Haven't started one of these in a while. I had this Tasma KN-3 film (exp. 1983) in my Nikkormat FTn. I shot and shot until the counter said 38. Now I never roll much over 27 frames, so I got suspicious and took it in the dark to check. Yep, the film had let go of the takeup spool, but for some reason I haven't figured out, the supply (rewind) knob was turning when I wound the film. Weird. Anyway, I restarted and shot the roll (25 exp). Then I went to develop in my old standbay Parodinal 1:25. I haven't used it in a while, but I was so confident that it was still good, that I just dipped the test strip at the same time I started the dev cycle in the tank. Well, that was a bad choice because my Parodinal was dead. I figured I could salvage something by throwing in some HC110 on top of the dead developer. I had no idea how long to let this concoction soak, so I gave it 10 minutes. That was too long. I got some serious base fog, but by and by, the negs were still more or less scannable using a dslr and a strong backlight. Here are a couple.

I know the feeling of finding out the dev was dead.
Happened to me before with paper dev.

I remember photographing this tree when it had just sprouted from the fence post. I thought it wouldn't last very long, figured the post would dry out too much during the summer. Now look at it! I can't find the old photo, must have been close to 10 years ago.

Not sure how this ended up here but there is a freeway on-ramp close. Maybe it got tossed in an accident.

Well, my idea of posting in every weekend thread as a way to keep myself active failed, but I can always start again (why does writing this make me feel like I should be in a 12-step program?). Anyway, here we go.

On Friday morning I went out to test a Jupiter-9 that I recently acquired. This lens has become very expensive over the last years, but I managed to pick up a nice one around 80-100 USD below the average asking price.
