Thanks Bob. The Neopan SS is a Fuji bw, obviously, but it was replaced in
their range by Acros. I didn't realise until I came to process it (and
needed some developer times) that it was not hugely common over your way.
I think it's a pretty old school type bw film, 100ISO. I ended up in ID11
1:1.
I just acquired a few rolls when I ordered some other film and the dealer
sent it in error as part of my order. They then sent me the Acros I ordered
and left me the (short dated)SS to play with.
I made a pretty pedestrian job of processing the film, with that particular
frame being damaged when the film jammed in the reel and had to be rewound
then loaded in another. Somehow got half of a dust bunny on it as well, and
maybe considerable particles resulting from mixing a new batch of ID11 in a
hurry, since I found no data for what I was currently using. Amazing how any
problem always falls on the best frame.

Btw, I happened upon your portrait in Gene Duprey's gallery. I don't know
why, but I had a mental image of a world wise guy of my vintage (1955) not
the cool dude pictured ;-)

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy -

All of these family snaps establish an instant connection; very  
admirable.

Wha's Neopan SS??
