I don't know about you Martin, but imo there is something about b&w shots taken on film that can't be emulated in digital. Let's hope quality b&w film remains available in the future! Smile

That kit treats you very well, Martin. Lovely compositions and tones.

(I think I will have to try some slower speed film, but a tripod will be absolutely necessary. Shocked )

Very very good darkroom work. I like especially #2 but the others are good as well.

Agree, 2 and 3 are my faves, but a nice set, Martin! Pan F is on my want
list.

I vote for second picture, too. There is something special on it. Do you use some filters?

Beautiful work Martin, indoors and out. I used PanF a lot when I was younger but I went off it because it was too contrasty, so you have controlled this extremely well. You've nudged me into giving it another go and I'll try it with a yellow filter. Might as well make use of this PanF weather while it lasts eh? Smile

No 2 is my fav too. It looks like a pic from one of those old 1930's travel books - timeless.

Thanks Peter - Yes, I can see that Pan F would be contrasty, but I think the key here is the 1:50 Rodinal. Whenever I use this method I am able to get better range of tones. In Ilfosol 3 I think the contrast would be very harsh.

An orange filter (as suggested Laughing )

I bought a bottle of what I thought was Rodinal but it turned out to be the "Spezial" variety, which I think is a different formula. Where do you get the ordinary kind?
