Like this. Plain F? or F4? How big is your print? Looks like very nice work. I'm one of those loose canons who finds Nikon F's capable of MF quality work. Almost. This fits my thesis. THanks for posting!

I also like this. The shadows still show detail and the tones are even. Nicely done.

I can't help but think of Polywarmtone for this image! Nice!!

Plain F, with the panda 50mm f/2 lens, so nothing out of the ordinary. It's really a question of having interesting light and a subject that makes good use of it.

Agfa 135 is a really nice warmtone developer, and uses glycin. While some warmtone developers veer more towards the greenish-brown, this formula is reddish-brown after some quick selenium toning.

I have always liked these Sagiittaria Latifolia plants with their distinctively shaped leaves. Your nuanced image shows them off in great way. The rushes in the background make a nice contrasting texture. The tubers of the plants are said to taste like potatoes or chestnuts and were eaten by Native Americans.

@bluechromis Oh, I'm so glad to know this! I might actually try to sneak one...

@Alan9940 Yes, I was aiming for some chocolaty goodness. I'm still hoping for Polywarmtone, but in the meantime there's good things to do with Ilford.

@JWMster I printed this at 8x10. I think it could hold up to an 11x14.
