That's the unedited, straight from the scanner and immediately downsized to JPEG copy... :lawl:

It's Arista II ISO 400... I don't know why that one turned out so grainy...

EDIT: It's not a film scan to positive, it's a scan of the print on Arista II variable contrast resin coated paper.

what developer? that has a lot to do with the grain structure.

arista "premium" is supposedly reboxed kodak tri-x and the "EDU" (the replacement for II i think) is rebranded fomapan...

No, the Arista II and .EDU are different, and to my knowledge is made in England by Kentmere exclusively for Freestyle Photo while the .EDU is made in Hungary.

I believe it was developed with Arista 76 developer, whatever the Arista equivalent to Kodak D-76 is. I know the holes in the print are on the paper itself and not the film.

it would seem that it is d-76...so that is a decently fine-grain developer...equivalent to ilford dd-x...

czech republic is fomapan

and i know this because i have a box of foma 400 sitting here and it has all sorts of crazy writing on it :lawl:

when i make my next film order, im getting a little bit of everything...some arista, going to try kentmere, have to get a tri-x roll...also going to try tmax in my dd-x developer cause i like the results ive seen...

If I ever get into developing again, i'd like to try a different paper... the arista stuff has gorgeous contrast, but the darkest of the black appear a little gray, kinda like old LCDs.
