That's really neat Randy. I like it!

All the ortho films of the past were not the same, just as all current pan films are different. I will have to search for a negative which I have kept from the 30's and post it when I do. it was made on Verichrome and developed to completion, as were most films of the era. the skin tones are quite normal, not ruddy at all.

There's an interesting discussion of the old film types and response charts starting here: https://archive.org/stream/pictorial...e/n74/mode/2up

Thanks Pali!

Ok, the Agfa green got here, and the guillotine got here, so hopefully I should have some film in holders by the weekend (I have to wait until after midnight to lose the street lighting around here).

Quick reminder for exposure and possible starter time for dev in RO9, please?

Try 50 ASA for daylight or strobe, in Rodinol/RO9 1/100 for 8 minutes. Then as they say, adjust!

nicely done, Randy.

How did you project it, if you don't mind me asking?

FOTAR 10X10 enlarger with DIY head LED Shop light from Costco $40, 3500 lumens. Too powerful, so I stopped way down with one layer of LD Makrolon diffusion. Needs 2 layers.

150mm Componon. 4X5 interpositive at 60" filled entire baseboard.

My test strips were 8x10 X-Ray.



Not tanks, tray developed one at a time.

Great Pic. I'm a Harley guy myself. Was this a contact print, or a scanned? What was your exposure time, and development time?
Again, nice job looks like my 03 Sportster. West Cost Randy.

97, but I have 3 sets tins, 1995, 97, 03. It's an iPod shot of RC paper contact print. The 11x14 X-Ray CSG double sided developed in Rodinol 1-100 tray for 8 minutes. No scanning, I prefer prints.
