First film AP in 10 Years

Hi everyone,

I lurk here quite a bit but don't often have much to post as I work mostly with another kind of camera which I won't mention here. But for general photography I actually still shoot film quite a bit, maybe more than ever before since learning to develop my own slides and negatives. It was only a matter of time before I would revisit film AP which I have not practiced since the late 90s.

At a recent trip to a dark site I brought along a roll of E200 and shot some simple, unguided wide fields. The camera is a Canon A2, and the lens a 35mm F1.2L working at F2. My exposures were around 5 minutes. I push-processed the slides 2 stops in a Jobo CPE2. To be honest, I did not expect much, but I was pleased with the results. I definitely hope I can get out to a dark site with a roll of film a little more often.

Thanks for looking.
