Back in April, I was lucky enough to join in with a group of film photographers on Facebook, who were trying out a colour separation film. This film is ment for backing up movie film and not as a film for shooting photographs.
The film is black & white 35mm and rated at between 6 and 25 ISO. With such a low ISO, I needed a camera and lens with a good wide aperture, so I went with my Olympus OM10 and the 50mm 1.8 an a 28mm 2.8
As very few people have shot images with this, it was going to be interesting to see what the the images would be like and how to go about developing the rolls of film.
Once I received my two rolls, I was keen to get out and shoot the first images with it. I'm not one to usually shoot cars but I have seen this VW beetle around in the last few week and wanted to shoot it and this seemed like a good opportunity to shot both it and this film.
I rated the roll at ISO 25 and went of looking for the VW. I not only found the VW but also a Chevy van that had been stripped back to the bare metal and ended up shooting the whole roll on these two cars.

As this isn't a normal film, there isn't any real information about development films, so people within the group are working on using different developers and times. I went with Rodinal for 16 minutes and mixed at 1:50.
As it is a low ISO there is very little grain in the images.
I hope to shot the second roll on either some street scenes or maybe some street portraits.
