So the legendary Harvey 777 developer is back in stock and my order came in
yesterday. After trying it with a couple sheets of 4x5 FP4, I grabbed an
ancient roll of 35mm Delta 3200, rated it at ISO1250 and photographed the
dogs at 1/60 and 1.4. The grain is huge of course, but you can see the nice
tones in the dark (the dogs have black fur).

I used my M7 for the first time in years. The battery is dead of course,
but the 1/60 works great. The shutter is buttery smooth, and I actually
miss the tactile feel of having to wind to the next frame. That was
actually one of the better ideas in the R-D1, IMHO.

I think we are beginning to see some of that legendary delicate creamy
highlights. Not sure why I am getting Newton rings all of a sudden, I will
look into that.
