I finally got around do trying this film. I wanted to try it in 4x5 before moving up to 8x10 and 8x20. I also wanted to test a couple of lenses that I got.
The exposures were all N, N+1 and N+2. I use Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 @ 70 deg. for 8 mins. for the N and the negs are great for enlarging. I developed them in a dip and dunk tank and no scratches! I was impressed with how this film worked with a little 6 1/2" Gundlach lens that I just got and equally well with a Petzval. I'll post some prints when I get them done. I also shot some Polaroid 55 of the same scenes and the look is similar. Anyone notice the similarities between these two films. I love the look of the 55 and maybe I've found a substitute for 8x10 and8x20! I'm going to try tray developing and see if I can do it without scratches.
Stay Focused....or Soft Focused!!
