Re: [APML] Another tech pan Q: (developing, etc.)

Brian,

      Probably not -- with fixer.  Even with a "rapid" fixer, one would
have to really over-fix the film to reduce the negative density very
much.

      The same is not true with developers.  I have found that if you 
use a developer -- temperature combination that reduces the 
development time below 4 or 5 minutes for small tank development,
you may end up with uneven development.  This is a disastrous
result, basically ruining the negatives.  When a developer/film
combination requires a development time less than 5 minutes, I 
usually develop at a lower temperature in order to extend the time.

Mike.
