real actual dragon (θΔ). follow for weird photography stuff and the occasional rawr


though honestly i think without the water spots all over everything (which, let me tell you, happens even with far more care in development here. awful water quality) it would be pretty much fine

film was fomapan 200, subject was a sequence of test shots on the long-suffering leica iiic that did not require photographic excellence.

00:00 - 02:30 HC-110 B, room temperature, continuous agitation (i maybe could have done HC-110 A for more like 1:30 but i didn't want to bother getting that much out of the bottle)
02:30 - 04:10 water rinse
04:10 - 09:00 fixer (fixed by inspection. my fixer is getting very tired)
09:00 - 13:00 water rinse
13:00 - 15:00 photo-flo, cleaning photo-flo off the dev tank, wiping the film down with fingers
15:00 - 17:00 hair dryer
17:00 - 27:00 plustek opticfilm 7200 (fastest scanner i have short of the DSLR rig, but that requires a lot of setup)

anyways the result of this is that i discovered that the issue with the leica i've been chasing for several days now was in fact actually the result of me holding it wrong. which i mean it sucks a lot for me because i spent several hours (and a full roll of fomapan 200 worth of test strips) debugging it but also the camera should be pretty much fixed now short of re-covering it
