    Trying one of my Black Canon AE-1's with the 1993 dated Ilford HP5+ bulk film i was given -- the frame counter said '16' but when I cut the film for processing in stock FX-15 ( Acutol-S) formula I had taken only 7 frames. Also, the AE-1 had the ' Canon Squeak' so I lubricated it with sewing machine oil in a syringe needle. I want to see if 'Stock Strength' gives finer grain on the well-outdated HP5+. I saw the daylight coming through the window so I set up the Glass Fish and used a TOKINA AT-X FD fit 28-85mm f3.5-4.5 lens at 'Close Focus'
