While it’s a pain in the back to flip the enlarger around for 20x24 fiber prints, it’s always a treat when they come out

First time I’ve had to mess with the cyan dial, in the end got meh-ish results from 24y/8m/16c but any over exposure on the negs leads straight to cyan while underexposure skews to magenta. I know some folks have tried to put a clear orange mask, which I may try but it’s unhelpful for a contact sheet. May be another one of those newer films that is more for scanning than optical work.

Back to some run of the mill work prints from a recent trip to Chicago. This film stock is a tricky one to work with, as it has two emulsion layers rated for different speeds. The first roll I shot at its nominal 400 iso speed and developed in my go-to homemade 510-pyro, which was a disaster. With the second roll I went more conservative and gave it an extra stop of light and developed it in Rodinal, which others have had success with. I think it came out pretty nice, if very grainy, which lends it a mid-century look.

it's never coming out isn't it...

just in the last two days it went from overdue, to late to July, to late August...

Struggling to get values down for harman azure 120 on my Durst m605. Went from 80y80m to closer to 65y50m but still get a general green cast on the whites. Fixing this pushes everything to brown. I also struggled to print regular Phoenix ii. Any ideas would be helpful (fwiw I also think the contact sheet holders + glass give everything a bit of a yellow cast that I have to add when just enlarging)
