That was a few years ago, more recent Foma films have been much better.

Some Fomapan films are well known for turning developers green. Braver folk than me have re-used them successfully, but I have always used one shot devs for Fomapan since my first experience.

Rough water. Rolleicord Vb, Delta 100, Xtol 1+1

Sounds good to me Wayne. :)

No, assuming you don't have a sheet of paper on the baseboard at this point. If you wanted to be totally accurate, you coud have a previously exposed sheet in place while focussing, but not an unexposed sheet.

You can usually get rough focus visually, then use the scope to fine focus the negative, so no major movements.

The negative is reflected in the mirror and you're focussing on the grain in the negative. This will pop in and out of sharp as you adjust the enlarger, and is the most accurate way of doing it.

If your fingers are small enough and you can cope with estimating distance, the Minox 35GT has a 35mm f2.8 lens and is absolutely pocketable. https://www.35mmc.com/11/01/2019/minox-35-gt-guest-review/

I don't think the Assynt Highland Games is too much of a shoehorn for this challenge ;) Nikon F80 and Tamron 28-75, but I can't lay hands on the negative and it would have been pre-covid, although the scan is dated 05/2021.

@FishyFish the clear winner on this challenge, so over to Nige for the next one.

Congrats to @FishyFish for a clear winner today, and over to you for the next one Nige. :clap:

Poll now added :)

Still a few hours left to recall that memorable holiday or meet-up and post it here :)

Some older cameras also come with adjustments for EV, including my Rolleicord Vb which has a scale of EV 4-18. Many handheld meters can measure in EVs and it's then really easy to juggle apertures with shutter speed for your preferred combination.

You're possibly OK in the deep south Brian, but postage costs can be very considerable for chemicals for other places. I tend to buy from Ilford when they have deals like reduced prices or free delivery, but I can also nip to Ffordes if I run out. Kodak HC110 is very expensive nowadays, but...
