I expected better results from Ilford PanF 50 film. I don’t know if the fault lies with me (did I wait too long to develop?) or the lab. Unless you request specific chemicals for your black and white film (and pay a bit more), the lab will use Tmax developer for everything.
Still, I’m please with some of the photos I got back. A few of them are cropped. Mostly because I only had a 50mm lens and couldn’t get as close as I wanted to the subject. In the first photo for example, I trimmed off the edge of another building. In the case of the shed and vine support photo, I had to cut out my finger from the bottom of the frame . . . .
Those are pretty gritty, which I definitely like. Funny I got some PanF 50 (120 format) in my Christmas Stocking, so I’m looking forward to shooting with it.
The pylon shot works for me – superb.

Thanks very much. I rather like gritty in black and white photos as well, but I was expecting less grit.
