Hi
I was wondering if anyone else has tried Tektol as a film developer?
I have been playing with Arista Edu 100 in a 2x3 press camera and gave it a try.
The negative from the first try looked to be promising with great tones and detail, but it was a bit dense. Other tests have came out very thin.
1- .5 to 14.5 oz for 10 minutes - not bad but dense - metered at EI 50
2- .5 to 14.5 oz for 5 minutes - very thin - metered at EI 100
3- .5 to 31.5 oz for 10 minutes - very thin - also 3 and 4 at EI 100
4- .5 to 31.5 oz for 20 minutes - quite thin and I broke my aquarium heater by pouring cold water on it, so I actually processed for 26 minutes at an average temp of 63 F.
