Hey Matt,

Nice moment captured. (I don’t know enough to isolate the variables of film stock, developer, time or temp in this situation to comment on the outcome—but beautiful overall. Are the blacks where you want them?)

After a long hiatus (some say 20 years but that can’t be) I’m back in the darkroom—and enjoying your blog immensely. Thanks for the mini-treatise on Diafine. Any future comments on Acufine would be welcome as well!

Cheers!

Tom,

Yeah, I think the black are where I want them. This printed right, so I’m happy.

I’ve never used Acufine, although I’ve been curious. I’ll have to give it a try at some point.

Chris, you’ve gotta watch out for those parking lot robots.
