Konica FT-1, Hexanon 4/21, Fomapan 100, Paterson FX-39

Good light, good lens, and turns out a good film dev/combo. Didn't have to do any adjustment of contrast, tonality etc, these are straight from the scanner, just the odd bit of clone stamping to remove dirt spots and sharpening.

Indeed looks a winner combo! Congrats! I love each of them.

Cheers. I like FX-39, it's a good developer, works well with Ilford FP4, TMAX 100, Ilford Delta 100, not so well with Kodak Vision2.

The FT-1 and 21mm combo is my all-time favourite setup to shoot with, guaranteed sharp results.

indeed, great quality from this combo !

Cheers. By way of a test I've just shot another roll with the FT-1 and 21mm combo, but in bad light, had to push the 100 speed film to 400 and shot 1/60 f8-f11, so it was pretty dark.

+1 great quality and development
Paterson FX is not a very common developer, but it indeed works great with this film.

FX-39 is not common, I think only sold in the UK.

It is designed for T-grain films such as TMAX and Delta.

I can confirm it works very well with both of those, it's also good with traditional types like Fomapan and FP4.

Here's some Ilford Delta 100 I developed yesterday in it, David Lloyd (lloydy) shot this with a Voigtlander Perkeo.
