Hi Yama. Good to see that you have developed that first roll. There will be
many more I'm sure. Seems like you are a lucky guy to have a photogenic
friend as well. Keep those picture posts coming.

Cheers
Geoff

Took me five months to get all of my gear in order and what not, and I
finally developed my first roll of Tri-x this past week. Tri-X rated at ASA
2000, developed in XTOL 1:1 20C 3x agitation every 45 seconds. Shot with an
M6ttl and Summicron 35/2 v3 (Thanks SonC!)

My favorite shot from the roll:

Also, I seem to notice that Vuescan is so much more forgiving on the
highlights and shadows than Nikon Scan is, without any fidgeting done
beforehand.

Needless to say, I'm so glad to be a film convert. This is so much more fun
:)

Thanks to all of those that supported me and helped me get to this spot! I
know I asked a lot of questions, and I appreciate everyone's time! Remember
when I asked for that Summicron v3 or v4 way back when? ;)
