After this developer combination, the mid-tones also increase significantly in density when toned with selenium!
For a combined toning with selenium and iron blue toner, the print must be lighter overall.
MT1 Selenium for the shadows 1+6 1:30 minutes, followed by a watering of at least 20 minutes.
MT7 Iron blue toner 5+5+10+5+500 45 seconds, also the already selenated shadows become cyan.
Lead acetate 2.5% 30 seconds shifts the colour towards blue, the selenium toning in the shades becomes visible again.
Nach dieser Entwicklerkombination legen auch die Mitteltöne deutlich an Dichte zu, wenn mit Selen getont wird!
Für eine kombinierte Tonung mit Selen und Eisenblautoner muß der Print insgesamt heller sein.
MT1 Selen für die Schatten 1+6 1:30 Minuten, gefolgt von einer Wasserung von mindestens 20 Minuten.
MT7 Eisenblautoner 5+5+10+5+500 45 Sekunden, auch die schon selenierten Schatten werden blaugrün.
Bleiacetat 2,5% 30 Sekunden verschiebt die Farbe Richtung Blau, die Selentonung in den Schatten wird wieder erkennbar.

I appreciate the possibilities of two-tray development with the Polychrome kit. What I have not tried so far is toning such prints with cobalt/iron toner. What I wanted to achieve here were reddish trunks against bluish snow.

1st developer SE5 Lith A+B+D+water 40+40+10+900ml 6,5 mins,
2nd developer after a short rinse Siena (Glycin) 30 ml + NH4Cl 10 ml + water 700 ml (no carbonate) 1 min.
The relatively soft gelatine of this paper was made more resistant by hardening for the subsequent tonings for safety reasons.
1st toner MT1 Selenium 1+10 only 1 min, just to affect the deep shadows.

3rd toner MT7 Iron Blue, parts 1 - 4 4+2+4+3ml to 500ml water 2 mins, followed by Lead acetate toner 2 mins.
From my first test film with the Seagull 4A TLR.
I used this negative to try out a few new-to-me papers. None of them responded satisfactory so I ended up going with Fomaspeed again because I know what it looks like ;)
I recently ordered some new chemistry I'm excited to try out, I just thought that this negative wasn't so well suited for that. Matter of fact, I think this negative might work really well as a "boring regular" print on contrasty paper. I might have a try at that too.

Tried some Fomaspeed Variant 313 with lith developer yesterday evening. The results really excited me: a nice slight sepia tone, lots of heavy grain and strong blacks. The paper has a nice finish too. It's fairly cheap and looks great in regular developer as well. Over all, very happy with it!

A little Minolta rangefinder that has been in the cupboard awaiting some TLC. It just needed a good clean and some new light seals. Even the old selenium light meter is working and appears accurate much to my surprise. A test roll of film sometime in the near future will back this up hopefully!
An interesting shutter design on these cameras as detailed below.

From Wikipedia:
In 1960 Chiyoda (after 1962, Minolta) launched its Uniomat series of rangefinder cameras with coupled match-needle selenium meter. This camera joined the many other early "automatic exposure" cameras with built-in exposure meters that were released to the market in the 1959/1960 period.
Minolta's approach to automatic exposure permitted only certain shutter/aperture combinations, an early sort of "programmed" exposure. This fixed combination of shutter speeds and aperture values also permitted a very unusual characteristic of the Citizen shutter: there is no separate aperture diaphragm in this camera. The shutter leaves are used for both the shutter as well as for aperture control. At shutter speeds of 1/100 second and slower, the shutter opens fully as normal and the shutter speed varies according to the exposure value selected (which is automatically set by adjusting the match-needle metering). At these lower shutter speeds the full f/2.8 aperture is always used. At shutter speeds above 1/100 second, the shutter leaves open only partially, with an opening size that varies according to exposure values. In this manner the effective shutter speed and the matching aperture are both controlled by the variable shutter leaf opening. The smaller the opening, the faster the effective shutter speed and the higher the aperture value. This clever design also allows for a very unusual top shutter speed of 1/1000 second, a very high shutter speed for a leaf shutter.
