My “new” Century Studio Outfit

Posted on October 9, 2019February 11, 2023

I recently acquired a Kodak Century Studio Camera and installed it in my studio in downtown Spokane Washington. It didn’t have a lens so I put a Caltar 210mm lens on it and did this little test shoot using blue sensitive x-ray film just to see if everything was functional.

I like this film because I can handle it under a red safelight and I can process it with the same HC110 developer that I use for all of my roll and sheet film.

Note: I am using the Full Speed Blue which I rate at ISO 25 for metering purposes.
