A Blast from the Past

Mamiya 645 ProTL w/ M-S 45 mm/f2.8 + Hoya R72 IR filter.

 

Rollei IR400 in Paterson FX-39.

 

Lith printed on Fomatone MG 132 and developed in Moersch Lith Chemicals. No toning, no Omega, no "nothing else".

 

This is a contribution to the debate concerning what papers are lithable in this modern time (or not).

There was no debate back then, and back then in this case is 2010. All Fomatones were perfectly lithable, and lith Omega wasn't available (or certainly not needed).

 

So if I ask you: Was it better in the "old days"?

You've probably already guessed my answer...

 

15 years of lith decay.

 

Kummelön Nature Reserve, Värmland, Sweden.
