Re: Thin negatives

["Don Bryant" <dsbryant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joseph,

Assuming that good exposures are being made in bright sunlight @f 11 for
1/125 sec. with a #25 red filter, that extrapolates to and EI of about 200
with a 3 stop compensation for filtration. This will produce a thinner
negative but with good shadow detail when using PMK, however you may wish to
bracket arount this as your milage may vary.

HIE, stains very well and prints well too, giving finer grain than D-76 or
HC-110, and XTOL (my opinion). The look of this film/developer combination
is I think unique and provides a different creative option with HIE.

BTW, once you have arrived at a workable time/temperature combination for
HIE you can apply this to 2475 High Speed Recording film and get a cool 1000
E.I. with nice looking grain. Different than TMZ but not as pronounced as
when using HC-110 or Rodinal. I consider 2475 to be a "sister" emulsion to
HIE.
