Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Jim Hemenway Enviado el: martes, 24 de julio de 2007 3:25 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: [Leica] D-76 1:2 Mark: I tried 1:2 last summer with some Konica infrared film and what I got were blotchy images: <http://www.hemenway.com/FortWarren-07072006/> I'm going out to the island again on Wednesday to try again, but I won't use D-76 1:2. But I'll try it in the next few weeks with some Tri-X or Plus-X... I'll think about adding a Vitamin C tab to it as well.
