#believeinfilm #SHD50 I shot a short roll of SHD50 at an EI of 25 and developed it in HC110 to see how it developed. First pass, I think that 5 min in HC110 1:31 @ 5min is a good start. What was unexpected is that the color response is off and that contrast is high. Details in the alt-text. /1

This is SHD50, EI25 shot in a Nikon FM2 with a Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8. Shutter was 1/200, XSync setting, and aperture was f/5.6. The photographs were taken on a bright sunny day.
Film was developed in HC110, diluted 1:31 for 5 minutes at about 21C.
This is a negative, it has not been processed to positive.
Two things strike me, 1) The big white rectangle on the left side of the photograph is a gray card. It looks the same as the black square in the bottom left of the color patches on the right side of the image.
2) Red, Green, and Blue patches on the right colunm of the color patches are all very light.

This is a color photograph of the test subject for reference.
This photograph was taken with a Pixel 7 'smart' phone.

The gray card on the left came out the same as the black square on the right. The red, green, and dark blue came out as very faint gray. The splotch on the top of the negative is human error. Putting short pieces of film on a metal reel is a challenge. /2
