I have a few rolls of Kosmo film in my fridge and until recently I have not got around to trying it out for one reason or another.
So a few weeks back I was going through my film stash looking for something to try and get my shooting mojo back and came across a roll of Kosmo Foto Mono in 120 and as it was a pretty bright day I thought it was about time that I tried it out.
I loaded my Mamiya 645 for a change as it gives me 15 frames to play with and popped out for a nice walk.
When I goto back I looked up a few different developing options and went for Rodinal 1+25 dilution for 3 and a half minutes.
Once developed and even before the film was dry I could see that the negatives looked crisp and sharp and with good contrast.
When I scanned the first frame I was very pleased with how it looked, the tones and contrast were really nice and the sharpness was excellent.
Even though I used Rodinal the grain was very subtle and didn’t stand out unlike most of the time I use it.
Overall I really like how this film stock looks especially in medium format, I have a couple of rolls in 35mm to try next and will use the same development just to see how it compares.
So here is the whole roll warts and all …
