First attempt at developing without bleach aka bleach bypass but I don't think it worked. Camera used Canon BF-10 26mm fixed focus Fujifilm 200 200 ISO developed in Bellini Foto C41 11-5-2023
Developing at home really showed me how photography is like an amazing sort of magic, organic and incredible act of nature and man.

Finally got a makeshift darkroom set up here in Sydney (in our apartment's kitchen), so I can process my black and white film. Yay!

So after using it a few times, here are my thoughts:
The picture taken was developed in it also.
I bought it because I love gadgets and I liked the idea of temperature compensation.
The first time I used it, my reaction was "meh". Mostly because I focused on the negatives of it. Temp compensation for the blix? Odd. It wanted me to use it for the rinse cycle? Not just odd, but wrong.
It wasn't until the second and third time, I started to really enjoy not paying attention to the time.
I no longer needed to time my developing and turn a knob every 30 seconds. I a also like the idea of using less chemicals to process the same film. (300 - 350ml for two rolls instead of 800ml or so when doing black and white).
I also used the computer and made a few custom programs for the black and white film I use.
I didn't love it at first, but now I can't imagine not having it.

On December 24, 2024, I picked up my venerable Leica M3 year 1956 (see below for details) for a photowalk in Lyon city, France. I went to Fourvière, enjoying a not too cold (6°C) and clear sunny weather.
My Leica was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film. I equipped the Summicron 2/5cm lens with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for all indoor scenes, and outdoor I mounted a push-on 42mm FOCA (France) Yellow x2.5 filter and a generic cylindrical stainless steel hood that, unfortunately, induced some vignette if not perfectly aligned, that should be corrected during the processing). I should find a 39mm screw-on filter more safe to use with my Summicron 2/5cm,
Expositions were determined for the indicated 400 ISO (28 DIN) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas and erected for the filter absorption if any.
The outside temperature was about 6°C with a bright sunny weather in the afternoon. Typically exposures outdoor were made at 1/250s with apertures ranging from f/8 to 11 and 1/50s or 1/25s at full aperture f/2 or f/2.8 indoor.

After exposure, the film was processed in Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 6 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This Leica M3 circa 1956 (Ref. Leitz ISUMO), double stroke, was sold to me with a Leitz Wetzlar Summicron collapsible normal lens 1:2 f=5cm of the same period equipped with a 39mm screw-on protective filter, a 42mm push-on Leica lens cap and an original Leitz shade hood (Ref. Leitz IROOA).
The camera was serviced in Paris, France, in 2018 by Gérard Métrot at Photo-Suffren, (a Leica boutique) who worked on the maintenance of camera's of famous French photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. The camera was inspected by Odéon-Photo, Paris, another historic Leica place in Paris, in April 2024.
I sourced at the same time in Germany a stunning Leitz Leica leather bag (Ref; Leitz IDCOO) of the same model that appeared on the back cover page go the Leica brochure year 1954. This bag can accommodate the camera and a mounted Leica-Meter type M. The interior in covered with a carmin velvet in perfect condition.
The Leica M3 is one of the most iconic range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's and the 60's. It was produced in Wetzlar, Germany, in different versions at 226178 exemplars, between 1954 (n° 700000) and 1966 (n° 1164865, www.summilux.net/materiel/Leica-M3) . The Leica M3 was the result of the study of a "super-Leica" that was started before WWII and only achieved in the 50'S.
The greater improvement of the M3 compared the classical Leica's was in a magnificent and very complex range-finder combined to the view finder permitting the framing with the two eyes open, integrating the frame in the real and normal vision. The shutter integrates too the normal and the slow speeds in the same barillet. The film advance of this version of Leica M3 is also the typical "double-stroke" advance that was exclusive to the Leica M3 first versions.
The camera was transported to me from Paris to Lyon, France on April 26, 2024 and the bag arrived the day after.
