I shot this roll of Potsdam 100 (believed to be ORWO UN54) at box speed; my Pentax MX is pretty reliable for metering. I used the SMC Pentax M 28/3.5 for most of the roll. It was developed in my Rondinax tank (continuous rotation) in HC 110 dilution E (1+47). This meant 4.2 ml of syrup in 200 ml of solution, as noted this was less than the minimum 6 ml of syrup per roll of film recommended by
Michael Covington : "Be sure to use at least 6 mL of syrup per 135-36 or 120 roll of film, even if this requires you to put more than the usual amount of liquid in the tank". I was reassured by
@Asha's results with 3 ml, but I'm now convinced that Asha is in fact a wizard, as the negatives look under-done to me (as Covington would suggest). Next time I will make 300 ml of solution, even though the tank only needs 200 ml; there'll be some leakage from the spindle, but that'll be OK.
Anyway, they scanned reasonably well, apart from a tendency to produce a lot of grain in lighter areas the moment I introduce a bit of sharpening or clarity in PP. I must admit, I quite liked the look.
a) This is a back stair visible from the new Physic Garden to Holyrood, that I rather like:

d) The swan pond and St Anthony's Chapel in Holyrood Park, with some nice stormy weather:

As I think I mentioned, I struggled up the hill (in inappropriate shoes) to get a shot with the chapel in the foreground, but there wasn't quite enough on the roll for the last frame!
