Photos with my refurbished Isolette III - Solinar 85mm/4.5 during a road trip trip to Devils tower, covering NE, SD, WY, CO


Agfa APX100, by mistake I made Rodinal 1+10 and noticed it right after i poured the developer... I calculated in my head that somewhere around 3:30 should be enough so I ended up with 4:00 (20 C)


Scotts Bluff NE


The Badlands SD

PS adding more photos from ScottsBluff, thanks @visualopsins

I did presoak to get rid of the dark green anti halation layer for a few minutes, pour developer, agitated for the 1st 30s and then realised I had screwed up!
Freaked out, did the calculations in my head, agitated once at about 2 min and dumped the dev around 4 min

Negatives are thick, tons of details in the shadows but highlights are dark. From this mistake, somewhere between 3 and 3:30 should be the sweet spot.

grumble grumble grumble
I shot some HP5 as well but it fell off the ziplock bag to the bottom of the backpack and seems to have been damaged by the XRay machines!

I had good results with agfa way back in the 80's, and rodinal 1:50.
I'm pretty sure it was speed rated in the plus-x range, about 100-125, IIRC.
You got some tonal range there, anyways, despite the developer timing.
