I thought I'd spooled TMAX 400 and dev'd it as such, but it was Fomapan!
Checking the Massive Dev Chart the two films are the same time with
HC-110B, lucked out. This is HC-110B, 6 mins, 20C:







and this one, soft focus, I moved back slightly and guess what, it still looked in focus through the viewfinder! lol
I was using both RF and SLR/TLR and got a little confused. Embarassed I like her expression. I was supposed to be taking
pics of her older sister and GF (home from college for the holidays) but that didn't happen, so mom brought her
younger sister for the shoot.


Her shoes (pumps?) remind me of the ruby slippers in 1939 Wizard of Oz.

In good light conditions, this film is superb. Nice contrast and slight grain, if you like contrasty pix, try with R09 and 1+25 dilution.

Hexi, thanks, will have to try that sometime, although I'm rather pleased
with how this set came out, dev-wise.

Paul, Bob, and Spleenone, thanks for stopping by, have one more BW to
dev, and sent a roll of 6x9 pics off to be developed.

Bob, wet prints is something I'd like to do, hopefully late winter or
spring.
