what was the last camera you used, last film and how was it developed

Thanks for that tip -- I've got a box of this in 4x5 and I'd hate to test it and find out the whole box is edge fogged (and the sheets I loaded worse than that).

I had 75 sheets of it, sealed. The first ones I used I tray developed under the safelight, thinking that was ok to do. While you do get an image, you also get a lot of fog - which I attributed to age. So I kept increasing the exposure. That didn't work.
It wasn't until I got a 4x5 reel for my Jobo that I developed it in the dark and realized I'd been fogging the film myself.
A good start time for Parodinal, by the way, is 11-12 minutes at 1:25 dilution. I think I could've shot it at iso50 and extended that development a bit and everything would've been fine.

And that is the good information that we come to Photrio for. Given I usually use 1:50 and reduced agitation, I should be good with a starting EI 50 and 25 minutes for the first test. I'll probably process in D-23, though; I have two liters of that getting seasoned for replenishment and my Agitank wants 1.6 L to cover 4x5.

My new-to-me Eastman #2 Improved 8x10.
Outdated Provia.
Shot to test film and camera...sort of a 'getting-acquainted' test run.
Will be lab processed.

Tested two nold (new-old) Flektogons (https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/flektogon-35mm-2-4.153231/post-2643790) one an f2.8 Zebra on an Exakta VX. The other an f2.4 MC Electric DDR on a Praktica MTL50. Both used ADOX CHS 100 II developed in ADOIX FX-39 in the same batch. Some comaprisons here if you are interested. Basically some pretty subtle differences in bokeh is the main difference I see between the two designs:

Finished up a roll of Legacy Pro 100 in Nikon N80 with a Nikkor AF 85mm f.4 and also shot a roll of Portra 400 in a Reality So Subtle 6x17, dropped both rolls of yo be lab processed.

Last Friday: Hasselblad 500C/M with Distagon C 50mm T* on HP5+, no filter, developed yesterday in E-76 1+1 for 15 min @ 20°C.
Friday was a rather foggy and windless day but the landscapes in the wet marches looked interesting because of to the reflections of the bare trees in the rippleless water...

Fomapan 100 in a Canon T90. Not developed yet.
Before that, same film in an Olympus OM-4Ti, developed in caffenol.

Donald Qualls · Mar 5, 2023

Finished up a roll of Fomapan (.EDU Ultra) 400 in my "White Russian" Moskva 5 on Friday afternoon, reloaded with XP2 Super for EI 800 and bleach bypass. Should get processed next weekend or so in D-23 stock, which will then be seasoned and starting replenishment.

Horizont. Two rolls of Ilford HP5. Ilfotec HC. Standard development times: 3.5 minutes developer, 1 minute stop, 5 minutes fixer, 30 minute wash. 30 second agitation every minute. Both came out completely blank.

Ruh roh. Not even edge markings?

I can't remember but basically I hadn't realised the film was not winding-on beyond the first couple of exposures. Those exposures were lost because the film tore on rewinding and they were left on the take-up spool when I opened the camera. And instead of processing the first film, I ran a second through it. And then I found it hadn't used the film I was developing.

At least, that's what i think happened. It's now at a repair shop because I actually liked using it!

Linhof Technikardan S45 & Fuji Acros 100, developed with Pyrocat-HD in a modified Paterson Orbital.

I recently scored 100 sheets of 2016-expired Acros. Never shot it in sheets before. Couple of surprises with the film:

1) It is only packaged in a double box, not a triple. Not sure why, as Fuji's E6 sheet films are in the latter.
2) The sheets have a small hole punched in one corner, near the notch code, which I was taken aback to see. On googling this supposedly they're designed to aid hanging of the film, but the hole encroaches into the image area a small way, so a pretty stupid "solution" from Fuji to a non-existent problem. Ah well, not the end of the world.

I’m jealous. I love Acros (and hopefully Acros II when the 120 rolls of Acros run out) but I never got to shoot it in sheet film.

BTW two thumbs up on the Technikardan—such a great camera to use. It spoiled me when compared to most other compact LF cameras.

Yes I love Acros too. Still got a sizeable stash of the original in 120, which is a good job because the price of Acros II is ludicrous.

And yeah the TK S45 is a joy to use. So well engineered.

Fortunately here in the US we can get Acros II from Adorama (who seems to undercut everyone else) for essentially $10 a roll. It a bit cheaper than TMAX ($11/roll) and a bit more expensive than Delta ($9/roll). FP4+ is $2 cheaper, and Kentmere 400 now is $4 cheaper, in the ballpark of Foma films. Kentmere has quickly become my testing film, and Acros/Acros II will be my preferred film for most things. I'm down to about a dozen rolls of original Acros, and have 40 Acros II waiting for me.

Here in the UK Acros II is double the price of Delta 100 (typically £15 vs £7.50).

As I said, I'm glad to be sitting on 100+ rolls of the original; all from the final batch.

Yashicamat. Two rolls Ilford HP5 shot at 800 (or near enough using my Sverdlovsk 4). Ilfotec HC 1:15 at 20c. Extended development to 5 minutes. 30 second agitation every minute with the wiggle stick. Results look good to me.

Nikonos II. Ilford Ortho Plus. Shot at around 100 on the Sv4. Ilfotec HC 1:15 at 20c. Standard development time: 4 minutes. 30 second agitation every minute. Results looks good to me, olde worlde look presumably due to lack of red sensitivity; but seems I have some sort of light leak on the Nikonos. I thought I only had to worry about water ingress.

Yashica J. HP5. Sunny 16. 510 Pyro. Negs look great!

Technikardan 23S, Kodak E100 with some older lenses, that apparently still have accurate enough shutters for reversal film! Including a 5.6/135mm Symmar, 8/65mm Super Angulon, and a 2.8/105 Xenotar--all Linhof marked variants
