I do wish more people would try out this film, I really like it even though it totally burns me like this from time to time. I've shot a fair bit of it at this point; I really like it, but I've always found it to have a lot of contrast.
Digitalis, I agitated 4 times (for a total of 1 seconds) once a minute. Next time I shoot with it, I'll try to be gentler with my agitations. I really think in this case it was already a bit of a high contrast scene, with somewhat high contrast film, with a red filter, and I just got the natural outcome of it all.
