I shot a couple of rolls on Friday at the landscaper's lot near my job. Perfectly even overcast light, M2, 35 summicron 8 element. Souped in 1+50 rodinal for 11 ? mins. I shaved some time off the 13 mins. recommended at the Massive Development Chart after comparing Kodak's recommendations for this film and for the old version as souped in D-76 & Xtol. This image got no tweaking of curves/levels/contrast/dodge/burn either in the scan or after - not that it didn't need it, but to show the raw range: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album394/blackpots The rest of 'em here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album394/pear_stack1 http://gallery.leica-users.org/album394/kindling_to_be http://gallery.leica-users.org/album394/evergreens1 http://gallery.leica-users.org/album394/poodle_trees2 Many thanks to everyone who helped with my mac gamma problem, especially Sonny, Don, and also Brian, who told me just what to do. If they're still too dark, well, it was an 'artistic decision', so bite me. All comments/criticism gratefully accepted. Cheers Arche
