Tried something a bit crazy. Was reading old posts about stand development, and it seemed that no matter what the film, you would get acceptable results. The idea of compensating development should prevent over development, flatter contrast, and a broader range of tones. I had three rolls of 120 ready to soup - all different. So I decided to soup all three at the same time in the same tank. Pentax 645 with the UXF-400 & 75mm f2.8, Mamiya C3 with 5222-XX & the 80mm f2.8, and the Mamiya C33 with Kentmere 200 (my first roll) and the 65mm f3.5. The films did not react the same to this process. UXF-400 looked good and a slight graying of the base plus more pronounced grain, Eastman 5222-XX should not be stand processed in Rodinal period - (unless you are going for a retro grainy effect). medium graying of the base, very pronounced grain, and density too high in the dark bits. Kentmere 200 had an almost perfectly clear base, and contrast just a bit was too high. YMMV
This is Oscar, a feral born in my back yard. He moved inside a few years ago, and has a cat's dream life by "the big scream TV" - a slider with bird feeders attached. Shooting a black cat against a bright background isn't fun, and now that I have a TLR he is scared of the camera. Whereas he use to pose for the camera. I think he thinks the lenses are eyes?
