12x10 ULF shenanigans

[Nas]

This evening I decided to brave the heat and dragged my 12x10 camera into town to test out my Dallmeyer 15x12 lens for the first time. Having a built in aperture was a huge bonus.

I used Ilford dry plates a friend kindly gifted me. They were found stored in the back of a church.

Rated at ISO 3 and developed in ID-11 1+3 by inspection (23C). Dev time was around 4 mins which was the time I’d previously used at 1+1 dilution at 20C. The darkroom is a bit warm at the moment. The plates are still drying.

Looks good Nas, finding plates that size that are still OK is amazing.

thanks, Ian. I lucked out with these glass plates. Must have been cool in the back of the church over the years
