120 Bergger Panchro400. One roll. $14. Shot it over two days. Sitting in wash as we speak... Saw it in Kerrisdale Camera in local mall. Surprised to see it so I picked up a roll.Never used the stuff, so why not? Developed it Pyrocat-HD. Guess at the time...

Getting very hard to find this film.
I wonder if it has hit a production hurdle.
I am interested in your reactions to the results

When I pulled it off the reel, I was quite surprised at the high base fog... and the negative strip has a lot of curl. EI 200. Developed in Pyrocat-HD for 9 minutes. Other than that, it looks fine. Still have to print them.

Pentax SMC Takumar 105/2.8 -- My Pentax primes are now 28, 35, 50, 55, 105, and 135. I suppose my kit will be complete when I find the 85mm. For 15 years I had and used just the 55/2 Super Takumar and nothing else.

Just received a Minolta 50mm enlarging lens to replace one I sold stupidly last year. I have way too many enlarging lenses already. I think like 8 or so for 50/65 and another 10 or so for other formats.

I recently picked up some Pentax screw mount lenses for the heck of it when I saw them at a thrift store. Kinda let down by the Spotmatic viewfinder though. With glasses on it feels like a peephole. Might try a Praktica or a Fuji. Lenses are totally mint though.

And a new Gossen meter. I had one years ago, a Sixtomat digital and always wanted to pick up another. Finally did. Nice and small. Goes right in a t-shirt pocket. Best carry around meter out there.

I've found the base fog noticeable as well, but the resulting prints look pretty good. Often a slightly harder paper grade can help-you could also try a bit more restrainer in the developer (ISTR seeing this recommended for Verichrome Pan, which also had a higher base fog than many modern films).

Don't have it in my hot little grubbies yet, but I just bought a very nice 50mm f/4 CF T Hasselblad lens for my 500 C/M.

Please won't you hurry, Mr. Postman?
