Thanks! I'm certainly acquiring it. What film + soup combo do you prefer?

this is sort of fake. I had to crop this and mess with the exposure in Lightroom to make it half way decent. The more I dig through this site the more I realize I have no clue what I'm doing.. having fun learning though..

Whoa. It took me a while to even understand what I was looking at, and that's awesome. Excellent grit, texture, composition (I guess, in this case, crop decisions made a difference), etc. Keep it up!

thanks guys..
hey Steve, I was searching through other Mult Exposure threads and I think you had said at one point there is a Mult Exp feature on some Ricoh bodies?

Aligning the frames on the ME super and Super Prgrm hasn't worked very well. I might just buy a spare body to mess around with. (that's a sentence I never thought I'd type

)

Well I normally develop tri-x in D-76 and I use Rodinal for slower films like APX100 and Acros. That's because Rodinal is associated with large grain/high sharpness and it doesn't always suit higher speed films but........... that's the traditional thinking and sometimes larger grain looks great as you demonstrated with your shot.

The stuff you just posted looks great too

Ricoh XR-2, XR-2s and XR7 all support multi-exposure.

P67II with TMY400

Lucked into some expired Delta-400 in an old bulk loader last month, with unopened 100' rolls of Pan-F and Tmax-100 on the side. No idea how it was stored. Expiry dates are 1989 and 1990. Pretty old stuff but I think the grain has a certain charm. Wondering what tips are out there for working with old b/w film in HC-110 (currently using dilution H). Cheers...

Spotmatic with 28mm f3.5 and 85mm f1.9, overcast skies.
