Honestly, I didn't have much hope for this film, with limited information online and not seeing any examples, I was expecting a grain fest, don't ask me why it's what my gut said. However, I was instead treated with a rich film with amazing tonality decent grain sharpness. An excellent first showing.

I've never had any issue with RPX 100 in any developer, but to be honest I think the stock sings in D-76, the contrast is rich, the tones are perfect, and the grain is fine. Not bad for a baseline.

When it comes to fine grain films, there's really nothing you can do to bring the grain up, and while D-76 may not give the same razor sharp as one would think, it's still a fine developer for Ortho 25.

While you can only see the Orthochromatic nature of the film in some images, over all I didn't really like Ortho 25 with Rodinal, sure you get fine grain and razor sharp, but there's no drama to the film.

Okay, so here's where I met with a surprise. I did not expect these images to turn out this good! Not only do we have fine grain, but sharpness, not to mention a rich contrast and tonal range. These look more like Reversal rather than Negative.

The spiritual successor of the iconic Agfa APX 25, fine grain, sharp as a well-honed knife and gives you a classic look all wrapped up in a modern film. Not to mention it'll knock your socks off no matter how you shoot or develop it!

In the case of RPX 400 and Kodak D-76, you end up with a solid baseline of how the film should look, and while there's nothing bad about the combo, nothing is surprising or exciting about them either, they look rather normal, and that can be a good thing.

By far not my favourite combo, but there could be a few factors in on this one, there wasn't too much open sunlight and the grain is terrible even with it being IR film and being shot at ASA-12.

Come on UK, get your act together! While I'm very happy to have emulsion on the way to use both of these vintage beauties (9x12cm direct positive paper for the Bergheil, and Rerapan 127 ISO100 b/w for the VP Twin), I'm less impressed that I had to order it from Macodirect in Germany!

When Rollei makes a compact 35mm camera they do it right, proven in the Rollei 35 lineup. Now, mine is a later Singapore model, but it still shines. However, that doesn't mean the camera is without its faults, it's incredibly frustrating to load, rewind, and the scale focus doesn't help. But when it does work, it's magic.

Nikon rocks down to electric avenue with their first dive into a semi-automatic electronic SLR with the Nikkormat EL. First released in 1972 as a direct response to the rise of semi-automatic SLRs being released elsewhere. The camera would eventually evolve into the Nikon FE later in the decade. A solid well built and familiar SLR that begs to be used.
