[Leica] Nathan's PAD 24/4/2021: testing a new film

[Aram Langhans]

Very nice.  Are you developing it like Lluis?  It has been a few years 
since i shot a roll through my R8.  I almost took it on this trip, but 
we have so little room in our van I did not.  For many years of shooting 
film (40 or so) I have been a fan of Rodinal. Some grain, but I heard it 
described as "honest grain" by someone and that fit as much as 
anything.  Besides, the last 13 years shooting film rarely, I like the 
longevity of Rodinal.  My bottle was still good the last time I used 
it.  Just take a few mL out to mix what I need and tuck it away for next 
time.  Fixer is a different story.
