It was a rainy day, and I wanted to shoot my Super Ikonta 532/16 again.
Due to the low light, I had to open up a little to f5.6 to get 1/25.

Having shot the Fomapan 400 for a while, it’s quite obvious that it’s an iso 200 film.

When I shoot the petzval or other lenses from around 1900’s with low contrast, I rate the Fomapan 400 to 400 iso, to get more contrast in overcast weather.

Even the Tessar on my Super Ikonta is dated 1938, it’s still provide more contrast than lenses made 50 years prior to 1938

Adding a yellow filter to enhance the yellow/orange leaves also adds a little contrast to the photo.
When it rains, shooting b/w film the film captures little contrast, I didn’t make the development time longer due to the yellow filter.
