Diamonds in the sky (updated with Adox MCC print)

The Uni campus next door to where I live was built in the late 1960s and has some fabulous architecture - a mix of classic 60s design with some much more modern buildings.  I really should go there more often.  Depending on the time of day, the place offers up contrasting shots with different aspects of the buildings illuminated as the sun moves around (or as the Earth spins, I guess - take your pick).

I wanted to print this on Adox MCC paper, which has a very bright white base but when I searched in the darkroom there was none open, so I used Foma 133 instead, which is a much warmer paper.  The sky in this print has almost gone to black and I think the Adox would result in more contrast between the sky and the building, which might show the diamond design more clearly.  I have some Adox in the freezer so I'll get a few sheets out and try this one again next time I'm in the darkroom.

Update

So here's the Adox MCC version:

As expected, it's a lot brighter and the diamonds stand out a little more.  But...looking at the two prints side by side (they are both 9.5"x12") I can't decide which I prefer, which has surprised me.  I thought the Adox would blow the Foma away for this particular negative, but the Foma has a lovely look to it as well.  If anything, the warmth of the Foma seems to give it more depth. My wife prefers the Foma.

MCC is described on Adox's website as among the technologically advanced papers in the world and it gained a lot of followers when it was being produced.  A couple of years ago it was clear that there were going to be supply problems (Adox mentioned labour problems during Covid) so I bought 100 sheets of the stuff - the boxes have been living in my freezer ever since.  It was expensive, but perhaps I should have bought more as it doesn't look like its going to available to purchase again any time soon.  Adox say they have the capability, but they can't produce it at a market-acceptable price.  If they ever do start production again - and they seem reluctant to do so -  it's going to cost a lot more than I paid for it, that's for sure.  Their website states that stored below 6 degrees it's good for about 8 years, so I should be OK for a while yet.

The prices of paper (and film) has risen dramatically of late.  Sometimes I wonder if I will be able to justify the costs for much longer.  But then again, film and darkroom work is really my only thing.  I know folk around these parts who willing pay a couple of thousand pounds every year for Golf Club membership - and I don't spend anything near that on film and paper.  So for now I take a deep breath a couple of times a year, re-stock the darkroom and get on with it.
