Why not bring some 160 NC for a color film, especially with the high shutter speeds?

Just remember to give it at least a couple of hours to warm up to room temperature before you open the package. This prevents condensation on the film.

For a decent film scanner, you are looking at 4000+ dpi. And when you say splice, do you mean cut? Because splice means to tie two strips together, but it sounds like your strips are fairly long as it is.

What John said above is critical. If you open cold fil, you will get condensation from the air. I usually pull it at least 2 hours before use to let it warm up.

Someone posted this earlier on PSIG, and I laughed just as much the second time I read it. I love the one about the Leica lenses.

Just a note that <a href="http://digitaltruth.com/devchart.html">Digital Truth</a> has the suggested developemnt time of 13.5 minutes for AGFA APX 100 in D76 1:1. Sounds like you might have missed the boat by half. I have found this wesite a good starting point and sanity check, as I am myself just starting in this racket.

I'll but <a href="http://www.nolimitsphotos.com/details.php?gid=&sgid=&pid=29">that</a> for a dollar!

Thanks for these answers. They pretty much back up what I suspected was going on. I definitely do need to get the Cookbook soon.

You could always sell on e*ay.

All, I have only been at this a month or so, and I have a question regarding

push processing with dilution H. I have been using dilution H to give me more

leeway in development time. I have only pushed one roll of HP5+ to ISO 800, and

I developed for 13.5 minutes, 72 degrees, agitation for the first minutes, three

inversions of an Omega tank every minute thereafter. The results were really

grainy, and I am someone who usually likes grain. Here's one of the more

extreme <a

Would processing this film in dilution B result in less grain?<P> Is the

pronounced grain here affected by the light gray background (as opposed to a

darker one)?<P>Does the grain look typical? (This is pretty much full frame in

5X7 format.)<P>I had little light to work with for an interior shot like this,

hence the push. Weak fluorescents overhead and very overcast light through a

window. Your opinions are appreciated... I know it is back-focused a bit.

Disregard last question... I took aq closer look at the image you supplied, it definitely crosses the bounds between shots.

Does it ever go between two negatives, or is it always constrained within the boundaries of one negative?

You could use a water stop.

Since you didn't shoot the images yourself, there is a chance that they were not actually exposed at 200...

Seems to me that I remember reading that the 120 S will actually fire the flash twice... once when the shutter is depressed, and once when it is released. Is this true? If so, could it cause issues with a flash trying to fire too quickly?
