The film/developer combo is an important choice that shouldn't be ignored. Eric >> Actually, I would LOVE to have a compilation of film/developer combo results from the LUG (as well as other places too). Testings one's specific film/meter/development procedure is an important task, but having guidelines that wiser and more wizened members of the list have sweat XTOL and d-76 over can give a novice a generalized testing roadmap.
