I shot 2 rolls of pan f today with my 90 elmirit, M6 with winder, Balcar
and white lightening strobes. my first shoot in front of a seamless in
two years and my first job in two years; back in business. Will run the
film in Rodinal 1/50 for 11 minutes in the same tank with a bunch of Tri
x which also works out at 11 minutes for me. (70 degrees) I bought some
delta 100 to retest because iso 50 puts a strain on my strobes. I should
have also picked up some 400 because if that stuff works out it will be
an all around film for studio and street.
I just poped away today and made some money with a painless client from
way back. It was fun to be back in the groove. Or is.
