Having had good results pushing Catlabs X Film 80 all the way to 320, I decided to try my luck one stop further at 640. I loaded up the Ful-Vue model II and waited for the sun to start setting. When it was low enough I ventured out to my usual spots for test shots and returned with 12 exposed frames. I developed the film in Rodinal 1+25 at 24°C for 30 minutes. I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I didn't know if the development would work or if the pictures would all be horribly underexposed.
Here are the results:
 |
| Modus - The shiniest my car has ever looked - lens set for close-ups |
 |
| Backlit Daffodils - very happy with how this came out - lens set for close-ups. |
 |
| Firemore Beach and Cable Hut |
 |
| Loch Ewe |
 |
| Jetty - with lens flare |
 |
| Cave |
 |
| Looking out to sea - light was getting pretty low by now |
 |
| Trees - A little underexposed but still nice |
 |
| Cottage |
 |
| The Torridons |
 |
| Gate Post - lens set for close-ups |
 |
| Another view of the Torridons |
So, once again, pretty impressed. That little meniscus lens produced some nice sharp images, especially of my car and the gate post. The Catlabs film handled pushing this far just fine.
