Fomapan 100 in a Mod54 development advice and sample shots?

[NoBob]

Hi,

Does anyone have any advice on developing Fomapan 100 in a Mod54, please? Some sample shots would be great.

Thanks.

I have run close to a box of Foma 100 through a mod54, usually using Rodinal, but on occasion Finol and xtol as wel. With Rodinal and xtol and normal development, I find the starting points as you can find them on the massive dev chart perfectly usable. Stand development is also a possibility, but you risk uneven development as a result of the geometry of the mod54 film holder, so I would recommend a normal agitation regime. With Finol, I have had good results with a development time of around 10 minutes.

This is with Rodinal 1+50:

Thanks. I had a look at FilmDev as well. Do you know if the 35mm recipes hold up for 4x5, too?

For my purposes they do, yes. But I don't really follow a scientific approach to photography; if the negatives look good, scan well and print well, I'm satisfied.
