Argenti Scale-X 100


I had this roll in the bag since 2019, I think, and finally decided to use it during summer 2020. I don’t know which camera I used but I suppose it was the old Canon compact. As you can see, the pictures are very summer-ish and they were all taken in Sicily. The story does not end here, actually, because I forgot this (with another still undeveloped) film in a bag, the bag closed in a case, the case abandoned in a sort of a warehouse, before moving again to Rome.

Adox Silvermax


Last time I bought some roll from Maco I made a couple of odd choises, like this Adox Silvermax that’s in my to-try-list since forever. It’s an European product very similar to the old Agfa APX 100 but with more silver. Developed in its own Silvermax developer should give more resolution to work with. I developed it in the classic Kodak HC-110 so no “max” for me, just the usual business. Shot in August, if I remember well, and clearly in Sicily, it’s another fragment of my family life.
