Makiflex 180 F2.8 Zebra Sonnar FOMA by Nokton48, on Flickr

The zebra 180mm F2.8 CZJ Sonnar (uber hacked rear mount completely removed, refitted into Plaubel Peco Jr recessed board). Makiflex Standard FOMA 200 Mic-X. Lens will just cover, 18"x18" area is as far out as it will focus. Amazing Sonnar bokeh. This lens is a fave for Pentacon Six fans, this is pushing the envelope with larger format. I like the delicate natural lighting on this one.

Buttermilk Falls
In my younger days I would have jumped the fence to get a better view of the falls from the gorge, getting old sux.

Hello, does anyone used T-Max developer with Fomapan films? I heard of good results with Fomapan 200; I'd like to know if somebody used it with Fompan 100 and 400 and may share his experience.
So far I use it with HC110 in 1+31 and 1+39 with good but not exceptional results (shadows are still very low without detail, unlike the same scene photographed with FP4 or HP5).
With the new (and continuous) rise of Ilford films prices I really have to consider to go only for Foma film in all the formats.
Thank you

This is beautiful. Yeah, jumping that fence with an 8x10 would be a little bit iffy.

I don't use T-max developer anymore. But I have had very good results from Fomapan 100 by exposing it at about 40 ASA and developing it in PMK at a rate of 1.5:2:100 for 10-12 minutes.

No, but X-Tol 1+1 (mainly for pushing) and E-76 1+1 (the Metol/Hydrochinon free D-76) gave me excellent results, leading to my very personal impression that Fomapan films are feeling like fish in the water with Phenidone/Ascorbic Acid in it...
