Hi Friends,

This is my first Zebra Dry Plate taken with the Goerz Dogmar 180mm/4.5, wide open. Contrast is very hard (need solution), Resolution is OK for Portraits.

What did you develop the plate in? In my experience, HC-110, for example, produced that hard contrast you're seeing. After some experimentation, I finally arrived at 510-Pyro 1:300 for about 7-8 mins, tray development. Occasionally, I'll go a touch longer but I've never gone shorter.

HC-110 :smile: thanks for the hint
