I’ve noticed that when in D76, the T-Max will have a tendency to produce streaks and blotches. As I did not have any T-Max Developer on hand, I decided to take my chances with D76. I’ve always said and it’s worth repeating that T-Max 400 is a beautiful film that develops best in T-Max Developer. Not making any excuses, but many people actually do not mind, and some even “want” these imperfectons these days! Don’t believe me? You should see what people are liking on Instagram! I guess it’s part of what people today consider a part of that “film look.”īack in the day, I don’t remember people loving imperfect pictures all that much, but since this shot is imperfect…ok, I’m cool with it! 🙂 If you look at the photo, you’ll notice some blotches, most notably on the bottom right, a result of my imperfect developing. In fact, if I had the funds I could easily talk myself into it again! It’s a fantastic medium format rangefinder.

I’ve always thought of giving the Mamiya 6 a formal write-up on these pages and I’m sure I’ll get to it one of these days, but I’m not sure I could write enough to do it justice. I started selling off the lenses first, then the camera and 75mm because I wasn’t using it enough and needed funds for other things. I had a complete outfit in 2009 including the body, 75mm f/3.5, 50mm f/4, and 150mm f/4.5 telephoto. I especially like rock and popular music from the 50s through the 90s. Just like another great 80s band Journey, I’ll always associate Cetera’s voice with Chicago just as I associate Steve Perry with Journey.Īnyway, I’m drifting off course! Music just happens to be my other passion. But now I’m not so sure it was really a case of someone getting a big head or whether he and the band could just no longer get along. I always thought the band broke up because of Cetera and his ever growing star in the 80s. I loved their stuff from the 70s and 80s although admittedly they went into the “soft rock” category with the rise of (then) lead singer Peter Cetera, not that it’s a bad thing mind you.

Speaking of “Saturday In The Park” I recently saw a CNN documentary which I think is a couple of years old, on one of America’s oldest and greatest pop/rock bands, Chicago. I actually shot this a couple of years ago before I sold the camera. Shot with a Mamiya 6 and 75mm f/3.5 Sekor. In my effort to be more active for you good people, here’s a shot and short article for today. Mamiya 6, 75mm f/3.5 Mamiya G lens, Kodak T-Max 400 in D76 developer.
