[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The May issue (4/2000) of Leica Fotografie International has an article by Erwin Puts dealing with b&w films (except high speed) and developers. He likes Delta 100 in Rodinal and says that if you think that's too much grain, then go for Xtol or FX-39. He also likes Tech Pan in Rodinal. The article is well worth reading if you are into b&w. Some other articles/pictures are really low quality, like the one on 35 mm lenses. Here the author tells us he has used a monopod to shoot pictures in blazing sunlight in Monument Valley. Probably at 1/250th. At least he admits ... it would have been better if I had taken this picture from lower down. That, however was pretty apparent. I would be interested to hear from somebody who has experience with FX-39. In another forum I have posted some test results from Tech Pan in Xtol 1+3 and Rodinal 1+150 and Maco Low Contrast. If you are interested, I can double post it here too. Regards - -- Christer Almqvist D-20255 Hamburg, Germany and/or F-50590 Regnéville-sur-Mer, France
