P30 first roll, retaining wall.

I thought it appropriate that the first roll of P30 be the first roll through the newly overhauled X-570.

I'll need to check with my Bay area buddy to see if he ever got his roll of p30. This looks good to me with regard to being crisp and some fine detail. Looks slightly hot but that could be anything there on exposure, processing, etc. Overall, I'd say looks like an excellent take and outcome from the first roll. I like it....
 
Can you explain "hot"?

The wall is facing south under high, thin, lightbox clouds in late morning. The blocks are typical red retaining wall and the squares are a light tan.
 
I should have made a better definition on the highlight areas. Basically, it's just the right sides of the bolted blocks here. The whites are a bit "hot" or extremely bright. No big issue and easy enough to tone down some in various ways......
 
Ok, I understand. Yes, the sides of the bolted blocks are facing the sun more directly at that time of day.

Have you seen the post #212 in the P30 thread by Urmonas showing his shot of a color chart? I think this agrees a lot with his results. I don't have the photographic language to really describe it, but P30 does appear to exaggerate across the grey scale. Would that be a steep characteristic curve? My examples don't agree with the lack of red sensitivity, but they do show extra blue. I have other shots that lead me to suspect it's actually lower in the green. I think the shot taken over my back fence shows this a bit.
