No need to thank me. I'm about to start scanning a roll.

Man, this is time consuming. Are you sure you want to do them all?

[Xia_Ke]

It is, especially the Fuji ones cause you can't cut and paste :mad2: I'll just do a few here and there. It will take a while but will be well worth it in the end.

Here are couple of shots from a roll of Neopan 1600 I took with my Bessa R2A. These are straight from my Coolscan V, only resized, except for the close-up, which is a 100% crop. Both shots were taken wide open at f2.

Film Name: Fuji Neopan 1600
Film Format: 35mm, 36 exp
Actual EI: 1600 ISO
Contrast level: This is my first roll, but it seems to be a pretty high contrast film.
Presoak: Yes. Water, at 68 degrees, for about 30 seconds.
Developer Name: D76
Developer Dilution: straight stock
Developer Temp. 68 degrees
Developing Time: 7 min, 15 sec.
Time Measurement Technique: From start of pour-in to start of pour-out...pouring as fast as possible.
Tank Size: single roll, 35mm
Tank Type: stainless steel
Tank Fill Level: I try to leave a little air gap above the film to let the developer slosh around during agitation.
Agitation Technique: 1 inversion (with quarter turn) per second, continuous for first minute, then about 5 inversions in 5 seconds, every minute after.
Stop Bath: Water. Fill, agitate for 30 secs, drain, refill, and agitate for another 30 seconds.
Output: Film scanner.
Subject Matter Comments: As expected with a high contrast film, my best results from this roll where shots from low contrast scenes. This film seems to be very sharp.
Notes for next time: Maybe cut back on development a little. Shadow detail was not very good, indicating this film's true IE is lower than 1600...no surprise.
