This seems to be a trustworthy and safe bet, every time. I´ve now landed on a Caffenol-C-H derivative which follows the standard recipe to a T, apart from a reduced level of potassium bromide; 0.4g/l. This roll was exposed under very different conditions. From afternoon sun, cloudy conditions, to night long exposure scenes. All came out very nicely.
TMAX100 in Caffenol-C-H* @20C/68F 16 minutes
In the woods just before sundown (enlarge to see it in detail):

| Kowa Super 66 w/85f2.8 TMX EI 80 |
Night shots:

| Kowa Super 66 w/85f2.8 TMX EI 80 (reciprocity corrected 32s metered, 65s exposure, 1/8th GN48 flash pointed skywards to illuminate weather vane) |

| Kowa Super 66 w/85f2.8 TMX EI 80 (reciprocity corrected 35s metered, 75s exposure) |
Caffenol-C-H took all in its stride. TMAX100 and C-C-H is a bullett proof combination.
I have to agree with you on this one Eirik, as you know I ´ve been using Adox CHS film and even tho it has astounding tonality and tones really well in Caffenol, its unfortunately far from Tmax in terms of consistent quality!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bo. I´ll be trying out Acros 100 next. If the results of Reinhold and friends are anything to go by, it should prove to be good. So watch this space.
