Cooling my heals in the Upper Peninsula, waiting to meet up with Ken.
I brought mainly Acros, but I have two rolls of Pan F with me. I would
have brought more but hadn't the time to order any. I had apparent
success developing it in a highly dilute mix of HC110 -- I'm calling it
"dilution Z" -- just before leaving. It's 25% of dilution B! Seems to
have excellent tonalities, as scanned. We shall see what we see once
Ken gets his darkroom humming.
Rain has stopped for the moment. Shutters call.
