Response to what happens with REALLY long dev't times?

from Ed Buffaloe (edbuffaloe@unblinkingeye.com)
Shawn: I can't help but think that you will be defeating your own purpose if you use a blue filter to reduce contrast and then overdevelop to increase it. Blue filtration has never given me very pleasing results--all I get is loss of detail and general image degradation. I'd save the overdevelopment technique for genuinely low- contrast scenes.

I see no reason why the SLIMT (I agree it's an unfortunate designation--I prefer latent image bleaching) should not work with medium format films.

But now I'm curious--exactly what "look" are you seeking?
