I wanted to finish a fresh FP4+ I had in my 1978 Hasselblad 500CM + A16 back so I went to London Road Cemetery here in Brentwood, England using my Zeiss Makro-Planar 120mm f4 CF T* lens. I processed the film in a new mix of PH35 Formula which I used to use years ago but at the 1+5 dilution on a test bit the negs were severely UNDER DEVELOPED so I tried 1+3 for 11 mins and got great Negs ! Maybe the PHENIDONE being OLD was no good -- I got 1/250 @ f9 and 1/500th @ f5.6 on most shots.
