Arista EDU Ultra 100 (120) Rodinal Development Time Thoughts?

[charjohncarter]

timor, if you are talking to me, I use Tmax100 which I down rate too. But although I have never used Ilford's or Fujifilm's 100 speed films I'm sure they are excellent. Or if you don't mind the look you get with Arista EDU ultra 100 use it.

Thank's. Yes, it was a question for you. Tmax 100. Also in HC 110 ?

I would rate it the same, and as I've said I use 32. Also, If you look at the H-D curve given by FOMA look at the straight portion, this to me is steep which means that the middle and shadow tones will be compressed and the shadows will be gone. On the same curve you will see at least one of the longer development curves show that a shoulder is never really achieved. It just goes straight up. This means that it is easy to blow the highlights with development so you have to tailor your development to try to get a shoulder (if highlights are blown out, all white or too white, lower your development time). Which translates into English as highlights that you can see separated tones.

Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Sorry, I use both Rodinal and HC-110h. For me HC-110h has a softer look while Rodinal has a edgy look. So I use each depending on how I feel. Sometimes I mix them.

Sorry.

Hi. Sorry about what ? I can say: sorry man for asking so many questions, cause it looks like you have a whole lot more experience then me.
For Tmax 100 I am mostly using Beutler's developer. Maybe should I try Rodinal.
