Thanks Jason. I’m going to keep experimenting with Pyrocat, and different dilutions and agitation schemes, for a while, then Dektol, D-23, or Rodinal might be next.

Would Fuji IX film through an FIP7000 processor be suitable for images?
If you want continuous tones, probably not.Quote:

I agitated constantly for the first minute in the developer, plus for 5 seconds every 30 seconds thereafter. The scan was made in a sleeve on Epson 4990. I bumped the exposure slightly in LR, but it’s basically a straight scan. Exposure was 1/10 f45, Symmar 210mm, UV filter only. I shot the second negative with a yellow filter, and will develop that tomorrow, but I think this dilution and agitation are pretty close.

If that sky is supposed to be very slightly cloudy, then I think it looks great David!
Yep, those are clouds. I’m going to stick to this procedure.
It looks as if you have found your exposure/development combo which works well for you.
Thanks Jim. If I recall correctly you also have been using Pyrocat with x-ray film. I would be interested in your procedures, if you don’t mind sharing them again. This thread is very hard to search.
Best,
Dave
Well done, the image looks great! This certainly seems to be working very well.Quote:

There is more tone in the partly cloudy skies, so I think using a yellow filter could be useful.
