In that case you may want to check, because I'm pretty sure that XP2 developed in C-S becomes a 'normal' silver emulsion. You only get the dye clouds with C41 processing. I can't remember the...

:eek: If Fuji imagine that this camera is going to re-energise the film market, I fear they are going to be sadly mistaken. I think Mr Kobayashi has missed the (price) point with this one.

The first time I used Celer-Stellar was when I unloaded a roll of Tri-X, loaded a roll of FP4 and - yes, you guessed it - forgot to alter the ASA dial. 400ASA is no problem to C-S with FP4, and the...

Pre-soak or not Pre-soak, that is the question!

My experience in this - as in all things - is limited to 35mm and 6x6cm, so I can't speak for what happens when developing sheet film. Nor do I have any scientific knowledge!

Ilford Cooltone

Does anyone know what's happened to this paper? The only stock I can find is some 10 x 8 which Retro has. Has it been discontinued by Ilford? I sincerely hope not! :(
