Does one still have to change the shutter speed or wind the film to close the shutter on "T"? Always thought that was the weirdest thing. I just ended up using the lens cap to end the exposure. Have a lot of fun with it!!

Yes, this is the case. If I ever need to do long exposure (wich I will) I will end exposure with cap for sure!

Hello one90guy,

I mostly use Rodinal. For the photo above I used it at a dilution of 1+25 for 9 minutes @ 20°
I have a box of Perceptol that I want to try out.

Just started using Rodinal, my first attempt was stand developing, 1+200 for 1 hour. Did 2 35mm and 1 120 with mixed results. Was thinking of trying 1+50 or 1+25 next. Thanks for the reply, have a great weekend.

When I stand develop with Rodinal I always go with 1+100.
