques.

That would be my guess too, and looks like the 'other' Ilford aren doing much with the IP. Current Ilford Ilfocolor offerings (looking at Ilford Japan) seems to be a mix of C41 Vintage Tone (which may be Orwo / Wolfen NC500 (produced by Inoviscoat or what is left of them) and ECN2 Cine Tone...

I got mine! Also dated September 2025.

5 rolls heading this way, currently somewhere within the Royal Mail.

I liked the examples in the reviews by Shaka1277 and Shoot Film Like a Boss. Looking forward to trying it out once I'm through my winter supply of 12 rolls of Vision 500T and can mix up another batch of C41 chemicals.

I think for some people the grain could be a feature as it is obviously film rather than digital.

As far as Harman is concerned this probably isn't an option. They only have the right to use the Ilford name for black and white so I'm guessing that the rights and intellectual property in the old Ilford colour films went to the other Ilford (Iford Imaging) when Ilford went into receivership...

In the grainydays review the two Harman R&D chaps he spoke to they indicated that they had a number of issues they wanted to work on. What's really great to me is having another manufacturer in the game, I've seen a lot of depressing comments over the years that by the end of the decade colour...

Apparently not when cross processed as E6, this chap (Shala1277) speculates that technically it might have a close similarity to slide film. The colours don't work for projecting but are fine if scanned.

With the weather here you could just sit it outside on the window sill!
