I had a bad case of the restless and can't sleeps last night. So I decided to give my Dektol+Film thoughts somewhere to go.
I loaded a roll of Arista EDU 100 into the Lubitel 166U, added a Holga Close Up lens attached with some rubber bands, measured my focus zone and tried to get my arm trained to hold camera at that point, then metered for light. I used two of my softbox lights which are pretty intense and very focused so they make hard light on whatever they hit without diffusion. There was also a single lamp on in the room. My metering told me I needed 1/8th of a second at f/4.5, but as I moved it around, so it could meter the darker areas it went well into the 1-4 second shutter range for that aperture. I am pretty sure I was way more stops under then I thought, mentioned above. The 3200 was a guess. Thats at least 5 stops pushed, then maybe close to that in push for the development.
I knew I wanted to push the film at least 4 stops to see what Dektol would do in that kind of situation. I ended up shooting at (somewhere around) 3200 metering for 100 film... and pushing the film about 3-4 stops. And I still got images which blew my mind. If I had left them in the soup for another few minutes who knows what I'd have gotten out of it.
I pushed the Clarity on these up a bit so the grain tends to really pop, but I love how Dektol slams the film right in the face with it's hard core super dark blacks and contrast. Aside from the focus issues, these shots came out better then I hoped.
My actual focus area was literally a space of 1-2" and I did all of these by hand, guessing I had them at the right location, set to f/4 (just beyond the last measured aperture on the 166U) and at 1/60th of a second shutter speed.
I think I need to measure and mount the camera on a tripod for this and do it again with a little more usable light.
Fun shoot, entertained me when I couldn't sleep. And I want more Dektol.

Recent hike in the Sequoia National Park (California)…beautiful scenery indeed…in this 4-day hike of the Pear Lake trail, we covered Heather, Aster, Emeral, and Pear lakes. The weather and temperatures (typical for that in late November) on the cold side as you can tell. Self developed Kodak Tri-X 400 with Rodinal 1+35 at about 13 mins.

(By Sara Teasdale)
I ASKED the heaven of stars
What I should give my love—
It answered me with silence,
Silence above.
I asked the darkened sea
Down where the fishes go—
It answered me with silence,
Silence below.
Oh, I could give him weeping,
Or I could give him song—
But how can I give silence
My whole life long?
This camera, made by Asanuma, appears to be a version for English speaking countries of the Fujifilm Rensha Cardia BYU-N 16 (which perhaps was only sold in Japan). They must have used the same moulds because the words "Fujifilm Japan" are embossed on the base of the camera. It's sort of like an Oktomat with sixteen lenses :)
