Bergger Pancro 400 exposed with the fantastic Holga camera part-XV.

I have published already 15 posts about this wonderful combination of the Fomapan 100/400 film exposed with a Holga plastic camera and developed in the Rodinal, using a semi-stand process. This process is very gentle and forgives the camera for the lack of exposure managing possibilities.

This time I decided to use the Bergger Pancro 400 instead of Fomapan and the results amazed me. This emulsion is much more stable (well it’s also more expensive) in my opinion. I have a few more rolls of Bergger in my fridge, so, I hope to use them for the same combo now. You can see that one of the frames turned black, as a result of the forgotten lens cap which is left covered with the glass, but I haven’t used the cap with this camera for already long time and prefer to scratch (actually it’s very difficult) my Holga lens, than to finish with the empty frames. I have no idea how I got it, but decided to put it with this series as a logical section of it.

Last weekend I took my unfairly forgotten Hasselblad 500cm for a walk. I took it to the streets of the Southern Tel Aviv. From the start of the walk, the weather was perfectly suitable for the native Sunny 16 rule, but after two hours (possibly less) of the nice walk the sun was suddenly covered by the fast-flying clouds, and the surroundings drastically changed to something flat and less interesting for my “plans” of the harsh contrasts between the highlights and shadows. Finally, it was ok for me to stop exposing with the Hassey. I never was a fan of the fast filling of the frames with the photographed materials, as well now my Hassey has hope for the next outing. Win-win situation.
