Someone has used this film?
How can the sensitivity?
Tolerate the red light?

It's either blue or ortho film so you can safely use it under a red or amber safelight.

Sorry my English is not too good..

So:
I tried on 8x10" this lens: Fujinon-W 250/6,3 but not really enough...
Are you use a long time ago this lens for 8x10?
Do you have any Vignetta, darkness in the corners, when you use correction (horizontal/vertical)?
My serial number is: 494117 and yours?
Thank you!

The W 250 has an image circle of 320. It should just cover 8x10. Make sure you stop down to f/22.

D-76 1+4 for one hour? Are you doing stand/semi-stand?

And here is one with 30m(inutes :P) m same dilution and process. I think i am sticking with 30m for now, moving up from 12. General feeling is better.

Very nice. Scene gives me ideas. Process also interesting.

Thanks

Here is 35m rotary with 1:225 dilution pf Adonal (i had to run to the shop, to pick up bread for kid ;))



Very very delicate tones in highlights. I thought i blew them up , judging negative alone, but proven to be wrong. (oh come on.. 15s exposure that i counted in missisipies ;)) So i think i am going to be back to longer times for scenes with higher range.
