A film test. I swapped a few rolls of film for this 10m roll of ancient black and white agfa slide film with @captainfantastic. I really had no idea what it would be like but to say I'm stoked is an understatement. Rodinal 1+50 for 15 minutes seems to have done the trick, the exposures ranging from iso32 down to iso 2! Its undeniably slow but what an amazing emulsion.

    @charliedontsurf wow it has a nice range. Look at all those whites and greys from the mirror to the fence and door, but you're also getting the marks on the white door under the glass. A lot of detail for this ancient stuff. Cool. Looks like they left the grain out... lol

    @mike1allison I think you probably meant to leave this comment on one of the other ones but yes, detailed in the extreme!

    @charliedontsurf specifically with this shot I mean the details in the white. Look on the door, that white shows the grey and brown wear marks and "seasoning" above and below the window. The shadow details, yes they are better represented at the slower speeds, but this is actually impressive. I think, anyway. Probably the patience of the rodinal as well really working in all that emulsion.

    @mike1allison I see what you mean now. I suppose somewhere between the two would be ideal and maybe some extra development would make the difference.
