A few days ago I bought a few boxes of 4x5 Technical Pan from Ebay. I LOVE Tech pan in 35mm format and wanted to try my hand at using it in 4x5.

Today I shot a couple of shots to see if the Technical Pan was still good. It was just a quick shot a couple minutes down a local trail, so nothing special. But, from this exposure, I can see that I'm going to LOVE shooting the rest of the 4x5 Tech Pan I have. The same great emulsion that I've come to know in 35mm, just on a much larger scale.

Shot on a Zone VI 4x5 and Fujinon SW 124mm F5.6 lens and developed in Rodinal 150:1 for 7 minutes.

Very nice result! When did yourTech Pan expire?
I always wondered if I should use this film because I thought it would be too contrasty, but looking at your photo it seems to render really cool.

Lovely...and it's an example of assumption that clouds are more important than foreground etc. Crop from the top!

I was given some Technical Pan (35mm) recently and I filleted the IN to find a development scheme using Rodinal. I came up with EI 25 at 13 minutes, Rodinal 1+150, 68 degrees F, minimal agitation. The results were good, but I may take your time with the next roll. I really like your image, I didn't like the dust on my negatives though.
