Overdevelopment of some kind. How is your agitation? Are you aggressive at all? Are you precise with dilution and temperature? If you're already pretty relaxed when agitating, and your temperature is bang on, I'd suggest shaving 10% off of your processing time. If this results in the clearer base that you desire but then leaves you with a neg that is too flat, try overexposing the film slightly to compensate. > Highlights are ok but I would like to pull more detail from the > shadows.

Does the base of the film appear clearer from the pro lab? -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
