Hi Dave, I keep things pretty simple and use primarily Iford ID-11, the veddy British D-76. That's the basic soup for almost all the B&W, except sometimes I use Rodinal (such as with Agfa APX-25, of which I still have plenty) and, on rare times, I'll use Acufine with TX.
I've tried some T-grain films a few times over the past years, and have concluded that I prefer the more traditional emulsions. Really dislike the Kodak films, although Ilford's 100 Delta is acceptable, but just. I'm now beginning to explore the Efke range of films (http://www.efkefilm.com/). I love the slower, older style emulsions. Thanks on the 6th Street. Just got back from there a while ago. Been helping a couple of students in the current class with their darkroom work, and next week the directors and I will work up the schedule and details for the new class starting on Sept 9th. I should have my own class and students then <VBG> Shel > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 8/26/2004 10:01:58 AM > Subject: Re: PAW - Little Girl at Santa Barbara Zoo > > Again,this one grabs my attention right away Shel.
