New to the forum but not new to forums. Long time Leica M user, currently only using Tri-X developed in Rodinal. I do have a Sony A7II but it's been on the copy stand for the last few years.
Thought I would start out with one of my first Flickr post.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Now to the real reason I decided to join. Last year I decided to move away from the T grain films and move back to the cubic grain films that I hadn't used in years. Tri-X was the choice but insteas of a developer that works well with Tri-X, I chose Rodinal and the challenges that come with it. Currently, I'm exposing the film at ISO 200, developing in Rodinal 1:50 at 20C for between nine and ten minutes. Agitation is gentle but continuous for the first minute with three inversions every minute thereafter. Foma indicator stop for thirty seconds, Ilford Rapid fix for seven minutes followed by a modified Ilford water saving wash. The film is scanned using a Sony A7II with a FE90 2.8 Macro. The transport is a Negative Supply Pro Carrier 135, lighting is a Negative Supply 5X7 Lightsource Pro 95 CRI. The conversion is done with RAW Power by Gentlemen Coders that I use as a plug in with Apple Photos. Here's a sample, any suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
