Negatives drying, ready to be scanned

Another adventure awaits tonight as I'll put the latest roll of film into the scanner to see if anything is worth saving. Last night I developed my first roll of Efke 50 b/w film (120) - never shot with ISO 50 film before, so I have no idea if what I took will actually come through or not.

I had a hard time finding developing times for this film with the developer I have (Ilford DD-X). I ended up having to post a question on the photo.net boards, and someone came back with a response of 7minute with the stock dilution. So I crossed my fingers and gave it a whirl.

The negatives look pretty good to the naked eye, but I do not have a light table (to be built) and I can't find my loupe anyway.

Hoping one of the frames is good enough for this week's photo. Stay tuned...

Reading this post about developing film is kind of like reading a foreign language to me, haha. (stock dilution! light table! loupe!) But my mom is visiting in a few weeks, and she's bringing me her old Canon AE-1 Program to play with -- so I will probably need to brush up on a few things relating to film :)

Excited to see this week's photo---
