Did someone mention neolithic sites?

 

I became I little obsessed with these during my time in the UK.

It's nice to read positive experiences with Fomapan (and good photos too). I'm about to shoot my first rolls of the ISO 100 variety to compare with APX 100 and Acros 100 (the latter I have no previous experience with and will try it in both 135 and 120). Rumour has it these three films work well with Diafine. Does anyone know if that's true? My only other (current) alternative is HC-110.

 

Of the three I have used Acros 100 in both. I far prefer the results in HC-110 Dil E:

No, unfortunately not. And looking at the images online I probably should have. I saw it on a couple of websites but ended up spending more time revisiting Trethevy and Lanyon amongst others.

 

Thanks for looking.

Dorset coast, near Durdle Door. XP2 (just to keep this honest).

I went to my office to catch the sunrise last week.  

Caught a few with EKTAR and here is one.

A colleague is retiring and I was thinking of making a large print of this on Fuji Flex for him as a gift to with the message that, although he is retiring, his sun is still rising...  :)

Thank you Chris. That does look good. Out of curiosity, was this image edited at all? On my screen it has a slightly "flat" appearance (which I get out of the scanner) though of course that could be due to the light that day. Why do you prefer HC110 over Diafine?

 It's dull for two reasons - it was overcast and raining, plus I took it with one hand while holding an umbrella over me with the other! I don't think I did much at all to it after scanning—you can see I haven't even cropped out the left hand edge of the negative.

I've played around quite a lot with Diafine, always looking for the easy way to develop. Presoaking the film, varying the times and agitations, but it always gives me more grain than I like. There are two situations where I still use it—Plus-X rated at 400 comes out smooth enough that it is as good as a single bath developer, and for large format film (10x8 film in BTZS tubes or 4x5 in a Paterson three reel tank and a Mod54 negative holder) where the very large negatives conceal the grain well, and it is more practical as developing a set of negatives involves a large volume of developer and it to have a re-usable developer makes it much cheaper. So far for me, this has always been HP5+ rated at 640. But you might well discover some way of getting better results and I look forward to seeing what you produce!
