Hi !
I wonder if you can bleach the negs using first part of Farmer's reducer, and
re-develop for less time this second time.
I had good results doing the opposite, bleaching very weak negs. and
re-developing into PMK to add density with the stain. The negs changed from
totally unprintable to acceptable. So as you said theywere overdevelopped first
time, bleaching and doing it again may provide good results.
Have a nice day !
