Expired Superpan 200 dev. in cold Rodinal

[ForenSeil]

This panchromatic (originally made for aerial and technical photography) 35mm film is expired 6 months ago, developed 14min in 17°C cold 1:50 Rodinal

The dynamik range especially in dark areas is definately a lot lower than usual because the film was developed ~4-5min to short or lower ISO should have been used to reach optimum results. Negs were very thin.
Digitaltruth says 17min @ 20°C in 1:50 rodinal - and I got a lot more ugly results with these times than in these examples. I think there a lot space for improvement!
The last ~5 times I developed this film (with the digitaltruth times) I got grainy results without any good whites or blacks while the first time I was using the film I got perfectly clear results (with times from a another forum, can't remember them).
First I thought that it was caused by expiration (my first roll was not expired) or of slightly different developer (I used Parodinal), but now with this Roll I think that this film is very sensitive to high temperatures and it's better to develope the film a little colder than usual. But maybe my old analog development-thermometer is crap


A buddy tries my NEX


(he tried to shoot some geese)




Some other friends playing with my NEX Here you can see the bad blacks because of the under-development






Some urban exploration on the way home (here a little gamma boost was applied)


My friend is a Telekom guy and looks if this telephone box may still work


lol conclusion was that it still might work when a analog phone would be attached


(bark of a tree, contrast reminds me slightly of Rollei Retro 80s)

Lens used was mostly Contax G Planar T* 45/2 except three of the "urban exploration" shots which were made Contax G Biogon T* 28/2.8 wide open, all on Contax G1 Body
Scanner is Epson V500, @2400dpi, grain reduction turned off, standard sharpening on, no PP except the one pic with the gamma boost.

Nice series. I like the shots of your buddy with your Nex the best. Tree bark is always good and a good test for how a film shows detail and contrast, too.

I see very good results already.
