I did a quick headshot for an actress friend of mine against a black velvet
backdrop a few years back.
My plan was to shoot a quick roll of Xp2 recently out.
But that roll went quickly and all I had laying around was SOME Agfapan 25.
So I cranked up the strobes 4 more stops and shot some of that stuff too.
I made 8x10 prints, from both rolls quite a few of them.
But had an  impossible time telling the Xp2 from the Agfapan 25 (developed in
Rodinal 1:50)
I had to check the contact sheets to know for sure when looking through the
stack of prints as to which came from what.
it makes one red faced to think of it.
But I still don't like the idea of the stuff. bothers me
