Sergei, Next I will try R09 1/100 at 7:30, may as well copy the best. And I got a fresh bottle, never tried it.
I need to burn up this Ilfosol-3 on 35 mm, I hate that stuff, goes bad way too fast.
Soon, I want to mix all own, out of simple chems. D23, citrus, water...
Using Ken Lee's advice, no point in reinventing the wheel, when I can't drive...

I did my own methol-hydrochinon ( whatever spelling is) developer when i was teen, from aero-photography lab chems . I never ever want to do it again :)
I don't want exotic, but when I took a college darkroom course 15 years ago the very DIY instructor had giant buckets of raw chems under giant sinks. He wrote the standard formula on the inside of the trays. I always made fresh and would usually do 12 hour sessions. I am just now getting back into wet work and I am new to anything bigger than 35mm. My darkroom stalled over winter and I need to get it done, before summer. I need to hurry...
Now I am in the bathroom, it is a big bathroom, but my new darkroom will be very big. I am actually making the entire loft light tight. My cave. :)

so, I am used to can developing under full light and use a iPod app for timer, not such a good idea for tray processing, it rang and lit up anyway...
guys, i'm thinking of purchasing xray film this week but i'm a bit anxious about my film getting toast before it gets here. anyone from overseas had tried ordering these film from the US without having a problem? i will send my films to my friend in the us and he will ship the film to me. quite a lot of work but that's my option right now. what do you think guys?
thank you!
Today. Overcast, 14 inch heliar, packard shutter, no filter. Kodak 8x10 CSG , 1+100 Rodinal, 7:30m

Better exposure. CSG cut to 5X7 with scratches, water drops, dust and moire. My AN glass is either too big or too small. I may go back to 2X3, easier to do 8 sheets in a tank.

cool tone variation in beard (or just beard envy.. mine is darn itchy whenever i am trying to get it "real") :)
