Ilford SFX and the Leica IIIg

[Rob MacKillop]

I found a roll of SFX film in a drawer, so thought I'd put it through the IIIg with a yellow filter attached, purely out of curiosity. The roll came back from Ilford very dark. I've raised the shadows a little bit, but there was little to reveal. Still, I quite like some of the shots.

Interesting set, Rob. What did you rate it at?

I especially like the bottle and the shot of the 'joggers' - the aperture refections really add to it I think.

It's 200, but I pushed to 400 for extra grain. The joggers is my favourite, especially as it was totally unexpected, and I just took too quick a shot, not checking aperture or shutter speed. The reflections make the shot, I think.
