One thing I have thought of a few times recently was a long discontinued high acutance developer made in powder form by Ilford called Hyfin. It was never sold as a liquid because it started to decay within an hour of mixing. It is a long time since I have used it and I would even suggest it is better than Rodinal (Except the keeping qualities) I have contacted Ilford to try to get the formula but they point blank refused to release the details. I would love to have it back again.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be you'll find. |

when it came out I atrted using Ilfospeed developer for all papers not just Ifospeed RC. Better than the college supplied "universal" developer which I only used for paper, D76 for film.
Last saw a bottle for sale (not the original conical shape) about 20 years ago. |

John, how badly do you want a roll? I have a single roll of 135 that I will never shoot. I'll send it to you if it's a precious commodity there and you're really pining for it. Just shoot me a PM if interested.

I never got to spend enough time getting to know Agfa papers, Record Rapid, Portriga and Brovira.

No problem John. I think this roll expired in '99 or thereabouts....sounds like it will be well past its prime. I'll probably just toss it.

Svend, don't toss it.
I like IR film in the Horizon. http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...68/ppuser/2109 http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...78/ppuser/2109 If you didn't mind selling it I'd love to see what HIE looked like as Pano. Clip test for dev time, and worst case is I waste a couple of hours of my life on the project. |

I exposed a cassette of HIE last year which was given to me and the negs were not too bad and made prints. Not so hot as I would have liked but I would say - usable. So do give it a go even if it is well out of date.

Nice images Skellum! If I had any experience at all (exactly zero) with shooting IR I would keep it. I think it would be fun to try. But I believe special filters are needed, which I don't have.
