Old and New

Developed this myself, in my home darkroom (actually my downstairs bathroom) using 1:100 Rodinal, cold water, and 50 minutes of standing development time. Initial agitation to settle the bubbles, and that's all. This is a macro photo of the negative with a white piece of paper behind it and a flash behind the paper. Negative is curled a bit, and the macro lens' aperture is making the faux-tilt-shift here. I'll scan the negatives when they're dry and a little flatter.

 

At first it looks like the negatives are overdeveloped. They look quite dark. But there's still quite a bit of detail hiding in there. I'm pretty impressed actually. Other than waiting for 50 minutes for the developing, this was relatively painless.

 

I also figure that the Sunflex viewfinder lens is now at a much better calibration than before.
