No5

A beautiful morning here, so went out and shot the last few frames of my first roll of No Color Studio's No5. Fingers crossed something useable 'comes out in the wash'.

comes out in the wash

Oh, you're "souping" it in the washing machine? Cool!

Oh yes - it gives excellent agitation...

A few from the roll. A bit thin so could probably have done with being downrated to iso3 or something (or possibly a bit more developement), but still managed to get some useable images. Developed, as usual, in caffenol.

I like 5792 Ralph. Looks like something I'd shoot.

Thanks, Gary.

Very nice results. Given it is high contrast the retention of detail in the highlights is impressive. The thinnish negs probably helped. The first and last are especially effective.

I agree with Pete: first and last are my favourite.

Thanks, gents. I quite like this film and tempted to try another roll some time, maybe in 120, and see if I can get slightly better shadow detail without losing the highlights (possibly try stand dev).

For anyone who might be interested, I did a little blog about my experience with my first roll of the stuff

No.5

There are fast film stocks, medium speed ones, slow ones....and then there are those that are decidedly glacial.

Interesting. Thanks, Ralph.
