Nice! So what do you think of pushing K400?
I like the increase in contrast when pushing this film. There is increased grain . . . sometimes it looks cool, other times, it can be too much for my taste. I really need to go back and compare this film at box speed with differrent developers.

When i pushed it to 1600 w df96 monobath, the increase in grain was slight. K400 is such a flexible film.

I'll have to give that developer a try and compare! Thanks.
FYI when you open a bottle of DF96, you need to commit to it as it lasts three months tops. And you get to dev 15-16 rolls in that time. Also, if you use it get the ready to go in a bottle version, not the crystal powder mix your own. I have found the powdered version to dissolve very poorly, and the dust gets into the air.
