the Arnold Gassen Method at Last

["Amber" <summertime@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here it is the Arnold Gassen Method for HC-110.  From the still 
living Arnold Gassen long may he wave.

			HC-110
Make a working stock of  1 part HC-110 to 9 parts water 

Dilute the working stock as follows  to  get 900ml of developing 
solution

Dilution			1:9 stock			water
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1:30				300ml			600ml
1:40				224ml			676ml
1:50				180ml			720ml
1:60				150ml			750ml
1:65				138ml			762ml
1:70				124ml			776ml
1:80				100ml			800ml


Time for normal emulsion films(Tri-X, Plus-X, HP5, FP4, Pan-f)
ALWAYS 5 MINS AT 70 DEGREES

Time for T-Grain type films (T-MAX 100 and 400, any similar 
technology euro films)
ALWAYS 6.5 MINS AT 70 DEGREES
(p.s this is an addition to AG's original method, which was 
formulated before such films were made the time was formulated by 
Tillman Crane through testing and densitometer readingand is solid)

*Time for Kodak HIE film  5 mins (p.s this suggested by Sharon Fox 
originally and I think only anecdotally tested, cerainly anecdotally 
only by me, do your own tests guys)

Now use the following dilutions to deveop your film according to the 
desired result :

Film		Development desired
		N--		N-		N		N+		N++
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tri-X	1:60		1:50		1:40		1:30		----
Plus-X	-----		1:80		1:70		1:60		1:50
Pan-X	-----		1:80		1:70		1:60		1:50
HP5		1:70		1:65		1:60		1:55		-----
FP4		1:70		1:65		1:60		1:55		-----	
Pan-F	1:80		1:70		1:60		1:50		----
T-max 100	test		1:50		1:40		1:30		test
T-max 400	test		1:50		1:40		1:30		test
HIE		test		test		1:20		test		test
T-max 3200 Not recommended for this method

Sorry about only the suggested start point for HIE.  Test, test test.
And the same rules that always apply, apply here, development effects 
the highlights, exposure--shadows.  Expose for shadows and use this 
the appropriate dilution to cut down or increase highlights. ( Don't 
everyone write me posts saying DUH!)
