This film has high contrast so to tame it I experimented with 1:19 Fomadon LQN for 35mins at 15C. Results were great in density and grain. Some of the roll was spoiled by surging from the sprocket holes, not sure why, first half of roll was fine, second half wasn't.

I don't agree, tonality is good considering the light conditions. Gray days make gray pictures, roll on spring and some good light. I was out for 5 hours with the Contax today and the light kept changing, sadly, while the Polypan was in the camera it was very dull, the shot of the back door of the church is at f2.8, 1/25, so very dark. Sod's law, the clouds parted and the sun reappeared after I finished the Polypan roll. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Cheers. I agree they look a bit gray, but it was very gray when I shot it, so considering the light I'm quite pleased. I'll have to try again in good light. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I was thinking, did you use any filter? In such conditions maybe yellow or orange might help to improve contrast. _________________ equipment doesn´t count, good photographs do |

No I didn't use a filter. I have a nice Voigtlander yellow one that fits my Contax lenses so I will try that one day, cheers for the tip. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I cannot imagine shooting BW without filters. _________________ equipment doesn´t count, good photographs do |
