These are shots taken with a Voigtlander Vitomatic IIIb with Ultron f/2 lens. I had a crack at self developing the film but clearly failed to get good results, which was disappointing. I think I had the timing and chemistry right, so perhaps the water temperature was off. Living in Scotland means it's barely ever over 18°C in our kitchen, which means having to heat up water and trying to keep the temperature stable. I supect that's where it went wrong. In the end, the contrast was low and the pictures were pretty grainy, most too dark too get much out of it.
This was a few years ago. It did put me off trying much with self developing again. I did a few with better results, but still feel that I get better results sending the film to a lab.
