I came across my old Weston Master 111 meter this morning and comparing it to my recently calibrated (at Quality Light Metric) Luna Pro & Luna Pro SBC was delighted to find that it is still right on the money. While looking thru the instruction manual I came across this sage piece of advice regarding exposing and developing B&W film. Although written almost 60 yrs ago it is still relevant today and so I 'll take a moment to pass it on. Follow the link and read the 3 & 4th paragraph under Classification of scenes.

This is something that was routinely taught back in the day but I rarely see it referred to any longer. Hope it is a good reminder or helps clear up some questions for those new to developing their own B&W film.
