Ducks Rollei Retro/Aviphot
I needed a quick test roll for the newly acquired Nikon F5 to test the transport and metering and grabbed an old roll of Rollei Retro 400S. I never took to the film although as usual many praise it. What I forgot was it was not iso400 in my testing. Various sources have it as Agfa Aviphot Pan400S or more likely the 200 version but perhaps it has aged in storage and slowed. Whatever it didn't do well in the Pyrocat HD but then again that is due to retire, the small amount, never a good thing, left in the 1L A bottle, so the combination produced "interesting" results, the fixer is end of life care as well so this weekend is sorted mixing new chemicals.
