Description

Camera: Leica CL
Lens: Summicron-C 40mm
Film: Delta 400
Developer: LC29
Scanner: Imacon Precision II

The tone was achieved by scanning the black and white negative in an RGB colour space. For some reason the negatives coming out of the Leica have this very strong tint when using Delta 400 that the Hasselblad doesn't have with the same film. I like it and have the choice of removing it in processing but I'm very curious as to why this should be :confused:

Nice image. I've only used Delta 400 occasionally ( in 120 for ancient cameras!) but my guess would be residual sensitizing dyes in the neg-does the tint lessen if fixed for longer or in fresh fixer? It isn't unusual for 35mm and 120 versions of the same film to differ slightly in structure/formulation/development characteristics.
