When i got back into film I would walk around and try to guess settings for a given scene then pull out a meter, or a meter app on my iPhone, and see how off I was. When I would nail the guess I would hear little Price-is-Right bells go off in my head. Very satisfying but also probably strange to my wife walking with me. "what are you staring at and why do you have an odd smile on your face".
Exactly what I did! Just wandered around inside and outside guessing exposures then comparing to a light meter.
Within 30 minutes I was good!

Well, this is not a film shot but of my new to me film machine. I can't believe how nice a copy this is . . . call it a 9.5/10. It's loaded with its first role. Time go go out.
Just got back some scans from the Minolta Autocord and Ektar 100. The Autocord is starting to show its stuff. These images had no sharpening done and I'm impressed how sharp the images are.

Whoever is scanning your film is doing a bang up job.

I will let them know, thanks! It's a little photoshop nearby. They still process and scan although the scans are not very high megapixels. A friend works there so I'm sure he looks after me.
When I returned to developing B&W at home, I used HC-110.Got great results with HC-110 and TMax but wanted to try something different when it was gone. For the last year it's been Tri-X in Rodinal. A love/hate relationship but I certainly learned a lot. Had a short experiment with Ilfotec HC. Tried it, just didn't like it. I"ve been wanting to try Xtol but not five liters of it. Adox has their version, XT-3, in one liter packages. None of the U.S. distributors has any in stock. I stumbled across a D76 clone made by The Film Photography Project. I hadn't used D76 since the Ford administration and it was available in one liter packages. Just to really test things, I did a 1+3 dilution for twenty minutes. The negatives are great! Easy to scan, so here are a few:
Lincoln City, Oregon
M4-2, Voigtlander 35 1.4 Nokton Classic SC V2, ND4 filter, Tri-X @ ISO 200, FPP-76 1+3;
