I have add
new article about
my favorite film/developer combination. It is not finished yet but it
already contains some useful information. I decide to put my latest
findings and proved procedures into one file. This way I do not have to
answer same question all the time and I have also one place where to go, if
I need to remind myself of something.
As I was writing it, I went through my images for lower sensitivity films
and I couldn't resist and think about Fuji Across again. I love Kodak 125PX
when developed in Aculux 2, it is just very expensive to get here. I would
love to make Aculux my 100ASA film of choice, but somehow I cant' get that
right image out of it.
You know, I am using these two cameras. Olympus OM-2n less and less and
lately mostly Nikon F80. I noticed, already long time ago, that OM-2n is
overexposing sometimes more than one stop when comparing with matrix
metering of Nikon F80. So I looked how did I develop Kodak 125PX in Aculux
when shot in OM-2n and how when F80 was used. Of course I develop both the
same way, but I realize that most of images I really like was done by
OM-2n. I said hey! maybe I am actually overexposing this film and
developing shorten that I should. And yes I am getting feeling, that this
is really the case. So maybe if I try to do the same trick with Fuji
Across, maybe, I'll get better images and not burned highlights.
