I exposed a roll of Tri-X at 1600 indoors with mid window lighting, it seems that Diafine is one the best choice for pushing to 1600 and still get some decent printable negatives, but I've read many alternatives about how to agitate. If you agitate too much you wash out the solution A and so the...

Thanks for everyone evaluations, this is a scan of a print from the roll:

How would you rate the negatives density? Developed with D76 1:1 for 9:30 minutes. The second picture is from a portion of the contact sheet made with a 1 filter to evaluate more of the shadows details on the under-exposed ones...

If you look in the first negative strip, the sprocket holes are barely visible from the black of the film rebate, while in the last two of the roll, they are visible (so with less exposure). I will try to raise the head much more and adjust focus to see if the exposure became consistent across...

As you can see the bottom rebate are less exposed. Maybe I should try to raise the enalarger more so it cover all the baseboard size? Lens is stopped 3 stop... Of course they are from the same roll and I put a glass on them.

When making a contact sheet, I aim for maximum black using a strip of negative, but often when exposing the whole roll, the exposure time to get the rebate black is not the same for all 6 strips of cut negative. The ones that are done using my test strip are matching, but others are more...

I cleaned the mirror of an LS-4000 with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and now highlights are blown out. What can be the issue? If I place the mirror the other way up, it should duplicate the image, like I did the first time but now it seems fine with the exeption of the highlights... (I cleaned both...

Many thanks for the feedback. May I ask the those negs looks overdeveloped to you?

Hello everyone, last night I printed my first contact sheet. I printed it at grade 2, does it look to dark to evaluate shadow details? I can easily see in the negatives but not on the contact sheet, only if I put the paper though a light pad I can easily see shadows information. Should I lower...
