Thank you waegwan, back in those days, I bought Kodak Tri-X in 100 ft rolls, and developed it by often pushing a full stop or more. I sort of embraced the grain. The pleasant surprise is how much fun it is to work with these as digigal files. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Interesting, in those days I was shooting mostly 120 in TLRs. I too enjoy grain and high contrast. I shot a lot of Pan-X 100 because it was all I could get in 120 but every once in a while I'd get a roll of Tri-X 400. I developed my own film and made my own prints but it was community dark room so I had no control over the temp or age of the chemicals. It was always a little tricky to see what I'd get. Fortunately I enjoyed the time at the enlarger doing test strips, tilting, dodging and burning. I have just recently gotten a film scanner and started in that. :-)

I loved my Yashica Mat and working with that larger format. In the late sixties and early seventies, I lived in San Francisco and had a not-too-convenient dark room in my apartment, but I lived a few blocks away from a city parks and recs, extremely well-run community dark room. I loved my time in the darkroom and for the past few years I have been trying to learn my way around the digital darkroom. Working with my old film in digital format has been a pleasant reminder of how much can be done with a B&W print. The cool news is that all of our old processes and goals can be accomplished faster, cheaper, with more control and finer, more specific application in the digital darkroom. You are going to have some fun!
Best, Phil
