I'm reviewing the data sheet for Kodak's "new" Plus-X (125PX) and comparing the mfgr's suggested dev times with the time-contrast index curves, it seems like regardless of what developer I choose, the time recommended by E-K is for contrast index of 0.5....
Does this seem odd to anybody? I always thought dev times should be long enough to give a CI of around 0.7. Developing for CI=0.7 would require significantly different dev time in most cases. Why would they do this? Are they making some assumptions about how the negs will be printed? I am really perplexed.
