Makten, very nice B&W tones from your recent shots! Which developer did you use?
Thanks! I used Fomadon R09 ("Rodinal") diluted 1:60 and the film is Tri-X. But actually I don't think the developer has anything to do with the tones here. I could have had the same result (or perhaps even better) with D-76 that I used before. It's all about applying a curve that gives high contrast in the right tonal range, which takes quite a lot of work for every single picture.
I scan in 48 bit color, as a positive. Then I do everything manually from there, which is very different from what the scanner software does when automating things.
What R09 does, is giving higher acutance than D-76. So the images come out much sharper, which is nice. But the grain is also more noticable at times.
How much do you want for it? I want an Xpan 2 too. Every time I've got enough money to buy one, I always blow it on something else. Nice shot by the way. I like the two dudes in the background.
Here's a shot off of a roll of Scotch Chrome 640T I shot this summer. The grain is something else.
More 75/4.5 on Pentax 67II...
