michael#120film is my nemesis. #Fomapan200 in an #AgfaIsola 120 #camera from the 1950s. Sadly I don't think I can blame the camera at all. I could perhaps blame the #DaylightTank, at least a little bit. It is also a very poor scan, but I kind of gave up really... #analoguephotography #filmisnotdead #BelieveInFilm #etc
Sounds good though. One thing at a time. If and when I'd recommend using a monobath. It simplifies the whole process and (as far as I'm concerned) the results are good enough.
14mission@michael It's still a nice picture. So you think the light leak was in development, not the processing?

Agfa Isola
The Agfa Isola was a line of medium format viewfinder cameras made by Agfa in Germany. [1] There were three models, original Isola, Isola I and Isola II. All models use 120 roll film for 6x6cm frames. The lens is collapsible; once extended, it was turned to lock back in storage position. The shutter release is interlocked with the lens extension and you can only engage the shutter when the lens is extended. Winding on the film is also required as the Isola feature a double exposure guard. when t
@14mission That's the camera. It's pretty solid, almost as good as new. The film was probably slightly loose when I opened the back. I have had endless trouble developing 120 in the daylight tank. It did not spool correctly into the chamber but it did wind on to the reel ok. I don't know if you have experience with this sort of kit? I have a tank for 35mm that works like a dream. It was the only salvageable image on the roll.....
@michael Sorry, can't help, so far I'm leaving development to pros. Sort of working my way up. Starting with cyanotype prints, later will try actual photo paper prints. Actual development is a ways off.
Bob Horowitz@michael Oddly, I rather like the massive imperfections. Might just be me though. I've always been attracted to light leaks, lomo... But yeah, I get how this must be if you don’t want it..
@BobHorowitz you didn't see the rest of the film!
@michael *chuckles*
That bad, huh?
