> my times always so much shorter(posted 8843 days ago)OK..for some reason you're getting lots of printing contrast...which is fine if that's what you want.
However, when you reduce development in order to get low-contrast negs, you also reduce the film's EI, and if you don't compensate for that you end up having to crank up the magenta....and then develop the film even less, causing more underexposure...
