A few recent ones (mainly T-max 100) around Avebury (Keith's stomping ground).

 

 

 
 

Indeed - and just to prove it, here are the Neolithic earthworks watched over by some impressively bare trees.   Another Rolleicord/XP2/Rodinal shot.

I started this year with only one new years resolution. I want to start developing my own Black an White film at home in 2016.

 

I order a "Starter Kit" with Rodinal and planned to shot a few cheap test films from my local drug store to start with.

Nevertheless I couldn't wait anymore and developed a Tri-X @ 1600 full of great shots. I failed. -.-

Maybe you noticed my thread in the darkroom area... 

 

Thanks to the Forum I know what I got wrong and shot a cheap drug store film to give it a second try  :lol:  :rolleyes:

I think it worked quite well. 

 

As always, M6 with 35 Summicron IV and yellow filter. Shot on APX 100. 

 

 

 

Great detail and tones - excellent results!

Excellent results Max. I particularly like the first one.

Stunning, Robert.  A far cry from the CInestill 50 you were asking about; but demonstrative of the fact that just about any good film will work given the right composition and lighting (which you managed to find in spades here)

Did you end up trying out the CInestill 50?

All these fantastic b&w photos have me wanting to shoot more of that. I usually use Tri-X and Double-X which I really like. But great as they are I'm beginning to want to shoot something more fine-grained.

 

I only use HC-110 and Diafine so would you, esteemed members, know which of the slow fine-grained b&w films out there (in 135) will work well with these developers? 

 

Thanks in advance

Awesomely good, really Ansel Adams level and this with 24*36mm. Great!

I see no harm in HC110 for Delta100 although I prefered Gammanool from Amaloco which is gone now. My next experiment will be SPUR with Delta100
