yellow. a first use of a fiber base paper negative, problematic in that the Adox mcc 5x7 paper is slightly larger enough to be a struggle to place in the film holder, unlike the Adox mcp 5x7, which perfectly fits the holder. reason enough to not utilize the fiber base as the the negative, however, this very first exposure on fb, with a subsequent wet contact print onto the same fb paper, and which, was scanned wet into the computer, does hold interest, such that I might use again.

fiber base paper contact print, paper negative exposed in sinar norma57 with a no-shutter darlot lens, developed in D76

beautiful light today under low clouds with intermittent drizzle. covered the norma57 with a plastic bag as it stood on the tripod. exposed two sheets of planfilmCHS25, and four sheets of adox mcp310 paper. came back a few hours later and exposed a few more sheets of paper. the 5x7 paper fits perfect in the film holders and mates nicely with more 5x7 paper contacts.

some success with paper negative exposed with norma57 and darlot. paper neg is adox mcp310, and after several trial wet-contact prints on the mcp310, a few wet and dry contact prints were made on adox mcc110 fb/vc. this particular image is via a wet-contact wherein the print paper is placed in the water bath where the wet negative paper already rests, waiting to otherwise be air dried. only benefit to the wet-contact print is the quicker turn-around. this image does show an area of off-tone that must be from air bubble or less water-saturated print paper.

perhaps left unclear in the above descript...the wet paper negative and the wet print paper are placed face to face with the negative on top, and the pair is then placed under the enlarger head for exposure.
