That's pretty much why I bought it. I liked the look of it way back when I
had a darkroom. I think it doesn't scan as well as it prints, though, and
that's why I'm having some problems finding the right developer.

I like HC-110 for the Agfa films and have also had good results with ID-11.
Rodinal is great with the 100 ISO but I have not used it much for the 400 in
35 or 120 formats. Nice old fashioned film.

Cheers
