First go with the Prescysol EF on one of two films I exposed for the purpose of testing their claims of being able to develop different speed films at the same time, this was from a roll of Tri-X and when I first opened the tank I was pretty underwhelmed to be honest, the negs were very thin on both films (the other was a roll of FP4+) with the frame numbers being quite faint. I had followed the instructions completely to the letter giving a pre-soak of 5 minutes along with a dev time of 10.5 minutes for partial stand development at 24 degrees C with continuos agitation of the first minute and then 10 seconds agaitation every 3 minutes thereafter.
My next films will be developed for circa 13 minutes with everything else staying the same.
In saying I was unhappy with the negatives I have to confess that they did actually scan quite well, and although the grain was more noticeable than I would have liked it was quite balanced across the film with no large clumps. The overall pictorial quality was not unpleasant.
So, another roll from my favourite spot at the moment (luckily it is on the way to one of my works) and was shot on the Mamiya C330f with the 180mm lenses. Different view with the afternoon light strathing across the fields (I've only previously shot here in the mornings).
