The FS was probably one I sent in on a trade. If it is, it’s been serviced.

Both were scanned with a Sony A7II using a FE90 2.8 macro, Negative Supply Pro Carrier 135 and a 5X7 Lightsource Pro 95 CRI. Post processing was with RAWPower by Gentlemen Coders. Since these, I've switched to Negative Lab Pro. The driftwood was a 1:3 dilution of Film Photography Project FPP-76...

Bellini C41 kit is about $44 usd from Freestyle Photo and will do 8-10 rolls of 135-36: https://www.freestylephoto.com/2510001-Bellini-Kit-C-41-1-Liter-Negative-Film-Processing-Kit

The M3 stared production the year I was born but have always preferred the M2 or M4. I do own a Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 that came off the line on my twenty second birthday.

Here's an old thread with a lot of information: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/delta-400-in-rodinal.11236/

The increase development is because Delta 400 is a tabular grain film. HP4 and HP5 are the older cubic grain films. Also, are you using the Rodinal at 1:25 or 1:50?

When you slide the leader under the tab, yo should see an arrow pointing in the direction of the rewind. Also, slip the leader under the tab by sliding it in from above instead of trying to push it in from the end. It's not much slower than the rapid load, it just takes some practice.

When I owned a M2, I had an extra spool and a roll of film with the leader fed under the tab. It was just as fast as the rapid load and way more secure.

The original SX-70 was designed for 160 speed film and needs a conversion to use the much faster 600 speed. Even with a flash, your pictures will be underexposed by several stops. A better choice at this time would be to purchase a pack of 160 film and a flash bar. Even better, one of the solid...

Leica designed the swing out polarizer to allow the user to see the effect. If you already have a 32mm polarizer on your IIc, using a second one to view the effect then adjust the one on the camera to the same point. The rangefinder is a separate unit and not affected by any filters on the lens.

Here's a thread that might help: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/tri-x-developed-in-rodinal.193470/

I gave up trying to do either too much dilution (1+3) or too many rolls (2 in a 500 ml tank 1+1). I'm probably using way more developer than I need, a 1+1 dilution of D-76 but just one 135-36 roll in a 500 ml tank.

The Film Photography Project FPP-76 is a good D-76 clone and it's available in one liter packages. They also have a HC-110 clone in a 250ml bottle.

Thanks for the information. I just ordered three one liter bags of XT-3. Added a bottle of Rodinal, too.

The fact that the photographer who still develops their own film is becoming a smaller and smaller demographic. Fortunately, there are still companies producing a number of products, the prices are still reasonable and I am thankful for that.
