Stylish, high contrast, sublime grain

I shot with this film when I visited a ruined castle made enitrely of white stone and I entirely regret it because this film does black so well. I guess I should've taken a hint when I saw it was called 'Black Market'.
I'm only uploading a few shots for this reason (I also totally overexposed a lot of film), but even on these compressed images you can see just how sharp the details are; how inky and well-defined the blacks come out with all their variations and shades; just *how bright* whites are. The clear reflection in the man's sunglasses, for example. I also think the grain is very pretty when you zoom in a little. I feel like film this contrast-y should do well with slick cityscapes and architectural photography, and I'm sure it does, but that grit makes me wonder if this could work well in street photography, or stylized photoshoots emphasising a mix of grit and modernity.
Only one way to find out.

Obviously, learn from my mistakes: don't shoot in super bright sunlight, or shoot bright/light subjects. Let the film bring out interesting details and contrasts in the images you shoot. I hope this helps.

I understand why this gets sold out, and I'm excited to try another roll!

Great blacks!

Flush with enthusiasm with my Pentax 17, I bought a Pentax ME Super on Ebay - I bought one of these back in 1980 with my first moths wages, to replace the SP100 I had used till then. It was like getting an old friend back.
Off to Bamburgh with a roll of Mr Negative in late November - unseasonably decent weather and a relatively late sunrise allowed Mr Negative to show some great blacks and fantastic contrast.
I developed this at home in Adonal 1:50 for 12 mins at 20c (thanks for the advice from the AW Technicians) and I'm very happy with the richness of the results. Also seems like the ME Super is doing its stuff perfectly.
Apologies for the home scanning and processing, AW definitely do it better but I'm learning.

What is the dev times if shot at the recommended iso 200? Can't find it anywhere.

Hi Will, we would recommend processing at the regular time whatever that is for your particular kit, as the film is best shot at +1 and developed regularly. - Amy
