In general, “universal” developers should produce low fog. The tradeoff might be slightly lower emulsion speed than some dedicated film developers,...

Excellent. Thanks to you also, j.e.

"Train Rides Here" Garibaldi, Oregon Hasselblad / 80mm

Yes, but at what point does one stop? The thought I was posing in the initial post was really one of historical use, family value and the general fun...

These days I've been using DDX. Never tried Rodinal, I thought it was for slow emulsions only?

Nice image, Randy!

Arista 400 EDU 5x7 developed in Rodinal 1:50 is one of my go-to combinations. I plan on mixing up some D-23 to try with it for comparison.

Just got a box of Foma 400 (5x7 format) - will give it a shot to see how it works for me:)

mine was shipped out today ! hopefully a quick trip across the country and in my dirty mitts this week :)

If the 270mm Tele Xenar is in a Compur# 2 shutter that requires a 52.5mm mounting hole ...

The 200 product certainly doesn't accept boosted contrast "plus" development like true 200's such as Super-XX or even Bergger 200 did. That might...

I don't have a great memory, but what I've found is that making photographs greatly enhances my memory of places and experiences. I make the...

Dick Arentz And Jim Fitzgerald are two of my favorites. Roger

Excellent, "greens" are always a mystery to me (unfortunate for our part of the world;)) so it's nice to see what can be done "filterless."

Think Schneider Claron lens cells thread direct into industry standard shutters like Copal. Check the lens barrel -vs- shutter spacing and threading...
