If I can't get that look with the HR-A film available here, I'll put an order for 3 boxes of the HR-T.

Maybe we can trade! I like the look you got, and a 200 speed film to boot!!
Good idear! I have to admit, I've been really proud of myself for finding my own developing times and the correct speed of this emulsion. It's a lot of work doing one negative at a time in a tray. Six negatives took about 5 hours. Our water heater is broken and the tap water is around 12 degrees Celsius. I have to do 10 water washes with water from our drinking water filter that has hot and cold filtered water. I use all the water up and have to wait for the filter to make more hot water. Haha.Quote:

I should try it some day, if the film is soaking wet perhaps there will be an equilibrium between the liquids and I won't get so much migration. Or perhaps I'm deluding myself thinking that might work.Quote:

I strip while still wet. But I dilute my bleach 1:1 with water. That really seemed to do the trick - I don't even bother taping the film down any more. I do rinse the film several times while stripping it to wash off the bleach and emulsion that has dissolved.
Hay Bryan, I was just wondering. What is your new scanner? I have a new un-opened box of Green X-Ray film, and I would like to scan the finished product. I can only scan 4x5's at this time. So I'm in the market for something that will work well with the 8x10. Thanks, R.Delung Seattle Wa.
He has a Screen Cezanne.
Yep, that's correct. There aren't a whole lotta choices for scanning 8x10 without a lot of hassle - might want to check out the Epson V700 or Microtek M1 to start with. I've used both, they can both make decent scans, but the Cezanne is in a whole other league.
8x10 CSG (kodak full speed green). 12 minutes in 1+60 Rodinal (yes, i know.. not standard dillution, big whoop ;)).
Orange filter on Gundlach Radar 8x10. f8, i believe ( i shot for couple hours, and i have nasty habit of not recording things for real.. but most of session was metered around 11-16, and filter eats out about 2).
