[pure-silver] Re: 3200 Concert Film

[de-lurking] I've had many problems with X-TOL, including the one you describe... It's one of the reasons I came back to D76 and other "classical" developpers...


All the best from the south of France!

If you aren't experienced with shooting under these conditions, then the likelihood is that your film is just underexposed. Many people produce very thin negs when they first shoot a concert, so there is no reason to suppose that your Xtol isn't working. If the edge numbers aren't visible, then the development is certainly the problem, but otherwise its just your light meter being fooled by the brighter areas on the stage.

I'll know for sure when the colour negs come back. If they are thin, then it was a metering problem.

But when I say thin, I don't mean a little thin, I mean thin to the point where you have to literally strain your eyes to see any semblance of an image. If each frame had a bright light in it, then I could see where the meter was fooled. I metered in Matrix using an F5..

    The frame numbers are visible, but barely.
