I find that processing at "room temperature" setting of 74 degrees works very well. I have heard it is tempermental to temperature changes, but if you follow the instructions on the packaging & don't try "experimenting", it should work just fine. The 11x14 enlargements look very good to me. I am now trying Tech Pan per the messages of others over the last couple of weeks.

I find humor in the fact that so many responded privately. It's OK to discuss cars,single malt,and Ted's drawers on the list, but for film you mail me privately? The results so far seem to run as follows: T-Max 400 - Too finicky,HP-5- no one stood up for. The winners seem to be Delta 400 and good old Tri-x. Some folks like the Fuji product but I need something to standardize on (and can buy easily). I do wish I could get Ted to weigh in on this and Eric now that he's back. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
