This year
I decided to push the boundaries of my black and white film
photography with a
bit of dangerous living; well, flamboyant then!!. By using three
makes of film I have not tried before: Agfa's relaunched APX 100
35mm, Adox CHS 100 35mm and 120, Fuji neopane 400 35mm. All of whom
are going to be finessed with PMK Pyro staining developer in to
reveling their latent images.
The first of
these to receive Pyro's tender kiss is Agfa's APX. I have had a quick
look at Digital
truth massive dev chart ( thanks guys) and have discovered that
the data they hold could be out dated as it is for the original film
emulsion. A quick film test (quick! just joking) as described in
another post, to check the time and if needed adjust it. I'll be using
the suggested dilution formula of 1+2+100 and the 13 minutes as the
normal process time for comparison.
It is a fine
bright warm day just right to choose a subject and take pictures for
the test. Wow! that's the fastest 22 frames I've taken in a long
time! So as not to waste the rest of the film I took a walk round the
local area to use up the other frames. Film is becoming expensive.
Now all I have to do is find the time to process the film.
