Topic: Weekend 20th-22nd March

Slipping in 10 minutes before the end of the weekend EDT. I tried souping Arista EDU (Fomapan rebrand) in Rodinal 1:100 like Fluminian has done, but my negs came out REALLY light, even though I left it in there for 1.5 hrs. After boosting everything in Lightroom, I *think* it came out a little better than my previous foray using HC110 H for 15min, but I'm not positive. Bottom line: I'm still not sold on Fomapan

edit: Ha! I just noticed the word "light" on the window, to echo my disappointment at how light the negs came out. Well played, serendipity, well played.

Only one way I like my fomapan 400: at ei 250 and processed in hc-110 dilution e....

That's going to be my next attempt Why dilution E as opposed to B or H (my go-to)?

It's what I found on the massive dev chart.
1+47 dilution seems to do a good job with times that are just long enough for even development.

Dilution B (1+31) would probably be way too short while dilution H would be on the long side.

It's the first time I use dilution E for any film and must say it works just fine.

I prefer long dev times because there's more leeway to f*** up Which is why I like dilution H. I'm going to try shooting this next roll of fomapan 400 at 200 then use HC110 dil H and see what comes out.
