"6.54 mins" geez we're getting exacting, aren't we? Laughing

Love that anchor shot! Forgot, the Hand shot, too!

As a cautionary tale, I shot Fomapan 100 @400 through a Minolta AF-C
I recently purchased from Bangkok and dev'd at 100, not good:


4 mins each in Thornton's 2-Bath

Freestyle says the film can be shot at 400 with no change in developing
time, don't think so.

Fomas are strange medium. I use it only once but it was too contrasty otherwise smoother and sharp grain. After that I used IlfordPan and can't compare feelings. Looks much better and photos get specific look which I like very much.

I am not expert but I think that one stop is a visible change when shoting and at developing, too.

Regards photos: Like first one... shades together with view looks good.

I don't think that Foma is too much contrasty --

I would say it's less than contrasty -- depends on type ..

It has fine grain and gradation curve is very very good ..

Sorry Bill - That was a typo. 6 and a half mins. Rogue 4 removed.

I guess 1 stop may have been ok for development. 2 stops (as shown) doesn't work. Anyway, glad to hear you're another Foma fan.

Maybe I should try it more... I will have some opportunity with 120 film. Then I see results in dark room.

What developer do you use spleenone? And what concentration are you using?

I develop film alone only once Very Happy it was TMax 100 with Ilfosol 3... before I used to leave it on lab. I was never disappointed with their service. Now I learning more and more so trying to develop myself. It's more faster than wait for week or two, heh.

I'd recommend Rodinal as you can change the concentration to suit.

I'm not sure if it's avalible in my country. Ilford products are pretty good in my opinion but I try it if I find one. thx

Good range of tones Martin, and congrats on the nice clean scans. I like the hand shot best.

Where do you get Rodinal from? I can only find Rodinal Special.
