Re: KODAK HIE MIN GRAIN FOR 16 X 20's HOW ?

[Russell J Rosener <rrosener@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Really the best way to min mize the grain of an enlargement is shoot a
larger format. Other than that try using a film developer like Kodak
Microdol X if they still make it. Ilford's perceptol developer is very
similar. Keep in mind that you will have to re-test your ASA and exposure
indexes with this devloper.
