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
Second time loading went better - only dropped two sheets in the dark bag…
This was a pain in the hole to load for the first time, but so far I already like it better than the Stearman Press tank…looking forward to seeing how these first 6 sheets came out. Also my first foray into HC-110 dilution B. 270 ml solution made with 8.5 ml of concentrate. Running for 10:40 at 17.9°.
My first few sheets of #TriX in the Graflex are nice and dense. Much denser off the bat compared to the Arista 100 I’ve finally finished working through. Two more exposures to go - have to wait for Sir-Leaks-A-Lot to dry out…
Two of the sheets look like I could’ve slid them further into the film holders. Will need to keep that in mind as I load some for a trip to the mountains this weekend. Planning on taking some #FP4 as well as various other films for other formats.
