Developing times for HP5 Plus in Acutol :
1+10, 7 minutes from Ilford
From Paterson:
1+9, 8 minutes (on their web site)

Our own - and modest - Ralph Lambrecht has just published a new book,
with co-writer Chris Woodhouse:
"Way Beyond Monochrome: Advanced Techniques for better Black & White
Photography and Printing"

just thought i would seek the opinions of those more technically
proficient than myself...
a few months ago by mistake i found that Ilford HP5+ could be pushed
from ISO 400 to ISO 3200 using Kodak T-Max developer at 75 degrees

How many of you out there are using the new Tri-X developed in HC110?
Michael Covington's page http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/hc110/
says Kodak made a mistake with the development times for Dilution B.
Can anyone confirm this? 3 3/4 minutes at 20 degrees C seems awfully

I guess r.photo.darkroom is no less vulnerable to keyboard wars than any
other news group.  I was sorta hoping that guys who did darkroom stuff were
a bit more tech oriented and perhaps less responsive to Usenet drama
queens.  Oh well....

Increasing the sulfite content of a typical fixer will allow it to be
stored longer?
(I don't mean exaustion by silver - just possible oxidation due to air
contact, etc).

Mark has posted the scan I made of three prints made last week on HP5+
and Acutol of a contrasty scene, showing what that film-developer
combo can do.

I posted this earlier, but I don't think it appeared on many news
servers thus I'm posting it again (using Google).

The writer contacted myself and apparently many other posters on

I just restarted my hobby of photography after about 25 years. I
remember printing color negs on b&w paper, but I can't remember how to
do it.
It seems to me I used filters to adjust the contrast, but in trying it

I post to this forum and other use.net through Google groups. Is there a better way?

I am trying too get in contact with someone from the photograpic society, if
you are in charge or no someone that is please contact me

This should be of interest. It looks like no VC paper matches up with
the ANSI/ISO grade system. Look at grade 3, for instance. MG IV at 3
is closer to 3 1/2, and Kodak Polymax at grade 3 is closer to ANSI 2.
It looks like I should use grade 2 1/2 filter on my MG IV!
