   Great framing Simon. Reminds me of a shot from 'Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush'. That double X looks really nice.

   @malcolm_tremain cheers, I can be playful sometimes:) agree the xx is great, not entirely convinced by rodinal for portraits though, best left for the gritty street stuff i think.

   @charliedontsurf I think Rodinal works well here. Of course you know that XX, a movie film, is designed to be developed in D96 or D76 for best tonal range and shadow detail but it looks nice in Rodinal. You should also fix it for at least 10 minutes too.

   @malcolm_tremain yes, I've had my best results in xtol which I've even pushed to 1600without too much grain, I tried that with rodinal the other day and well,you can guess what it looked like, might post a couple for giggles.
