And the usual thought that springs to mind, although the blue skies, white buildings, blue roof is more what is thought of, not the mono that I took.

Same details as above.

Pete said theses would look good as a triptych, so last night i was in the darkroom printing with my Focomat 1C Ilford multigrade paper @ grade 5

 

They look much better in print than the scanned version

wow, very nice composition and interesting scene overall.  I like it in B&W, although I might try to enhance the contrast just a little.  I love the expansive feel.  It would make a lovely print.

Not sure what to do really, rock and a hard place scenario.

Having processed four different films ( FP4+, Delta 100, T-Max 100, and Tri-X ) all in the same developer, Rodinal at 1:50 was always going to be good/bad.

One thing though, visually there is a marked "difference" in "how they look", even just hanging. The FP4+ and Delta 100 rolls have an "oomph" that says good crunchy contrast, if you like that (I do). Something I used to get with APX100 and Rodinal. The two Kodak rolls looked "flat" in comparison.

 

So, in "scanning" (recall all I am doing is shooting the negs over an LED light, with an apo enlarger lens, and my Leica T) I end up with slightly "flat" looking files. Then these have to be inverted, negative to positive, and I am using LR to do this.

The tinkerer in me wants to up the contrast a heap, but the realist in me says the negs are not that gutsy anyway, plus the old 50 Summicron collapsible gives flatter results, so don't change it too much. Always a juggling match. Usually I opt of "Auto" in LR and leave it at that.

 

Hopefully I will secure a "proper" neg scanner in the coming week, and can reassess this process from there. Bouyed also by some of the results here and also at RFF I have a bulk roll of Double X coming, so am keen to try that. I have so far resisted buying another load of APX100 from Maco, simply as I am too tight to pay their increased postage, but I might weaken soon. In the meantime I will try some more Fomapan 100 and 200, plus use up the remaining T-Max 100 I have. The Tri-X I will store for a rainy day. Life is good.

Gary, I see you have a good experience of different films. I also used many b&w films Ilford, Agfa, Fuji, Bergger, Kodak ... what I want is a "real" b&w, not b&w of digital camera sensor (black is not beautiful, it is a "boiled" in some photos). Finally for something clear and beautiful black and nuance of gray, there are only Kodak TX , may be some Ilford like FP4, D100.
In Kodak I will try the TX100.
As said a famous photographer who has returned to film, "each film is a new sensor"

Have a nice day Gary :)
