Correct, however I wanted to use a fine-grain developer and it was on the list for use with continuous agitation. It worked very well in fact.

Does this seem strange? could it be a different dilution?
Both look great, just wondering

I believe one is D76 1:1 and the other is D76 stock solution. Yes, different dilutions.

I developed my pic (of the gal in the dress) in D76 straight, no dilution.

This is a fantastic photo. I am, once again, seeing a certain richness and beautiful tonality. Yes, I know it's hard to tell from a scan on a computer screen, etc., but, nevertheless, your photo shows off the film's potential really well to me.

I'm willing to bet that Ferrania didn't do tests using a dental X-ray processor!

Welcome back everyone. So let's talk about this. I think I get it now. One roll through my F100 was fine, the second one auto-rewound about two thirds of the way in. I didn't catch the frame number and have no desire to pull the leader and advance to some arbitrary point and risk multiple exposures. So I'll develop as is. A pity to lose those frames though.

Must be something about the cassettes. But it seems to be valid advice!

Ferrania recommends manual winders only. No powered.

That's a major drawback, surely, for those of us who have auto-wind cameras and there may be many in that category. I wonder what it is about the film that makes it unfriendly to auto-winders. First time I heard of any film having this problem.

By the way your shots, now we have migrated to Photrio look so much clearer and sharper. That is not to say they were bad before - they were not but this seems to be on another level . I don't think I had seen Ces1um's shots under the old APUG systems to compare but I suspect that they are clearer also.

It might be just me of course, expecting things to be better now we are in the new era of APUG but digging into my subconscious I don't think I had such expectations. Anyone else noticed this effect?

It is a little disingenuous for them to say that they went from zero to P30 in nine months. They began working on the project in 2012, two years before they did their Kickstarter in 2014, so its more like zero to P30 in five years. I wish them luck though.

Any chance that the cassettes had dx coded 24 frames for this film and the camera rewinded automatically?

To quote the "Best practices" document:

We have seen some motorized cameras break the film, especially less-expensive point-and-shoot cameras from the 80s and 90s. We really think it’s best to use a fully manual, non-motorized camera.​

I leave it to people who know film-making (i.e. not me) to make inferences.

Nope. The DX code comes taped over. I developed the film and got 21 shots.

That's a different problem then, and the F100 is hardly a less expensive point and shoot. Anyway, could be just a fluke or bad luck for me. Could be the camera too, but I doubt it.

I think you're right. The highlights on the sides of the big square blocks don't look as blown out. The hydrant chains have more detail. Overall, I think all 3 are a bit darker.
