Response to Too much contrast...

Robert Orofino's suggestions are exactly as I handle my film processing. The contrast is perfect for grade 2 printing. I purchased and tried Ilfosol and found it very contrasty. I suggest that you make sure that your temperature is accurate. It has been my experience with development times over 10 minutes that the temperature of the chemical will change up to 4 degrees. If the desired temperature is 70 degree F I will start at 68F. The temperature of your hands on a SS tank will increase the temperature during the process. Also, agitation is a big factor in agitation. Too often and too vigorous will enhance contrast.
