Technical Pan Test 04

Wow! Looks great. How did you rate the film speed?

I am not sure how a car would pass there, even for access! Unless some of the bollards can be removed?

Just reminds me I have not been back to the UK in eight years.

No Cars allowed there it is pedestrianised now -- it USED to be a 'Through Road' For these I rated the film at 25 ASA -- some were a bit 'dense' so could use 40 ASA next time. I would say if anyone wants to use their OWN 'RODINAL ' which is probably much FRESHER than mine to test first or the results may be very contrasty with Technical pan.

Great results in these shots Peter, although I'm wondering how you chose the 1+30 dilution? Barry Thornton suggested 1:200 in Elements, and the massive dev chart suggests other dilutions to conserve your precious brown stuff! https://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php?Film=Kodak+Technical+Pan&Developer=&mdc=Search&obs=Y

Yes -- I had a look at those 'Dilutions' -- the 'initial test' i did with a 35mm TP was with 1+50 as I am finding my RODINAL is so old now that it is really 'on it's way out' -- when I tried it with Agfa Ortho Document film 25 ASA I used 1+50 and really the negs were under-developed so I put some more Rodinal in the the next test and I reckoned it was 1 + 30 and results were better so I did the maths for my small Paterson Tank Series 2 and used 9.5 mls of Rodinal in 285 mls total which covered the 120 film and that was 1+30 and gave the results I got - some negs were even a bit 'Dense' at 10 minutes so I could use 40 ASA and cut time a fraction for next test. I 'Warn' people if YOUR Rodinal is 'FRESH' then 1+30 will probably be too strong. I HAVE a fresh bottle as well.
