Film was exposed as EI80.
Pre-soaked at 20C

Developed in Kodak HC-110;
-Dilution E ( 1+47 )
-Developed for 10 minutes (Massive Dev Chart says 5 minutes for this dilution, but 10 seems to work very well for me)
-Temperature: 20C / 68F
-Inversions for initial 30 seconds, then 1 inversion every 30 seconds.

Stopbath: Ilfo-Stop
Fixer: Ilford Rapid-Fixer for 5 minutes

Scanned with an Epson V700 at 3200dpi, Unsharp Mask, slight exposure and J-curve contrast tweak in Photoshop.

Impressive performer this 28mm Hektor. Great shots, Rick!

A little vignetting and sharpness drop-off in the corners. Not totally unpleasant. The MTF charts tell me this is normal for this lens. I believe Leitz had to make a few concessions to keep this lens affordable at the time. I cleaned the haze out of it a while ago.

Those came out very nice, I used Rollei Supergrain and the highs kinda blew out.
I will have to try it again with HC110
Thanks

Very nice shot, Rick! Is it a 35mm camera?
