B&W film
Last Gasp from Leverkusen
AGFA Agfapan APX 100 Professional 30,5mThe thousands of running meters of film still left over from the last days of production at Agfa's Leverkusen factory are nearly all gone. There are two German companies trying hard to reproduce or even enhance the tried-and-true APX formulas...but everyone who's tried it knows that this film is like Coca-Cola: often imitated but never equalled. For anyone who wants a taste of the "real deal", 50 bulk rolls have been put on sale by Foto-R3.com (Spain).

Rollei Retro 400S + Finol
Just developed a roll of Rollei RETRO 400S in Moersch Finol. Even through the film was exposed at the nominal ISO rating of 400, the visual appearance of the negative is stunning. I can imagine that exposing this film at 320 ISO will sharpen the detail. The stain is brownish but not very pronounced.
On the Outskirts of Astorga
Near AstorgaOn the outskirts of Astorga, we came across this old building, just as the brooding sky was about to open up and let the rain come down.
The resultant negative has a high degree of visual density and it looks like a good candidate for the enlarger. Developed for 5 minutes at a dilution of 1+30, 24ºC, rotary development.
