New on 500px : CHM 400 first test shot by EliphasDE by EliphasDE

I finally had the time/money to go shopping for some new rolls of film. Due to the fact, that Kentmere gets a bit more expensive in Germany these day I wanted to try out CHM 400. It is said to be the same as Kentmere 400 but I have the slight feeling it pushes quite a lot better.
I didn’t even bother for stock speed and directly tried pushing it to ISO 3200 in X-Tol (stock solution). Worked pretty good.

New on 500px : another test by EliphasDE by EliphasDE

I am recently experimenting with extreme push development using two bath of developers. In this case I used Rodinal 1+100 in stand for an hour and X-tol 1+1 for another 16 minutes. The film was Fomapan 100 which I shot at ISO 1600. I am not really happy with the result but wanted to share.
