At the University of Missouri, I used to shoot football Me too normally reduce develope time. I've found suberb results with Ultrafin Plus (Tetenal). The recommended time is 7.5 but I usually develope at 6. The speed for the first two rolls, developed in 500ml, is ISO400, but I've found that after you should also pull to 320 or 200 ISO. The details in the shadow are wonderful. Francesco -------------------------------------------------------------------- Francesco Ricci, IRST, Loc.
