Good news! I’ll have a look at Aperture in London! I also found a dealer in Belgium who sells that lens (new old) for 459 euros. Is it a good price? I’m not sure Cameraquest ships to Europe. It says on their website : only to the US, Mexico, South America...

Oh :/ In that case it would be an option but I'm afraid of the border taxation. Last time I ordered a Zeiss Sonnar from Japan I ended up paying 260 euros more...

Thanks Jochen, It seems your right about the relation to Cosina. Here in Belgium, some shops formally have the lens but it is marked “out of stock”...

I'm looking for this lens but it seems unavailable in Europe...

I’ll try developing with a standard method but what does it mean? 60 sec agitation plus agitation every minute, where agitation is synonym of inversion? Here is an example: I got a TMax 400 pushed 2 stops that I want to develop in Rodinal. How can I do 1+25 or 1+50?

Thanks for your advice. The main reason I got Rodinal in the first place was because it is supposed to be quite versatile. Also it has a very good shelf life and I can use it with a syringe. What am I going to do with a whole bottle of D 76 dilution if I develop 1-2 films per month? Is HC 110 any better? If I can use it the same way I use Rodinal, fair enough. Otherwise it is not going to be practical as I am not running a lab but doing some home development. I get your point about the inconsistencies in development but here are pictures from other rolls developed using the same technique. 1- Kentmere 400 @1600 2- Rollei Retro 80s I find the grain to be good on these, especially the 1st roll which tend to be rather grainy. The stand development gives a nice glow in the first picture. In the second one, contrasts are more controlled than typical Retro 80s. What do you think? In the future I would increase the amount of inversion from 2 to 5 to avoid what happened with the Pan F roll: 1+100, inversions first minute + 5 inversions every 30 minutes; 0: 60 minutes, +1: 90 minutes, +2: 120 minutes as general guidelines.

Thank you guy It worked!! I have fixed the negative with proper shaking! Concerning stand development, I read that it works well with Pan f 50. Next time I’d like to try normal development 1+50. At first I used stand development for pushed films. Would you say 1+50 with gentle inversions 30 min does more or less the same than 1+100 gentle inversions every 30 min, 120 min? I want to try 1+50 with gentle inversions on Tmax 400@1600 to see how it goes. Any experience pushing Tmax?

Thank you for your answer. Following the instruction on the Adox Fixer bottle, I used 420ml volume of a 1+7 solution of fixer and did gentle inversion in the first minute. Then more inversions around 6 min and at the end at 8 min. I stand developed to control grain and get more informations in the middle tones. This method has done well for some time but the last two rolls show these marks... Here is a picture from one of these rolls...

Hello there, I get grayish trips on my negatives. Any idea what can cause that? Here is an example of PANF 50 semi stand in Rodinal 1+100
