  1. Re: Foma Fomapan 100 in rodinal : exposing and developing

    An interesting range of times: I shoot at 80ASA and develop Rodinal 1+50 at 9 minutes; top end of the massive dev chart figures.

    Some caveats:

    - I develop to scan; I don't have printing...

    Re: Fomapan 100, 200 and 400

    An experiment: a post-office red post box (what other colour could it be) in a whitewashed wall, close to noon - with a film that cuts off deep red at 650nm. I expected something quite contrasty.

    AG Photographic in the UK has Adox CHS II 4x5 at £38 for 25 sheets; 5x7 at £63 for 25 sheets. They have FP4+ at £40 and £70 for the same sizes and quantities. But Fomapan 4x5 is £33 for fifty...

    Re: Adox CHS100II Yay or Nay?

    I started using it some years back largely because it was a lot cheaper than FP4 - which I was using because PAN-F became unavailable. In the UK it's now at price parity with FP4, so perhaps it's...

    Agreed. I sit there, see a door with a nice shadow on it, and it *never* works when I develop the neg.

    As TC said - you need to be sure of the focus and it's not necessarily the distance from the iris to the film. Focus with a ground glass for your hyperfocal distance, then measure from the ground...
