Those were good shots, would have been even better if you used a tripod. You are dealing with a 6X7 neg here which shows atleast three times as much resolution as a 35mm and also three times as much shake and blur at the same FL and aperture. Also the use of a red filter is overkill. It gets rid of most of the blue ligt that illuminate your shadows, so your shadows become just a mess of black with no detail. Start with a medium yellow and take it from there.
Great video, as always...i have had good and bad with both 120 n 220. Light leaks n scratches n gouges on some rolls...but then amazing grain n contrast on most picks...the 35mm gp3 is were i have most issues...but the price will keep me going back for at least the 220...
Hello! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Funny you say that as I have shot a couple more rolls since and have had a bit of a problem with the gp3! One on 127 film as well so I'm not entirely sure what's going on there... You definitely can't argue with the price of the 220 though for sure!! ☺️
Looks like an interesting film. BTW I never use a squeegee. There is always a chance of a piece of grit getting between the blades. I rinse my fingers in the final film wash and use them.
I've never had a problem with it before. I usually rinse my squeegee to make sure it's free of any dirt or grit but I don't believe I did for that particular roll 😕 it is what it is I suppose... Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Great pictures and video. I have shot GP3 in 4x5 and like it and will defiantly be trying the 120 or 220. How did you get on with loading it onto the developing tank spiral, do's the extra length make it any more difficult.
Thank you so much! Oh nice, I'd love to try it in 4x5! How did you get on with it? Honestly it was plain sailing. Didn't have any issues with loading it on at all 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting, it means a lot! All the best, happy shooting! Josh
love your shots and the vlog, question i ve started home developing B & W 35mm film fixing with ilford rapid fixer, how many uses will 1 litre mix be ok for before needing re mixing fresh?
Thank you so much! I usually use my fix for 3/4 rolls of film in one sitting and then swap out for a fresh mix. It's wise to add a bit of time on after each use. Dilute it as instructed on the bottle (1+4 for Ilford rapid fix I believe) and then try and do a few films in one go if you can. Then get rid of that after and start again for the next batch! Hope that helps and makes sense 🙂 best of luck with it! We are always here if you need any help at all 🙂
If this helps. I mix up 500 ml at a time at 1:4 (I use both 35mm and 120). The first two films I fix for 4 mins, the next two for 4 1/2 mins, the next two for 5 mins, the next two for 6 mins. I then make up a new batch. I could be conservative on the number of films. But this has always worked for me. So (if my maths is correct) I can fix 60 films from 1 litre.
Hey, I used Euro HC by Bellini for these particular rolls. I used slightly different dilutions (Dilution H and Dilution D) but the developing times remained the same at 100iso Dev times 🙂 Dilution H seemed to produce the best results and gives a lot more control with the developing as well 🙂 I hope that helps. All the best, happy shooting! Josh
Good morning! 👋. Great video, thank you :)
Hey! Thank you so much! 🙂
Love the red filter drama Josh, great portrait too!
Thank you, Richard! 🙂 I always have time for some red filter drama 👌
Really appreciate you watching and commenting as always! Hope you're well
Love the portrait. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Tony 🙂
Love the film and the stills - great portrait, I can see why you were pleased with it.
Thank you so much, it really means a lot!
The portrait is easily my favourite of the batch 🙂
Thanks again, happy shooting!

Good info here and an enjoyable video.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! 🙂
While you might be youthful and strong, hand holding a 6X7 camera with 12 asa film ( 100 + 3 stops ) is near impossible. Nice video, thanks.

@@OnlyAnalogue GP3 in 4x5 is just as nice as your 120, it's not T Max or Delta 100 quality nor is it T Max or Delta 100 price.

Hi there, can I ask which developer you are using and the developing times for the varying ISO?
Hey, I used Euro HC by Bellini for these particular rolls. I used slightly different dilutions (Dilution H and Dilution D) but the developing times remained the same at 100iso Dev times 🙂 Dilution H seemed to produce the best results and gives a lot more control with the developing as well 🙂 I hope that helps.
