In a last weekend I have load three short rolls of Fomapan 400 Action for
testing. I have shot normal regular scene with average contrast and few
into sun shots and one series of over under exposure shots.
First roll I have developed in FD10 1:9 20.5C for 8min together with
Fomapan 200@100 as the time was the same.
This rolls get out little bit underdeveloped I think that rising time to
10 min would improve the result.
The Second roll I have developed in Paterson Aculux II 1:9 20.5C for 12min
together with Ilford HP5+ as the time was only 1 min more than I normally
develop HP5+ in Aculux.
Interesting enough this time seems to bit correct and negative looks in
average to have same contrast and density as HP5+. As I am running out of
FD10 and have still three liters of Aculux II, I will use this one for next
tests.
I can't say much about grain as I didn't scan the rolls yet. That will be
for tomorrow. Than I have one more experiment to perform. Shooting night
scene with Fomapan 400. That will be more about exposure time than about
development time.
