i'm curious to see what my 35/1.8 and my 50/1.4 can do when opened up a bit more, so i bought some fp4 today. i went in thinking plus x but then decided to support the folks that are still behind b&w film photography. (not my point)
now, i'm realizing i have never shot fp4 (at least for as long as i can remember) and so i'm wondering about developers and agitation.
i have on hand rodinal, diafine, ddx and ilfosol s.
diafine has taught me that i over agitate and i'm pretty sure i do so with all developers. i'm working on my control.
i have done a search here and elsewhere and read some about how fp4 is affected by different developers.
this leads to thinking i will use the ddx and see for myself, tho i'm tempted by the ilfosol also. according to ilford, ddx will give the best overall appearance but ilfosol will show the sharpest rendition.
any thoughts from your experience?
it's a toss up - but i did buy 2 rolls...
