1980 FLT

My FLT taken with a Nikon F4s and Ilford Pan F Plus. Not sure the lens I believe I was holding up and old large format lens but I can't quite recall.... The detail is super on this and I realized how dirty my glass is holding down the negs on the scanner. I will probably re-scan this.

 

Developed for 15 minutes in Kodak Dk-20:

 

Prepare:

Kodak DK-20

This developer makes gorgeous negatives from Pan F which I have yet to really see, like this. DK 20 is an old fine grain developer which may not be true with modern emulsions, but the negatives are a thing of beauty. They have a certain chrome sheen.
