I forgot to add that I do use D76.
This has not been stored cold, so maybe I shouldn't even
waste my
time processing it. Is that what you'd say, if time's at
a premium?
I was trying something rather experimental in the
shooting, anyway,
so to get a true sense if the shooting conditions work I
should use a
film I know to be good - shouldn't I? (I saw this one
handy, in a
basket, and grabbed it rather than go in where the
grandbaby was
sleeping to get another film.)
Thanks, all!
If you found several rolls its worth testing one. If you
just want to play with it its also OK but I wouldn't use it
for anything important.
You can reduce the fog by adding some potassium bromide
or benzotriazole to the developer. This has the effect of
clearing the fog but also reduces the speed. Film that is
evenly fogged can be used without an anti-foggant by
increasing the exposure by a stop or more.
