Display Window Crop II
I decided to start 2020 off right by shooting a roll of film. I took a stroll around downtown Fredericksburg taking a few pictures. This was a display window in the Irish store. The sun was hitting the window lighting up the display. I took this picture with a hand held Voightlander Bessa Rangefinder (1936-51) on Fomapan 100 120 film (6x9 negative) Yellow filter, 100 sec exposure. The film was developed in L110 developer that I had opened back in 2015. I use marbles to keep the bottle full and prevent oxidation. Using the massive development chart for HC110 I noticed there were two recommendation for Fomapan 100 exposed at 100 for Dilution F one for 7.75 minutes and one for 12 minutes. 4.25 minutes is a wide variation. I had previously developed a roll for 8 minutes and while it was acceptable I had to use a 3.5 filter when printing the negatives. I decided to up the development time to 8.5 minutes on this roll. These negative scans only required a few slight adjustments too look this way. I cropped out several of the window frames to show the almost grain less images and detail offered by this film developer combination. It also shows how good the Skopar lens on the camera is.
