Sorry Conrad, I have full range from lows to highs, no blocking; 'tonality' is not the problem.(posted 8914 days ago)How should I say this: If there is a white shirt and a dark area of background directly beside it, the 'transition' between them is very soft, and it's prevalent like that in all areas where one value meets another, throughout the whole tonal range of the film. Does that help? I hope so I have a shoot on Friday and I'd like to figure this out so I can use the film I've already bought.
I never had this problem with regular 35mm Tri-X, so I am hoping I have done something wrong. Do you think I would get better results with doubling the amount of stock PMK? Or maybe changing the time for some reason? Or could it be my developing temp (80deg. which Hutchings says is fine for this emulsion and has been fine for all my other stuff)?
Thanks for your help.
