Subject: [Leica] B&W film development question
From: Harrison McClary <harrison@mcclary.net>

I am trying to calibrate my film development/exposure with my lab.  I 
had the idea of shooting a Grey card, bracketing in 1/2 stop 
increments up to two stops over and down to two stops under then 
taking a densitomiter reading to see which exposure gives me a mid 
level density.

This seems like a good idea, but what should the densitomiter reading be?

Is there something wrong with my logic in doing this?

I am shooting Ilford Delta 400 and 100.

Thanks for any help/advice.
