Ilford Pan F+ and Rodinal combination

[thenikonknight]

Like I stated before, for this batch of negatives, I used the Massive Dev. chart for times and temps. I have not printed any images out yet. These are scans of the negative. I am wondering if my scanner may be an issue. I am using an older Epson perfection 2400 photo. I don't have the funds to justify a film scanner. I was able to clean this image up, as I was with the others from these 2 rolls. Here are the results. I will continue with Pan F+ and Rodinal combination until I am finished with this batch and maybe experiment with another film. BTW - my negatives for these 2 rolls do not look muddy but rather have a nice amount of detail vs. my last 2 rolls processed. My personal favorite was Kodak Tech Pan with Technidol (I still have a roll of 100' in the freezer that I am saving for the right time). I have not seen another 35mm format film come close.

You can stay with PanF+/Rodinal combo and play with other variables like dilution, agitation and may be to certain extent with EI.

Fine tune and see how printing goes with the targeted paper.

I got into the Pan F+ / Rodinal combination mostly for economic reasons. I have enough financial commitments but I still want to shoot - this combination lets me do that. I also enjoy shooting slow film as my favorite subjects are nature/scenery/travel. Like I mentioned before, these last couple of rolls did expose well but just did not scan that great. Some image editing tweaking seems to work.
I appreciate everyone's input. Now, off to print.
