Tonight is Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I processed a roll of Rollei 80S Retro that I exposed last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing was apropos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these images using my Nikon F3 with f1.8 105mm lens. My cousin Stella was visiting from the West Coast and we were exploring spooky graveyards in Western Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder why I waited nearly four months to process the film. Was it an infusion of Irish spirits and pucas that lent inspiration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, it was actually simpler than that. My preferred developer for Rollei 80S Retro is Rodinal and in Dublin I keep a healthy volume of this antique solution on hand. So I brought the film with me from America for processing in Dublin. However, distractions and writing have kept me occupied for weeks and I just got to souping the film last night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have an adjusted recipe for this very unusual film that yields stunning results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rollei 80S Retro will provide superb tonality, super fine grain, and a deep rich black when processed properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
