Seriously, I'm no development expert, so I'm hoping I >can learn something here. You mentioned that so many normal-EI negs were excessively contrasty and the ones that printed the best were those exposed at a higher EI. If I understand it correctly, stand development should _limit_ contrast; it should probably be lower than normally-developed negs exposed to the same scene (or SBR). I've had the urge to experiment with stand development but haven't gotten around to it. John Hicks jbh@magicnet.net
