Hi all! Thanks for the insightful responses, I really appreciate the time and effort it takes to write on such a finicky and complex subject. :) I forgot to mention a couple of things: I do own a light meter (and my cameras have built in light meters); I do ... ehm, hybrid process, at least...

Hi all, I am thinking of getting my analog process a bit more "under control" instead of doing the regular ol' motions like "sunny f 16" and develop in Rodinal for the Ilford prescribed times. What might be the right process to do so? I often use HP5+ and FP4+, I develop in Rodinal and various...
