I just bought a couple of rolls of Bergger, looking forward to trying them out even more after seeing this!

^ I don't see a lot of grain here. The last shot @ 1600 is very nice.

Indeed, but this is a 120 spool, 6x6 or 6x7. However, in the dark background I see a lot of grain!

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to scan shadows as black or very dark. I always get this digital noise from the scans.

I think that the histogram of your negative is not set to the scanner. Your highlights are too white and the shadows are too gray. I do not know if your scanner offers this possibility. When it does, you have to set your darkest part (search for it with the densitometer) to 1 (just 1 step below 2) and your lightest part lower than 255. These are the numbers used on Epson scanners. Then your scanner is "set" for the histogram of your negative and you will get a scan on wich the darkest part is absolutely black.

I have tried that a few times and then given up. I will give it another go. Thank you very much, Erik.

I bought several rolls in 35mm format and look forward to using them.
Erik's Perceptol results are great; I'd really like to see some using HCC110 etc.
BTW Erik what hardware/software did you use for scanning these photos?

I think it is also depends from film exposure. If negative under/over exposed the scanner give high contrast range. You negative Erik always perfectly exposed and developed correctly
. Then I try scanning my crappy negatives it always something there .

I only used my trusted Epson V600, its software and my very old Photoshop Elements 2.

No two negatives are alike and each should be treated as unique. There's no specific formula that applies to all negatives.

A bit OT, but thanks for this image Hogarth. Peter Norman is my uncle, and I've never seen this statue from this angle. http://https://theconversation.com/i-will-stand-with-you-finally-an-apology-to-peter-norman-10107
That GF670W is on my wish list - I love my Bessa III.

The image that this statue is made from is one of my favorite images, it is so powerful. I'm aware of what it cost them, all of them, including your uncle.
As for the camera, I have both iterations of it, the folder and the wide, and I love them both. The wide was purchased 3 years after and slowly took over as my main shooter. Just an awesome camera.

Indeed, Hogarth. Brave men of principle.
Looking forward to more images from this interesting film from the talented photographers that have posted.

My lab uses Clayton F76, which is pretty much D76 in a different bottle, as far as I know. However, I tend to like denser photos, so the result after a bit of Lightroom has darker shadows and more contrast than what Erik is producing.
