I went on a 'Tourist Trip' around the Tower Bridge area of London with my 1960 Rolleiflex 2.8 F Planar loaded with some April 1986 dated Ilford Pan F and my Minolta Dynax 5 loaded with E6 slide film.
I rated the Pan F at 32 ASA as it was old and processed in home-made Microphen 1+3 for 8.5 mins @ 20oC as in the original instruction leaflet and got some very good negs -- no 'fog level' ! I cut the film and just did 6 frames taken so I have 6 frames left to experiment with . I used the built-in SELENIUM CELL meter and it is accurate still ! I tried holding some filters over the lens for some shots of the famous offices over the River Thames.
