An part of an old series I made about 2 years ago. I've just digged them out for another post and thought that I could also post them here.
I don't remember exact temperature or which concentration I used, sorry!

Superpan 200 was my favourite film for a long time, but in fact it's not as easy to handle in exposure and development as most other more common B/W films like TriX, APX100, RPX100 etc.. It works not bad for IR-pics with deep red- or infrared filters btw. (I would clearly prefer it over Rollei Infrared 400 for IR). The film medium is very clear and colorless after fixing, perfect canditate for making B/W slides and I always wanted to try that. Unfortunately potassium dichromate is very hard to get this country.

Lens was modified Minolta MD 50/1.4 and camera was Minolta SRT100 if I remember correctly.

Another film I have never tried. I like no 2 and no 4. I've tried BW slide reversal but results were always mixed. When it works it's really nice though !
