I would really like that. I have about 10 days left on holiday right now, then work for about 3 or 4 weeks, and more holiday.

so what about this next weekend? I don't think martin will be back by then, but I will be here, and georg too I suppose (?). PLUS we might finally be able to mobilise some of the other hidden stealth berliners.
 
georg,
ich hab mich natürlich vertan, ich habe vorhin die filme, die ich in florenz verballert habe nicht bedacht, ich denke damit wird's dieses jahr doch sowas um die 100 rollen tri-x sein. je nachdem was noch so passiert vielleicht mehr. meine fresse nur nicht ans geld denken. :D
 
Thanks, that is giving me a lot of choices in Berlin - is there an exact station I should get to?
 
No, I should be good. It'll be a fun adventure anyway. I'll try to bring a friend so I won't get lost alone :D
 
Ok, here are my results from yesterday. This is Tri-X@400 in Rodinal.

U27794I1281917850.SEQ.0.jpg



These are from "Project 6400". Tri-X in Rodinal with some other ingredients@6400. I started experimenting with this, because most of my photos taken in clubs and bars came out severly underexposed, even at f1.5/30@1600. This mixture seems to work well for a well defined range of light situations.

Unfourtunately I had to crop the portrait a bit at the bottom, as there was some activity around the sprocket wholes. Maybe due due the slightly fizzy mixture added to the diluted Rodinal. I have to do further testing.

Yep, the contrast is very harsh. In normal street situations the highlights get blown out, so 400 would still be a more reasonable choice.

One of the reasons for all this is also to get some control over the common problems with semi-stand developing Tri-X. Next I will try changing the ratio of ascorbic acid and sodium carbonate I added to the mix, as there is this increased activity around some parts of the sprocket holes. The film was not completely fixed in that areas also and putting it back into the fixer did not help to reduce the overdevelopment there. A bit of fogging did occur too, but not as pronounced as with caffenol. Maybe Borax or increasing the amount of sodium carbonate helps.

Streaks did not occur, maybe due to a slightly increased agitation scheme. It would be good, if the agitation could be reduced even further for getting the contrast under control. The grain is surprisingly ok in my opinion. Some more testing to do.

'...mad scientist out.'

He and I are trying to meet on his way back. I'm trying to swing the money to buy his Rollei TLR.
