Fluminian: I actually have a shot from this week that is the mirror image of that one, but I'm not sure if that will be the one I post in this thread. Meanwhile, you can see it here (http://www.indofunkstudios.com/2016/06/28/pushing-and-cross-processing-e6-film/) ;)
Abandoned mine in County Durham. This was Portra 400 accidentally developed in Firstcall B&W developer - because I had two films on the table and loaded the Portra instead of the Acros.
You can develop any color film in b&w dev.

This lens seems to have some dramatic fall-off on the right and left edges.

James, your Isolette III has the Apotar or the Solinar? Mine has the Apotar and results are very correct.

that's true. Some time ago I shot some Kodak Vision2 250D at ISO 50 and developed it with D-23. Even economically it does not make too much sense since colour film is so expensive, results are nice and the experiment could be a bit amusing.

Cool! I wonder if I can stand develop some old Kodak Ultra 400 in Rodinal, would that work? According to Satish Rodinal will develop anything. ;D
Surprised you can't get anything you like from Kodak Ultramax (that's the same as Gold, but I thought they didn't use that name outside the US). Maybe because it's old. I have come to love in-date Gold 400, and I generally push it 2 stops to 1600. Actually, I recall hating lab-developed Gold 400 before I used to home develop, so maybe that's it? You gotta home-process it to get the best out of it?

In the UK Poundland used to see Kodak Ultramax for, you guessed £1, and I bought a lot and hated it - very saturated. I ended up selling it on to a buyer who appeared to be a London tourist-goods supplier. Poundland now well Agfa Vista 200 (rebadged FujiColor 200) which is miles better.

Aha! Now I know how this film ended up in my fridge. Your tourist-goods supplier sold it on to a German tourist who thought this was very cheap. But seeing how bad this film is he swapped it for a used Polaroid camera at a small camera shop in an obscure German town. The shop owner now realizing how awful this film is he ends up desperately trying to give it away to his customers. And in walks a friend of a friend of mine who accepts some rolls just to be polite although he really is a large format guy. Arriving back home he proceeds to give theses rolls to my friend who accepts them just to be polite although he is a medium format guy. So when I walk in the door he pushes them on to me, and I remember still his last advice as I left: Put them on top of the fridge!
(The last three handovers in this story are actually true).

I live in NYC so I know it's not NYC, but I get what you're saying, it feels kind of "generic big city". I might say Chicago or something.
