Re: Help with Xtol development times for Ilford SFX in Jobo.

["Jaap Los" <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

Fred,
Sorry Fred, you are right, there is nothing about SFX200 on my site. I read
your message too hastily and thought that it was about HIE. It still remains
a matter of  testing whereby the ISO setting on your camera plays an
important role. I tested SFX200 some 3 years ago and I was not impressed by
the Wood-effect I wanted so much. I learned that a filter which cuts at
appr. 695 NM was the best filter (B+W092, Helioplan 665 or 715 etc.).
Unfortunately this filter cannot be used on a reflex camera as you can't
look through the viewfinder anymore. By that time I didn't know the trick
about the "between the film rails-technics" . I recall, that I set the meter
at ISO 125, set the time/aperture, screw the filter on and shoot. I
developed in XTOL 1+1 during 9 minutes at 20 degrees Celcius (68 degrees
F.). I got a hardly noticable Wood-effect and I decided by that time to stop
with SFX 200  and turn onto HIE.
Hope this message helps! Success!
