Finally, I've got my latest films developed and scanned. I disassembled my scanning rig in hope to get soon EFH (The Essential Film Holder #essential_film_holder), but it took 3 months to perform simple laser cut on plastics and ship it with Royal mail... What can I say? EFH is a good thing, but 3 months to wait is way too long. Too long. From the other hand, I still cannot use my copying stand with it because of not having enough hight. So, finally I assembled back my old good scanning rail and copied all 150 negatives 😅.

One thing makes me happy is that cheap #fomapan #fomapan100 film. I run out of my previous developer Fx-39 #fx39 and bought that new for me - HC-110 #hc110, a German-made replica of original Kodak developer. And other great thing was to shoot 100 film at ISO64 and develop at dilution 63:1. This gave me fantastic contrast and negative density I like so much. I bought bulk roll of fomapan 100, happy with it so far.

One of these things is not like the other…😅

I also reduced my dev time by 15%. With #XTOL I didn’t really have to worry about that switching to rotation, but #HC110 seems a lot more sensitive to it based on the other negs I’ve scanned so far being super dense. It looks to me like I could have reduced it further - but it’s hard to tell given these were shots of dark mountains and bright skies. The two shots where it appears I clearly metered on the mountains look the best so far, but I am still looking forward to seeing how these scan.

I need to go take some pictures of some familiar spots with this film and developer combo to be a better benchmark. #LargeFormat #DevelopYourOwn
