That's one of my favorites. I didn't post it initially because she's looking into the camera. That's truly a luck shot. She's on a swing, and was in full motion when I shot this. Out of 4 or 5 that I tried on the swing, this was the only one with her eyes in sharp focus. >I think you have figured out the right exposure, development, and >agitation for Acros. Thanks. I think I'm getting better. I still feel much more comfortable with Neopan 400. But starting to get the hang of Acros. This was at 70 F, Xtol 1:3, 12.5 minutes. One minute constant agitation, followed by 10 secs of agitation on the minute marks thereafter. (Agitate from 12.5 to 11.5. Then at 10, 9, etc.) Exposing at 100. Meter off the face, and then add one stop. One thing I've noticed with Acros is that I get little black spots on my negatives. Doesn't happen with either Neopan 400 or Neopan 1600. I ran 3 rolls of Acros and 1 of Neopan 1600 this time. Tiny black spots on Acros. Nothing on Neopan 1600. And they were in the same tank. So I think it's definitely something about Acros. -- Eric http://canid.com/
