Hi everybody,
I just completed the profiling of a couple of widely available papers (Ilford MG RC and FB) used in-camera and then inverted using “Roba Apposta” by Branco Ottico, an Italian company. “Roba Apposta” is a reversal development process sold as a kit that works on both film and paper. I used it only on paper.
I am quite happy with it.
I made two videos of this profiling, using a Heiland TRD-2 densitometer:
Part One: https://youtu.be/bH0y5qAJeDw
Part Two: https://youtu.be/mWIv2Y7O0CM
Both are in Italian, a lovely language for sure :cool:, but not many understand it :)
On a more useful note :o I wrote a paper in English which is pretty much the translation of both videos with same pictures, numbers, etc. Here is the link:

Scans and measurements can be downloaded, the links are in the description of the videos and in the aforementioned paper.
I included below an example from a project I just started (“Syringes”). It’s an Ilford MG FB 14x17in cut from 16x20 and used inside my Lotus ULF camera. G-Claron 355mm @ f/45.5
I have no relationship to Branco Ottico so I suggest you have a look at their site if interested:
