And now comes Fuji Neopan 400. I must say I have high expectations for this
film based on information I have got from Inet. And at first I was
dissapointed. Once I settle time (I developed 3 rolls) I have get nice
results what is about shadow details, scale and base is very very
transparent. Maybe little bit more than one used with TMY.
So my procedure for XTOL 1:1 400ml at 20C is following:
1 x 30sec - non-stop inversion
19 x 30sec - 1x inversion (fast)
There is one think which I am not sure what cause it. Each of those three
films has two parallel scratches on the first 8-15 shots! I have no clue
from where they come. Same camera, same tank, same handling as other films.
I never ever had a scratches on films I developed. And now this. I even
dissasemble the film box and search for some spikes, looked at my new
camera and found nothing! If it is from producer than it is strange as I
bought two films in Germany and one here in Sweden. I really do not know.
