Boring technical information: These are the first prints I've made from Minolta 16mm size film in about 25 years. Film was Kodak Double-X negative movie film, loaded into a Minolta cassette. Shot at ASA 200, developed in HC-110 1:16 for 4 minutes. Printing was another story. I suddenly had the urge to print the negs, and used what I had on hand. Paper was Kodak Polycontrast F, 5 x 7 cut down to 5 x 3 1/2. This paper is about 4+ years old, and has been stored in my attic where the temperature fluctuates from 30 below zero in the winter, to over 100+ in the summer. Where I live, photo processing supplies are not readily available, so I used what I had. I only had Illford variable contrast filters, and the only one from the set I could find was #4. Even then, the contrast in these prints was horrible (very gray) so I did tweak the contrast/brightness a bit in the computer, although, I'm basically a purist, and would rather have printed them correctly and forgone the computer manipulation. I figure the age and storage conditions for the paper, wrong filter series, and the fact that I used a red Christmas light bulb in a nightlight for a safelight probably all contrbuted to the lack of punch in the prints. I doubt the lights safeness, the papers integrity, and my rusty techniques. These were scanned at 100 dpi, in 256 greys (B&W 8 bit) from the 3 1/2 x 5 prints I made. I will look for better results when I get fresh paper and find the right safelight and filters! Overall, I'm quite happy with the performance of the camera/film, just not in my printing! Also, all the outdoor pics were taken on a very gray winter day. Indoor shots were taken with a hand held Vivitar 2000 flash, on manual. Comments/Suggestions/ideas welcome. Captions included for the fun of it. Check the links below for newer and better Minolta 16 shots!
