1934 Leica II + 1936 Summar and outdated Fillum !

[pentaxpete]

I was given some outdated Fillum at Club last Friday - one was a 02/2004 dated 'Lloyds Pharmacy 200' which is actually Ferrania, and which i have used before. So I gave my 1934 Leica II an outing ! I rated the film at 125 ASA and metered with a Weston Master III from the 1960's I Processed in my 'Mini-Lab Fuji Hunt 'Econoneg' Developer and got good negs. I got mostly 1/100th @ f6.3 or f4.5 on the 1936 50mm f2 Summar lens. These are NOT 'Camera Club Compeition Winners' just tests.

By coincidence, I was given a couple of rolls of Lloyds Pharmacy 200 by a fellow club member recently too. I shot the first metered at 80asa to account for its age and uncertain provenance, but that was too much and they were noticeably overexposed (although I recovered them in Lightroom without too much trouble). They had a distinct magenta cast to them, so needed some work there too.

The second one is pretty impressive for fine detail Peter, and nothing untoward by way of colour cast for me.

Thanks Folks ! Same Club member gave me also a 24exp 'BonusPrint ACTIVA 400' dated 10/20005 in a crumpled box so I have loaded that one now ! I HAVE used that film before -- it looks like 'Konica' from the design of the pot. I think the huge rise in POSTAGE caused the demise of BonusPrint Lab as the Postage was costing more than what they charged for processing your films !
