Ricoh GR-1, kodak double-x in HC-110.
 
Wow, what did you do to Plus-X to make it look like that?
Good or bad? This is from my self processing days so I could have been wonky in my agitation to create additional grain. Also, my Nikon Coolscan has always added a degree of “extra grain” to my eye. On the other hand, I’ve been partial to extra grain in shots like this one…

I've walked those very streets. I can still smell the curry ;)

As an aside, within the past month, I just did a side by side comparison of Double-X in various dilutions/times of Pyrocat-HD (all semistand or EMA), with conventional development in HC-110B, D-76 1:1, and D-23 1+3 semistand for 30min. From best to worst (grain and tonal smoothness) they scored like this:

D-76 1:1
D-23 semistand
HC-110B
Pyrocat-HD Semistand/EMA

No matter what I did with Pyrocat, the Double-X negatives turned out to have a gritty look and showed a lot of grain.

I have yet to try Double-X in conventional Pyrocat-HD agitation at 1:1:100.

I'm also doing some testing with Tri-X to see which particular developer/agitation scheme works best there as well.
 
I forgot how difficult film was. Here are a few attempts, the first with a Yashica J (jpg scan of the negative) and the second with an Electro 35 GSN (tiff scan of the negative). Film was Ilford Delta 100, processed locally. I rescanned the negatives (still learning on that) and substantially cropped the hummingbird image.

I will say despite using a handheld meter, shots generally are overexposed, the J scan excepted. I have a long way to go.
