    These are great. I love how you captured the fog, while still able to pull in the contrast and the details. What developer did you use on these?

    @mike1allison Thanks Mike. HC-110, 31:1 for 6 1/2 minutes. Pale yellow filter helps to cut through and boosts the contrast a little too. :-)

    @scout2017 I always forget the filters. Thanks good to see HC-110 can tame that film. I heard it's Agfa Aviphot 400 pan. Not sure but I have some on a slow boat coming my way. Looking for some ways to develop. I kind of feel that HC-110 and Rodinal will alway yield something. Did you shoot it at 400? Thanks!

    @mike1allison 400, yes. :-) I like the 80S better, obviously finer grained but also nicer grey tones, but this was going very cheap! Would be worth pulling to see what happens...

    @scout2017 Stark contrast is beautiful, as you show here. Funny I spent most of my life pushing. But I love slow film. I've read people say ISO 50 is best with this film, but who knows what they were really using since AGFA does/did a lot of different aero/recon films. (80 is 80, I believe, lol). If I'm still alive when mine arrives I'll give it a try. I was thinking to try it with MCM-100 or another PPD or CD-2 or CD-3 developer for fine grain, shoot it slow and see where it goes...

    @scout2017 Looks like I ordered 200ISO. But same deal I think
