Arista Pro 400, Ornano Gradual ST 20

[Orio]

Thanks to Bill for sending me one roll of this film! It really makes a killer match with the Gradual ST 20 developer.
Best results I got in B&W from a longtime (tonally speaking)!
I think Gradual ST 20 is the best match for the Tri-X 400 and this Arista film looks a lot like the Tri-X
(I developed using the times listed for the Tri-X and the negatives turned out perfect).

Still got the usual problems from the 4490 (like: Newton rings appearing even if there is no glass! )
but luckily it's days as 35mm scanner are numbered.

ZI camera, Snapshot-Skopar 4/25 lens set to hyperfocal in all shots.

(#1 to #5) Belinda Bencic (Swiss/Slovakian, white jacket) and Camilla Rosatello (Italian, dark jacket) waiting in the tunnel to enter the court for the Ladies' final
of the 29th Edition of the Junior Tennis Championship of Salsomaggiore
(all the tennis photos were taken on Sunday 6th, one day after our film event)

#3



#4



#5 - the final can begin



#6 - cameras of Sky TV (Murdoch still going strong here)



#7 - a field switch



#8 - the final was a very fast routine victory for Bencic. The ball kids line up for the ceremony...



#9 - ...and so do the linesmen



#10 - Camilla Rosatello, the losing finalist



#11 - Belinda Bencic, the winner (2 years younger than her opponent, 15 vs. 17)



#12



#13 - Rosatello receives the second prize. She was very sad, she cried all the time.



#14 - and Bencic the winner's cup (and a wild card for a WTA pro tournament in Italy)



#15 - Bencic with the cup. She displayed an incredible talent during this tournament, I'm sure we'll hear her name in the future.



#16 - Belinda Bencic with some little fans...



#17



#18 - ... and with her father/trainer, who became the blue-eyed boy of our local audience because of his funny sounding coaching advices



#19 - Two moments of the Men's final, of which I could only follow the first points



#20



These last four photos were taken in Bologna on Saturday 12th, at the marketplace in Piazza dell'Otto Agosto.
Typical "roll finishers"

Wow, love these results! Arista Premium is TriX, so let me know if you want more, quite cheap
from Freestyle.

Looking forward to seeing some of these when you get the new scanner!

The trial software/7200 certainly opens up shadow detail...have you thought about doing a trial with Vuescan,
for comparison?

Nice results, I like the tonality and the contrast.
