Do you see any difference in the results doing a presoak? As I understand it, the emulsion on 135/120/220 are all roughly the same. It's a few 4x5 & 5x5 and a lot of 8x10 & larger that gets a thick emulsion which responds to presoaking. In particular, TMax. Hence 2 different developers, with RS for sheet and TMax for the rest. CRB -------------------- Consider the Balkans and Iraq. The claims about Iraq included: Weapons of mass destruction exist and Iraq is a training ground for terrorists. After we found multiple terrorist training facilities, the complaint is that we haven't found "hard" evidence. Like a treaty or somethings. Sheesh. Aren't the training camps enough? The claim about the Balkans was: WWIII might start if we don't go in. Historical nonsense. Just some manipulation from the White House. Shall we not hold President Clinton equally responsible for the deaths from this lie? -- just me
