Re: Thin negatives

["Gary Hall" <gary_hall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I expose my film the same way and developed in X-tol for 8 1/2 min and got thin negs. I think they were just under developed. I'll try another roll and try D-76 for 11 minutes, and probably xtol for 9 minutes (all at 70 degrees) and see what I get. 

It seems that most people meter at EI 250. I don't meter at all and bracket at 5.6, 8, and 11 at 1/250th. I take them to my lab and they look fine. But they of course use a large tank so they can't be much help on dev times.

If your interested I'll let you know how they turned out and perhaps someone will have a suggestion.

Good luck,

Gary
