Boing Boing Photographers' bust card. Here's a great printable one-pager that describes what you're legally allowed to take pictures of, and what to do if someone tries to bust you for it.

Frank, Try reducing the time, but agitating the first 30 seconds, and 5 seconds each minute thereafter. Jim

Sounds like the HC-110 negs may be easier to print than your TMax ones, if you have lighter highlights on the neg but equivalent shadow detail. Is the shadow detail the same? If it is and you want more contrast in your negs, it's a simple matter to increase development a bit. (We tread close to the Zone System here.) I found that TMax negs would produce more shadow detail in prints than I thought there would be, looking at the negative. Remember, it is the print we work for, you don't frame the negative. I bargained for over two years before buying a Medalist II in Kathmandu. Great camera; I was an idiot to sell it. Peace,
Joe

The negatives look funny, but seem to print well enough. The overall contrast seems good, but the highlights seem a little light on the film. I am using a Medalist 6x9 with roll film, a gossen luna-pro SBC, and a Beseler 23C condenser enlarger. I have not tried the zone system with this camera yet, because I was trying to get a basic time and temp chart for a base line. I am trying HC110 with no agitation at 75 degrees for 10 minutes, per the following web site: http://teachnet.edb.utexas.edu/~leica/hc110.html Using TMAX developer, with all recommended agitation and temperature, I get more contrasty negatives. I am still working on this problem, so I don't quite know how to proceed. Frank

Yes, I've used HC-110B very successfully. What sort of problems are you having? Peace.

Does anyone use HC-110 for tmax films? I have tried, but seem to have trouble. TMAX developer always works. I don't know why. Frank Vincent

I too use Forte or Ilford warm tone papers for portraits. I like the way they split tone, giving the portraits an added depth and sparkle. Peace.

Paul, Thanks for the reply. I have a couple follow up questions. What safelight and filter are you using and what wattage bulb? Have you had any disappointment in the Dmax of Forté papers? I have used the Forté Polywarmtone Plus with selectol soft and toned in Selenium 1:21 and liked the results. It has been suggested as a replacement for Agfa Record Rapid (formerly Insignia). Peace!

fot portraits and nudes I prefer the warm tone, for landscapes a 'slight' warm tone is OK. I prefer the Forté-papers because they are so flexible in the highlight part of the tone scale. they are however very sensitive to darkroom light, i had to install dimmers on my dark room light and use very strongly dimmed light!

All right, gentlemen. Thanks for the reply. Now, what are the characteristics you like about those papers? What is it about them that match them to your subjects? What are those subjects? Or is it just that these are what you can get? Peace!

I love the Forté papers very much. It may sound strange: but I use the Forté Cooltone in combination with Agfa Neutol Warmtone developer and toned in a self brewed selenium toner. Also the Forté Warmtone papers (14 and 17) are quite attractive for portraiture... Sincerely Paul Vandepitte

What FB graded paper(s) is everyone using? I decided to do some shopping around and suddenly find that there is little to choose from. It's a good thing the VC papers have improved in quality in recent years. Peace!
