Steve, my blogging partner, when can you drop a blog post about film development on my blog page. This is exactly the topic of interest. I know you are busy and no pressure to put on you. Sorry to hear about the Aged to Perfection. For a moment, you really get me to think to buy several developers and open the caps for faster aging. We are all sensitive to the word of "perfection." Well done
on the title.
I joined a class with b&w development and it was my first time pouring Kodak HC-110 to two rolls of t-max 100 bw and it all went well under my teacher's guidance. It was driving my patience thin when I have to watch the clock ticking for the agitation per minute but it was darn fun when I finally got to the last part in washing the film and pull the strip out to hang dry.
I can't wait till next week for the contact sheet development and if I do it fast, it may get to the wet printing portion which my teacher calls it the most fun part in the darkroom. And when I showed my new toy with
Yashica mat-124G to my teacher, it really got his attention as he actually loved having one for nostalgic path with his past. I may trade in one with him in continuing his 6 week class section for the next two rounds as he allows his students freedom in using the darkroom and facility for wet development.
My 1st test roll with Yashica mat-124g with Fuji pro 400H color can be seen in
this Flickr Set where I have the original and those converted to b&w. I paid my local lab for both development and low resolution scanning. And I also discussed it with other Pentaxian with camera and lens porn in Photo.net Pentax Forum in
New 6x6 toy from Hin
Warmest,
