    Gave my CANON A-1 another outing to see if the strange 'exposure fault' had been cured -- YES -- it seemed to be OK now! I loaded with the last cassette of 1993 bulk HP5+ and used my Home-Made FX-15 formula at 'stock strength' again and it gave wonderful negs with excellent 'Acutance' -- under a x6 Magnifier to old Canon FD 35mm f3.5 lens resolved very fine details. I rated the 1993 film at 125 ASA . I did PRINTS of these and scanned with HP Scanjet 4570 flatbed.

    It's good to see someone with a active interest in analogue photography, I am at the half way point of developing and printing photos.
    I have the camera, lenses, film and darkroom equipment, the missing thing is my darkroom which is slowly being built under my house.
    The main thing slowing me down is there has been no water under the house on the soil for the last 60 years.
    When you drive a crowbar into it the crowbar bounces back.
    With this shut down due to the virus, I am slowly getting the flooring built .
    I am looking forward to the day when I can start printing.
