the world in black white

Digital Truth has an excellent table on APUG pertaining to tests of various infrared films.

I am so sorry to hear that. His generosity will be (has been) sadly missed. So has yours,

Lex.

What has become of Jay? He used to be so helpful with his postings. I hope that it is simply a matter of

being extremely busy rather than any number of other possibilities.

All the hogwash aside, I still agree with John Kelly. Anything else is regressing in terms of

technology. I am and always will be a traditional black & white photographer, but regardless

of how a person defines "travel photography", digital is taking over every format. Seems

inappropriate to me to regress, especially with aspirations of becoming a professional

photographer. Just my opinion. Hadn't intended to tread on sensitivities.

I fully agree with John Kelly! I have read that nearly all professional photographers have

gone digital, as I would if I were still working.

Russ: My question was specifically about infrared film, not "just any black and white film".

As I said the archives have many responses about that question. I have used many other

black & white films already, thank you very much.

Take the lift off and it no longer says CPA2/CPP2. The lift is for both applications, as Paul

Emerson said. The processor is a CPP2.

Robert Vonk: Those are lovely images on your link. Did I mention that you are a real

sweetheart?

Just wanted to share my excitement after using the subject combination. Rated the film @25 ISO and

metered through an 89B filter. Processed the film at 1:100, 70F degrees, for 12 minutes. Fixed with

TF-4. Three rolls processed in this manner have produced absolutely beautiful negatives. I will post

several scans tomorrow. Thanks once again, Jay De Fehr, for your innovation! (Is Jay still with us?)

Bill: While I have used all of the films mentioned above with excellent results, and for

about five years in a Pentax 67, and much longer in 4x5, and my favorite of all, a Rollei

6008i, I have currently been using Fuji Acros 100 and 510-Pyro with consistently

exceptional results. Xtol and Wimberly WD2D+ were the developers of choice before the

discovery of 510-Pyro, thanks to Jay De Fehr, the innovator. As I stated before, if you live

close to Cortez, I would enjoy sharing experiences. Cheers!

Bill: I live in Cortez. Are you nearby? Maybe we can get together and discuss the situation.

Send me an email if you are interested.

My vote for processing this film goes to 510-Pyro. For that matter, FP-4+ and 510-Pyro is

a hard combination to beat, but I have become extremely partial to Fuji Acros 100. Thank

you, Jay!<div></div>
