Not recent, just one of those "roll finishers" we all have that deserved a tidy up.

Nice, XTOL 1:3 is super nice for HP5+. You won't believe how nice it is.

Thanks for the looks and comments all. I'll get some xtol jc, been stuck in a D76 rut for years now, time to try something else. The grain on other ones from this roll wasn't as pronounced Terry, then the light was different, even though exposures were consistent. I wanted to bring out the shadows on the wall and that's when the grain appeared. I always wonder when playing with those sliders what results would I get using darkroom printing tricks. Unfortunately, if I remember, results did include a soggy expensive waste bucket.

The only thing I don't like is it's 5L. I store mine in dark plastic containers and distilled water throughout the process. I have well water so I wanted to get the best result from it. I need to order some more, I'm out of it. Believe it or not Ilford Ilfosol 1:14 works great for HP5+ as well and is readily available. It's the only film I like with Ilfosol but it doesn't keep well, so I get the smaller bottle. I didn't like HP5+ until I developed in Xtol.

+1 for X-Tol. It will help with any base fog from pushing and reduce some of the grain.

It's called "the Learning Bin," my good man! Have we taught you nothing?!?

In the early 70's the Hunt brothers cornered the silver market causing prices to increase. Film and paper almost doubled so us hobby guys became more careful and not as picky.

Picked up the last camera for my collection for a while. Olympus Pen EE-3. I was excited to see what it could do, so I shot all 72 with a couple of hours. I scanned using my phone as a light-box and a camera. I would like to thank the generous people on this forum for giving great insight and advice.

Took these with an FM2 and scanned them with a HP scan-jet 4010 that I picked up the other day for 5bucks. Not too bad, I'll get there one day.

A few from my Olympus Pen EE -3.

Nice @acparsons. I have not ventured out in the city's for a while. But.... I've got about 25 rolls to develop, I think I am gonna send the 6 color one's out. I just throw them in a box and I was shocked how many were in there. A lot of them are probably short rolls. Have no idea what's on the majority of them, good thing I keep a journal.

My most recent roll was about 1989
