I tried something a bit different with dad over the last few weeks. I shot a film of 120 in a blad body with a wide angle 55mm lens. I used the blad with a monopod because I was shooting in lower light at slower shutter speeds 1/30 to 1/60 at F4 (widest aperture) with Tri-x rated at 200. Yesterday when I had Kelly in for her workshop she developed this film for me as part of the darkroom class.
The shots I made at 1/15 were blurred so 1/30th seems the lower end shutter speed I can use with this setup and still maintain sharp exposures, the monopod does not seem to be helping much, probably not worth using.
