Here, Here!

We get real nit picky about our camera's performance insisting on a 1000ths of an inch tolerance and debate lenses long and hard, but then we develop by the seat of our pants. Eh what's a few degrees among friends? Don't sweat it, I'll pull it short or let it lie a few extra seconds. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades - its only B&W!

Fancy controls! Was it true that early Kodachrome development was timed by classical music scores? If so, I am going to find the perfect temperature to time D-76 1:1 development using Procol Harum's "Simple Sister"

Hi Doug,

Developer temp is critical of course and is manageable without fancy
controls, just as it is by hand. The rest can be handled the same way
you deal with it when you develop by hand.

It is not *as* critical as with some color processes, no doubt, but it is still critical. I find very noticeable variances in development from even being a few degrees off. I regulated my hand developing by using a water bath that I adjusted to just the temperature I needed. Point being, I don't
think you could do consistent B&W development without some kind of
temperature regulation, and consistency is the name of the game IMO for a
good workflow.

Best Regards,

Austin
