[Bobkins]

Hi guys,

this is a samples

and please clarify

- I want to push film for 2 stops, will develop 2.25 times longer, do I need to fix film also 2.25 time longer?

- is agitation affects for contrast? than more you agitate the more contrasted images?

You won't need to extend the fixing time, just go with the recommended time for the dilution you are using.

I'd recommend against agitating like crazy, unless you want possible uneven development as a feature of the prints. If you want to increase the contrast extend the (assessed) development time instead.

I'm sure others will give further suggestions for you - like the results of the film, always wondered how they'd look and the subject suits it really well.

Lady Gray is ISO 400 out of the box.

Your number 3 shot of the pushed film belongs hanging in a gallery. I'll call it half-man. No, I'll call it three quarter man

The only reason you might need to fix it longer is this is a Kodak based film and difficult to fix compared to others.

Edit: no sorry, it's the Lady Grey that's Kodak.
