Response to Revised development times for Kodak films at new plant

The issue is not really whether we have to change development times, rather the issue is whether the emulsion has changed in qualitative terms. Do the changes affect shadow detail, latitude, contrast, etc? If any of these factors has changed, they may have changed for the better or the worse. But the initial slant that Kodak was trying to spin on the changes was that they were only the result of moving to a new plant, and not changes in the emulsion formula. If the development time changes by 25%, it is hard to believe that the emulsion has not been changed.
