I was playing with my new to me Olympus OM-4 and some film I picked up at the APUG Conference from JandC Photo. It's called Adox 100 formerly Efke, the film is made in Croatia and has a high silver content, the way they used to make film. I used HC110 developer with an unnoffical dilution designated H.

Shooting the second roll in late March gave me a lot more the look I adored. Due to the polyester base Aero Color IV is easy to scan, you can almost colour correct during the scanning process, reducing your work flow a bit at the other end in Lightroom. Again being a polyester base, you want to load thi
