Response to Emofin problems

>negative looked good...had very high density< looks like a too-much- contrast syndrom. The negative may look good on the light table, but has blocked highlights. Maybe you should have a shorter development time. If I remember right, Emofin is an old ( from the fifties?) fine grain developer. In older days, when getting more speed from BW films was essential, the manufactures gave much stronger concepts for developing comparing to praxis of today. The fix and hypo cannot cause the problem you described, unless your negative is not strongly allover fogged.Make a try with a little more exposure, and, I would guess, a development time that is 1/3 shorter.
