Response to The Sharpest / Finest Grained Film in 220 Format?

I found PanX to be kind'a flat. It's amazing what you can do with PlusX. I found a big key was in adjutation. Adjutating as little as possible. You'll have to explose the tollerance. If you adjutate too little you get poor results, but if you get right up to that line you get very fine grain and good contrast. Maintaining .25 - .5 of 68 degrees is important also. Understand, it has been a while, I used D-76, but competed for jobs with the students comming out of "Brooks Institute" in Santa Barbara. Blew their shorts off with this fomula, using an FTN/105 2.5 printing 12x14 illford poly with no filters, you couldn't see the grain.
