Using the Koni Omega Rapid with Hexanon 60 wide lens. I dev'd this for
8 minutes, 20C in HC-110 1:49, couldn't find any info for time with this
developer:





In the last shot which I shot today, was f8 at 1/8sec. I had the camera
resting on a box which caught some of it in the foreground, sheesh.

Great start, but did you redo the first image as I was going to comment about an hour ago that it wasn't as good as the following ones.

I like the first ! with the water differents shades especially, and you could think of some serial killer setup ( that'll teach me to watch too much Dexter ^.^ ) but the attitude of the girl on the 2nd is priceless, though lack of light. I'll try to check for dev times .... great work.

edit : digital truth wins again Very Happy you were close with the time btw

dev times

I'm really ambivalent about Delta 400. Personally I've found I like the results better when I pull it one stop (i.e., shoot and dev as if ISO200). At ISO400, DD-X was the only developer that I tried that gave me satisfying results.

BTW, HC-110 (B) should be right around 7 minutes, but HC-110(B) is 1:9 (or 1:31 from Syrup).

Some samples:

Excalibur and Hexi, thanks for stopping by. It looks like I didn't develop
long enough. Dilution B is much stronger (1:31) @7.5 minutes, should've
gone 50% longer for "e" which is 1:47 dilution. I like 1:49 because I
don't have to ponder how to measure fractions of a milliliter.

Rawhead, if developing for ISO 200, the times would be shorter. Hummm.
I may just stick with TMAX 400, but will try this on my next roll of Delta
400.

Love "Teardrop" nice work.

I like the results of Fomapan with this dilution of HC-110. This is Fomapan
400 with Nikon F4s and Tammie 35-80 zoom:



Indoor test shot for the camera's meter. I think the grain adds something
to this.

That 60mm is some nice lens.

I can't say for sure, but I seem to like the older formulations at ASA400 than the new T grain ones. But then, I haven't tried them all on 120 film Smile so you're doing a service here.

Your workplace sure looks a hell of a lot more fun than the cubicle farm I'm in Wink

Well I got the RB67 out today after years, and loaded it with FP4 dated 1990, whoaa seperate exposure meter reading, and was out of practice holding it level (looking in viewfinder).

Jussi, thanks, I think I will try Dilution B (1:31) next time around.

Excalibur, don't be shy, light that candle! Smile
