Hi,

I'm testing the Span 200 Rolleifilm. According to the spec, RLS developer should render very fine grain and superb tones.

Again according spec, the film should be one stop lower. After one test film with grey card, I found One stop is not correct, the exposure should be 2 stops more. (50 iso instead of 200)

But also at 50 iso, the RLS at 24°C, 12' and a ritme of 30" deliver negatives with a max density of 0.7-0.8 at zone IX! Shadows get compressed......

Before I quit working with the RLS developer and go with the RHS: Is there somebody with other or similar experiences?

Kind regards

Ivo
