I shot a test roll of VP at EI 64 and developed in PMK for 8 minutes at 80 degrees. I noticed that the film has a dye in it the color of pinacryptol green, which is a desensitizing agent. The stain is a wonderful green, which may be because of the dye. These negatives appear overexposed and overdeveloped. I will try an EI of 125 next, and probably reduce development by a minute. I'm leaving soon for Utah and Arizona and was thinking I might try VP out there. I'll also be shooting HP-5+ (EI 200), T-Max 400 (EI 400), and Delta 3200 (EI 800). If anyone else has tried VP in PMK, I would like to know your EI and development times.(posted 8873 days ago)
