The Wednesday Gang Trip to the Toronto Islands Part One

Image
The best time to visit the Toronto Islands during the Summer is in the middle of the week, and before school was out for the year. The secret is get to the ferry terminal earlier in the morning. Other than that, the Toronto Islands is a magical place. I find it's a mini holiday from reality.  I made the wise choice with one of my Olympus OM-2n's, the black one and loaded up with Fomapan 200 Creative, with a MC Zuiko 28 F3.5, 50 F1.8 and the 65-200 F4 Zoom lens. I chose my lens combo well and used all of them at one point or another on this set.  Camera: Olympus OM-2n, MC Zuiko Lenses.  Film: Fomapan 200 @125 ISO, 510 Pyro 1+100.

I always use Rollei Supergrain developer with Fomapan film stocks,  there were three rolls of Fomapan 200 Creative to be processed, let's roll with 510 Pyro and see what we get. With the 1+100 dilution, this developer was a no brainer for three rolls of 35mm film, or two rolls of 120 in one of the bigger Patterson Tanks.  Um, wow, a really nice set of sharp negatives with a fine grain structure. I think I found the sweet sauce for Fomapan 200 Creative. Now, I exposed the film at 125 ISO, overexposing delibrately and using the time recommended by Zone Imaging, 510 Pyro's manufacturer. This particular pyro staining developer is much easier than pyrocat more traditional staining developers than can be quite toxic to handle, 510 Pyro is much safer and there's only one dillution 1+100, the variable is the developing time.  Camera: Olympus OM-1n, MC Zuiko 50 F1.8 lens.  Film: Fomapan 200 developed in 510 Pyro 1+100.  ...
