From the sublime to the ridiculous today. This morning I spent a couple of hours getting one shot with a 10x8:

 

Chamonix 10x8, Nikkor-M 450mm/f9, f64, 2 seconds, HC-110 Dil. B, Epson 4870 scan:

Then this afternoon I went out with some 35mm Plus-X (only ~100 rolls left) and developed it in Donald Quall's monobath. Everyone says not to agitate, but nearly every negative had drag marks by the sprocket holes. I'll do it again tomorrow and agitate it. This overgrown lobster trap has just emerged from the snow:

I for one would have lowered my camera rather than stand up to those eyes. Scary...

 

Can't remember if I asked you before, Adam, but which film do you use for colour work? I know NY has dramatic light, but the colours on your shots pop.

Thanks, Ric.  Portra 400

Henry,

It was one of three frames in the whole roll where there weren't drag marks (light stripes extending across the film from each sprocket hole). I just developed another roll of Plus-X in the same monobath using a Rondinax tank, with continuous rotation. It looks perfect with no stripes. If you'll allow me one more post with a non-Leica camera, I will show an example from today's film when it is dry and scanned.

Hi Chris, I understand now
What tank have you early , also Rondinax ?

No problem for posting if it can help someone as practice

Thanks Chris for your reply

The first time I used a Paterson tank, but the problem turns out to have been inadequate agitation. The Rondinax requires continuous rotation, as only the bottom half of the film is immersed in the solution. This is today's effort, Plus-X in Qualls' monobath:

I'm delighted with the result! I have a roll of Plus-X in the M7 awaiting my next chance to go out for a walk.

PS what a shame this film is no longer made...

Chris, stunning picture . Thanks for posting. :)

 

The problem of continuous rotation (Rondinax) is the risk of starting gelatin with the silver grains.

I simply do a rotation of 5 to 10 seconds in my tank Paterson. Even with this method, I still have grain losses

 

What is the solution? (I ask all of you)  same risk for the Ilford HP5 as TX400
