The next one is an amusing example of how digital has made me forget some of my reflexes.

I had just taken a shot of the same subject with a slower lens on the Df without problems.

Then I used the FE2, lens wide open, focussed and took the shot. When I heard how long the shutter stayed open, I realised my mistake. No auto-ISO. Just 125 

ISO went to 1600 on the Df.

I still kind of like the result

 

 

 

I don't know if anyone has experience with Ilford FP4 Plus 125?

I understood this film should have 'fine grain' but I don't think I would classify my results from this roll as such.

It has very fine grain for a traditional film if developed in Microphen, Ilfosol or Perceptol, not so much when developed in D-76, ID-11 or Xtol. If your lab uses Xtol, Delta 100 is a better choice of film.

 

If you want ultra fine grain from Ilford film, PanF is the best way as it will give negatives that are difficult to focus on the grain in the darkroom if developed correctly. (Rate it @ ISO 20 and develop in Perceptol)

Thanks, Peter.

 

I'll ask the question.

I have to contact them anyway. I found a strange fine scratch on a number of the negatives.

Same place but not a straight line. I'd like to know if they had some trouble or if the camera is to blame (doubt it).

I also found a white partial circle on one of the negatives. That's a error in the handling of the development if I'm not mistaken.

Bart, I like the look of the last one, modern art.

Thanks, Dean! Appreciated!
