Nice group of "in the wild" shots, and good looking kids.
I've only shot a few rolls of the C-41 B&W films but I did prefer the contrast and finer grain I got out of XP2. Here's one, a favorite shot of my old friend, Woody.

BH and Adorama both used to ship it. I took a break from it about a year ago to get more familiar with D-76 & Tmax. I was rather fond of dilution E. I've got a hard copy of Covington's HC-110 web page that I reference all the time. Programmed my HP-41CX with his time/temp conversion formula, too. Thanks for the reminder about Freestyle.

I tried to order some HC-110 last night and BH is only stocking it for in-store purchases now. Bummed me right out.

Thank you. It is 4x5" sheet film. I bought a Yankee daylight tank from B&H. Takes a ton of chems to fill (56oz per run) but honestly I think the process is more stable with higher volume tanks. For scanning I have an Epson V-700.
The Graflex is both a dream and a nightmare to use. I'm sure it'll become more on the dream side once I've run a few boxes of film through it. Right now, I feel like I need a pre-flight checklist to tick through for every shot.
Depth of field is in a word "WOW". You are constantly fighting for it and focus is unforgiving. I did a post christmas shoot with the extended family and ended up with one keeper out of 10 shots. I ordered a new ground glass focus screen for the back and am hopeful that will help a bit.
But I am hooked. It costs about $2 per B&W and $6 per color frame, but the results are priceless.
Here's one more, from that post-xmas session.

Thanks! On both counts. Not sure why I tagged it TMAX except maybe I had TMax on the brain because I used TMax developer.
