Süd Tyrol Hiking September 2016 #3

Impressive view - excellent work here !!

Thank you Macfred. Back in the early 1990's I used to use a lot of FP4 but later I started using TMax and then Delta and especially 400 speed. I found the light too unreliable in the UK for medium speed films as general purpose. In the Alps, at altitude, there is so much light that I thought I would try FP4 again. I am glad I did. Paired with Xtol (which is fairly new to me) the results are lovely. I had forgotten what beautiful film FP4 is, especially in 120. I also really like Xtol!

At the end of the month I'm going to Munich, Bavaria - hoping for fine weather to take a hike to the local mountains.
I will carry my old FUJI GW670, a few rolls of Provia and -probably- some FP4 (no T-MAX 100 currently ...).

Have a great trip. I have been to München many times and I love it there but often I have had too much beer. There are many interesting buildings to photograph in the city and beyond as well as nature. If you particularly want a T-grain film at 100 you could use Delta 100.

Stunning work! I'd love to admire the copy!!

Thank you very much. I made several of these prints so I'd be happy to send you a copy (gratis) if you PM me. It's 10"x8" and RC paper but I could make a larger print to order (for a nominal charge). I do not have the time or facilities for fibre paper. Nor do I have time for the snobbishness about RC paper. There is a long thread about Xtol with various rants about how awful it is. This film was developed in Xtol and I have no complaints.
