Response to Film developer advice

As you can see from all these great accurate responses, nearly all developers handled in the right way will give excellent results. Technique, from exposure through development is the key to satisfactory negatives. Most problems with bad negatives comes from bad exposure conditions right off the bat than anything else. Most people complain about contrast in their negs or thin shadow areas or even no shadows. Just blank black areas where they saw details. It's a system and you should learn the whole system to get the most from your efforts. If there was one truly great developer that was "the best" then everyone would use just that one brand. But the fact is that they are all good developers and you have to learn there individual charateristics. James
