Love the photo, Gerk86. Really cool

I just shot my first roll of b&w (neopan 400). Haven't had a chance to leave it in to be developed yet, but I'm really interested to see how it turns out.

thanks! yea, neopan is my film of choice. Really like the contrasts, not like that ilford muck!

Pah ! You parvenus. Tri-x is the only -real- b&w film !

I've wet printed before, but only briefly. Never really got a chance to pursue it properly because of time and space constraints. My enlarger is sitting in a cupboard waiting for the opportunity though, i definately plan on doing it again. All my trays and safelights have come in useful since though, developing 8x10 paper negatives exposed in-camera.

Give me a shout if you'd like to learn how to print them yourself.
