What happens is that you get a thinner negative (and loss of shadow detail, of course, unless you compensate for that ... but then you're back to 400 instead of 800). The longer development, according to Kodak, results in a negative that is inferior to one that is one stop underexposed and making adjustments in contrast at the time of printing. I think Xtol is the only developer for which they published longer times for underexposing one stop. All the other developers have the same times for 400-800 (according to Kodak). I've never tried it since there is Neopan 1600 :-) Daniel On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 2:32 PM, H.
