Yesterday I tested the AGAT 18 half frame camera I got through Share the Love 2017!
And to make things more fun, I also tested a short roll of unknown stored in the desert film I got this summer at a garage sale in a bulk loader.
It turns out the film was one of the oldest ones I've shot in my entire life! It's a roll of Ilford HP5... notice I didn't write HP5 Plus or HP5+
Ilford stopped making HP5 in 1989... I exposed it at EI 100, but in reality it should have been at EI 50 or 64. But I didn't know it at the time.
Emulsion was super fragile. I even managed to wipe some off the leader with my fingers after development.
But do I love those results! Grain madness!
The camera is really nice, but the shutter button could be a bit more sensitive. But so far, it's really a camera I love!
Here are a few select shots from my really short test roll.
