  1. Hello all, I am new to the forum and a newbie in processing my own film. After lots of research in several sites I still cannot come up with an answer to my needs. I will start from the beginning, I am willing to have an approach like Moriyama to my film photography. I don't care about the grain, I don't care about the midtones, I do care about my whites and my blacks, I want contrast. I will be using a Nikon L35AF, Tri-X and Foma 400 films and a yellow filter. I narrowed my search to the following, and please correct me if I am wrong: - Underexpose and Overdevelop: use either film as 1600 in camera and develop longer. The Nikon only goes up to I.E. 1000 but as I've read they suggest 1000 if you want to go to 1600. Here I have my first concern. - Use Rodinal: 1:25 will give me more contrast but I cannot find the 1:25 dilution in the DigitalTruth DevChart for 1600. Would it be a problem that my camera goes up to 1000? Which should be the temp/times to be used for 1600 in 1:25? - Using the filter: I've read that using a yellow filter reduces one stop. So using I.E. 1000/1600 would be like shooting in 800? Should the dev times be adjusted to that? Seems I have a lot on my plate, one thing sure: I want that gritty contrasty b&w tone. Any recommendations are more than welcome! Thank you all!!!
