My PC-512 Borax Developer

[John Wiegerink]

Can I ask: At what size of print might the less grain of PC-512 be evident in say a 35mm neg and then a 645 neg? To my eyes( possibly less discerning?) the FX1 full size scan looks better in the sense of having more detail than the PC-512 one

Thanks

I don't know if I see more detail in the FX1 print, but I do seem to see more shadow detail and the slightly lighter sky. I certainly like the sky rendering with PC-512. I shoot nearly 100% medium format so grain from either one is fine with me.

Thanks, yes that's what I see as well so for me it's a question of what size of print in 35mm does the lesser graín of PC-512 become an advantage as I do shoot as much 35mm as 120

In 35mm that level of grain different will be apparent at 5x7 I think, but certainly by 8x10

Thanks for what is a straight and unequivocal answer.

There is no such thing as pure ethanol, either....

Thanks!
