127 Day January 2017

Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520/18 with Agfapan Agfa APX 100

For last Friday's 127 Day, I shot just the one roll of film, cut down medium format Agfapan APX 100 with a 'develop before' date of January 2009. I used the Baby Ikonta again; given the weather conditions and short daylight hours, a number of the shots were long exposures on the 'T' setting. With smaller apertures, generally around f16, the Novar lens performs well, against the hand held shots three or four stops wider; I rated the APX 100 at box speed, being less than ten years past its 'develop before' date, although ideally a faster film would have been more appropriate for the day.
