I can't wait until he criticizes Rembrandt's work by saying, "It could have better if he used brand 'X' brush".

People like this have probably never used Rodinal and couldn't tell a Rodinal print if it fell on them.

Jim, use whatever dev works for *YOU*. Ignore the "experts" who say such-n-such dev doesn't work, or this-n-that dev isn't good for this. Do what *YOU* like!

[quote="Greg Winterflood" Also, Jim Appleyard might like to see there, a photo of the antihalation dye I retrieved from a pre wash of the first roll of efke film I attempted to develop. I botched loading it onto a Patterson reel in a foggy darkroom, but got some vague images. I've since improved the...

And what makes you an authority? What is your education///background// in photography?

I thought this forum might be good, but I guess not.

"The high-contrast look is extremely trite, and was old hat by 1970."

In YOUR opinion.

Who's to say Analog hasn't already perfected his/her skills??? Maybe this person just simply want to have fun with photography. Who says the negs are ruined? Maybe Analog *WANTS* them that way? Who cares if you've been there, done that? What does it matter to you, Ornello? Are his/her high contrast ...

D-76 1+3 works well with slow fims in 35mm and faster films with larger formats. At least that's how it works for me. I've done quite a bit of Pan-F with the 1+3 dilution; some APX 100 in 120 size. Both look good.

Well, the holy hot rod works fine for me. I use 1+75 for 15 min at an EI of 32; great negs.

I've also had good luck with D-76, 1+3. I think that was 15 min as well.

1+24, or more commonly, 1+25 is a standard Rodinal dilution. 1+10 is what I've read on other forums to increase contrast. Sorry, I can't give you a time, you'll have to experiment. Please try your bottle of Rodinal on test film first. It's probably fine, but a test roll is a cheap way to find out. A...

...but it's new to analog.life. Geez, let the guy experiment. Yes, you can control contrast in the printing stage (easier to control), or you can process the film as high contrast. You can try Rodinal (yup, still made) at something like 1+10. Or Dektol at 1+9. It may take you more than the roll you ...

Anyway... by the time you get to 1:100, 1+100, 1+99 it's going to make very little difference. I need to correct my previous post: I've never shot Efke 100, only the 25. However, the statement about Rodinal lasting a long time is still true and Efke 100 in Rodinal should still be a nice combo at the...
