I remember taking the negatives out of the tank and saying to Mat, "That guy really understands exposure!", or something similar. I don't think web viewing does them any justice. Perhaps some 8x10 or larger fiber based glossies would be in order.
For the record, Mark told me he exposed the Plus-X at 125. Kodak's recommended dev time for HC-110 dil B is under four minutes. Dev times that short scare me. I think I ended up doubling the dilution and almost doubling the dev time. Anyway, wonderful photos. Every time someone posts something like this, I start considering getting myself a 645.
