My experience seems almost the opposite of yours. The staining gave me superb highlight rendering; and long tonal scale. I always tested and used the Zone System; with any and all developers; at least N-2, N-1, N, N+1 and N+2; including with my roll films. The last wedding I photographed on film was done with two M6s and an X-Pan; and the films were all processed in Pyro; and printed on silver double weight paper; mounted and bound in 3 ?oriental? style albums. If I have any of the notebooks from those days; they?ve been in storage for a decade. My memory won?t do well on formulations, times or temperatures, without those notebooks Though I DO remember marveling over the tonality and ?edge? of those stained negatives. fond regards, George http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.imagist.com http://www.linkedin.com/imagist
