Steve W @webosuser.bsky.social · 19/11/2025#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. /1 130
