Film is Ilford FP4+ souped in D76 1+1.

Oh wow, I didn't know FP4+ could have that look, nice job!

It IS weaker, that's why it works. The 85B is too strong and over does the blue cast.

85B has a heavier "orange" tone to WARM the image so for example on Tungsten film which ends up blue if NO filter is used, looks normal if a filter is used, so my tiny brain is not understanding why it would look MORE blue with a stronger warming filter... Please help me understand I don't get it.

I love Foma 100 for 4x5" but the problem of this film huge reprocity failure is not solved with a tripod. When you have a lightmeter reading of 1 minute exposure, you have to shoot with a 16 minute exposure!!!! If you are shooting something after sunset, during winter, during the 16 minute exposure, the light falls down at a value that would need not a 16 minute exposure but something like 1 hour exposure and, then, there is no light at all. It's a good film for bright light. For those after sunset photos during winter, I don't know nothing better than Fuji Acros 100, but it is fucking expensive...I tried it at 4 minute exposure, during night, with no exposure compensation and the image is perfect, with no developing compensation, too.

Agreed

Not sure if it makes much difference, but the first was shot through a red filter and the second through a yellow filter.

Just out of curiosity (and since I'm somewhat newish to b&w film and developing), how do these shots differ from the look you'd expect from FP4+?

This is a spectacular photograph. I love it!

Thank you, Daniel.

FP4+, Kodak Plus-x pan, Fuji Acros, Fomapan 100 and Adox Art series 100, have a similar look, imo.

I think it is a testament to the photographer/artist to be able to produce consistently great results, regardless of the materials used. Your shot at Adraga is just wonderful.

I have both, obviously, 85B and 85A. And I can tell which is which only by looking at the text on the barrel. They look the same to my eyes. Look at this curves (from Hoya site):

It seems the CDU-II is type I tungsten film, so it requires a specific spectral curve to get the image right.
