I'll try it. But you were probably using 4x5 negs, weren't you?
The massive dev chart suggests 5 min at 72F (22C) for Dektol 1+10 and Tri-X exposed at 400. The grain is really apparent when I blow up scanned images 3 or 4 times. It seems fine, though, for web presentation. I'd imagine that it's probably OK for 8x10 prints, too. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
