Too many lenses and cameras to go through, so I extended the Nikon Rf month a bit into August. I also wanted to switch developer from the Beutler to Kodak's D96, which was the developer for the EK 5222 and EK 5231 moviestocks. I had no real reference for the +X and D96 so I extrapolated from other "soups" and came up with 6 min (including fill and drain time). Biggest problem was the current hot weather which had pushed up the temperature in the darkroom to 25+. Slight over cooked film - though it scanned well. Next batch will be 5 min, if the temperature stays at +25 - or leave it at 6 for +20.
I was also checking a M2 Rapidwinder pre-shipping to a customer - dug out my Nikkor 50f1.4 LTM lens - just to keep "on topic".

Stepping "stones" across a pond. Obviously they either lost their measuring tape - or it was an artistic statement of some kind.

I assume that they do have access for people with wheel-chairs or with difficulty walking. Over the last decade I have started to look differently at design in this aspect. I do "wobble" a bit when walking and if the stairs dont have hand-rails - I will not use them - particularly descending them!!!!! SFU does have some stairs that are equipped with hand-rails - but many more without!!!!

This was a very dark set of stairs! Exposure was around 1/60 and f2-2.8. Any bright spots flared out quite significantly - upper edge and halfway along the right edge. Still holds details - but would be tricky too wet-print.
