I was not pleased with how grainy it is though. Is this the film or the developer/film combination? I would expect 50 speed film to be a little finer than this. I am accustomed to normally shooting TMY2/xtol, but tmax400 is not compatible with caffenol-c. Crop from 2400dpi scan:

i process old tmy in caffenol C all the time and i add a little print developer ( ansco 130 )
in there to boost the contrast a bit ...
they are a great combination ...
i guess i am someone that doesn't worry about grain, since it is part of film photography, so ... i embrace it ...

Dear Nana,

There you go again... :)

I'll bet money that you are a frigging great musician too... !

Damn you are good.

LOLLLLLL :D

I've been playing tenor, alto and soprano sax for 30 years but I'm not so sure I can play it well enough.;)

I should have my own website as a musician and as a photographer but, I don't!!! Yet...

meanwhile, you can hear me playing soprano sax at my friend Miguel Braga (piano player) Webpage.
I'm playing with Miguel and brasilian singer Ivan Lins on the song "O meu ritual". You must wait a little bit so the songs appear on a window upper right.

After you hear that, you will know I'm a better photographer than musician...:D

Dear Nana,

Bravo, great music... :)

I could not do that.

Ditto, what I said before.

Thanks; I'll try a sheet sometime in that combination. Haven't mixed developers yet.

I'll have to do some more scientific comparisons regarding where the grain came from. I'd just have used MF or 35mm if I wanted big grain.

Everyday I'm astounded by the great photographs I see here. It keeps me coming back for more.
Thanks to everyone for sharing.
