Arista

 I was given a roll of Arista Edu Ultra 200 some time ago.  I liked the results I got from it when developed in Rodinal, so I got a bulk roll and tried it with a variety of developers, none of which really produced results that I liked, including my last roll which I processed in Caffenol.  I have picked the three images from that last effort which seems to best show the film's potential, which I think is quite nice in regard to grain and tonality.

I've got at least a couple rolls of Arista left in the bulk loader, so I'll take another whack at it, paying more attention to shooting technique and processing.  I'll try rating the film at 100 ASA and maybe give it a little more time in the development as well.

Old Town Farm

We rode our bikes to Old Town Farm to meet friends for breakfast.  I took along my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s. 

I shot the whole roll of Gekko MW 100 in fully automatic mode and developed in caffenol.  The brightly lit scenes looked ok, but the camera seemed befuddled in low light.   Not having the proper mercury battery may have contributed to the less than perfect outcome, though I had better results with the last roll of color I shot in the camera.

Caffenol

 I'm still trying to get used to shooting my finely made but quirky Vito III.  I loaded it with another expired roll of Gekko MW 100 and took a walk around the neighborhood and into Old Town

I was pretty pleased with the results from the caffenol developer; it seemed just as good in regard to grain and tonalities as what I've been getting from my usual assortment of commercial products.

The kit of caffenol components and the recipe were courtesy of my friend, astrobeck.
