Short Arms & Long Pockets
Hi Craig,
Thanks for the follow up & reply mate
From the posts further up this thread that's exactly what I did my friend, both developers (Ilfosol-3 & FD10) have given me decent results treating the film as FP4 (which happens to be one of my favz)
There are shots in my portfolio of scanned ERA100 although they have been through Lightroom and/or PS4.
I'm not sure if it's the scanner Craig but the negs seem pretty 'flat' by the time I've scanned them (without any messing with the histogram etc in the scanner s/ware).
It's an Epson scanner and just a simple click on 'auto optimize' really changes the pic so I reckon the flatness is possibly just the preview as the negatives look ok.....hope that makes sense!
As you say, at that price it's ideally suited to experimentation of times and general 'what if I try this?' situations.....and there's the extremely Scotsman friendly price too as you so kindly pointed out
However, we're only looking at a time of approx 4mins with Ilfosol-3 (1+9) @ 20C with 7.5mins for 1+14 so not too much scope for experimenting using 1+9?
FD10 has given some good results too, it's 6-8mins @ 1+9 and 9-12mins @ 1+14......actually I've just done mixing up enough FD10 to do a roll of TMax100 & a roll of TMax400 in a wee while.....
not together of course!
I'm glad you've had good results with the Microphen too, it's a dev I've not used
yet.
A good dev for "extended times" and push processing fast films like HP5+ & Delta 400 Pro huh?.....films which are probably in my fridge more so than any other ISO400 film....maybe I'll give it a try?
Thanks again for the reply Craig & be sure and drop in to say hi around the forum

Best Regards, Andy
