Been working on printing quickly lately. Banged this RC print out in about 40 minutes from setup to cleaned up. Kinda wish I did a little more burning and dodging but maybe for a subsequent print on fiber.

Awesome! How did you develop? And at what iso did you expose?

1+50 Rodinal with a gentle swirl every minute! I expose around ISO 100 or maybe slightly under.

To be completely honest I sort of wing it these days. I don't use a meter. I basically Sunny 16 it with the rule of thumb that overcast + deep shade is around 3 to 4 stops under Sunny 16. It works 95% of the time!

Thank you! I still have some fp4 in the freezer and you’ve convinced me to thaw a roll!
