    I have been trying out some new Film Developer Formulae - I had to order a few new chemicals but i already had most in my Chemical Cupboard . I had to go to Basildon Hospital to see Plastic Surgeon about the Skin Cancer on my Scalp so my 'Driver' a Camera Club Mate and I decided to go to Hannifield Reservoir . I took my TWO FTBn Bodies -- one with October 2010 dated FP4 + and one with outdated ( no actual Date) Fuji REALA 100 - I rated the FP4 + at 100 ASA and the Reala at 50 ASA - I developed the FP4 + in home-made FX-55 Formula but used double the amount of 1% PHENIDONE as previous Tests showed UNDER-Development an d I STILL got UNDER- Developed NEGS !! OK for 'Scanning' but not enough 'Meat' on them for darkroom Printing! I used a 200mm f4 SSC Canon FD for the boats and small tripod and still struggled with poor light ! TODAY I went out into BRENTWOOD HIGH STREET and took a few more 'TESTS' I used my 50mm f1.4 SSC Canon FD lens Canon Forums 01.jpg Canon Forums 02.jpg Canon Forums 03.jpg Canon Forums 04.jpg Canon Forums 05.jpg Canon Forums 06.jpg Canon Forums 07.jpg Canon Forums 08.jpg Canon Forums 09.jpg Canon Forums 10.jpg
