Response to Delta 400, Plus-X and FP-4 Plus in PMK

from Sergio Ortega (s.ortega@worldnet.att.net)
Jim,

I've developed all four films mentioned, as well as others, in PMK. Of the four films I like FP4+ the best, Plus-x next, then Tri-x and the Delta films the least. BTW, of all the films I've tried with PMK the Kodak T-max films are the least satisfactory.

I would urge you to try exposing the FP4+ negatives at a lower EI. As with Plus-x, I rate FP4+ at either 64 or 80, depending on the meter/camera being used, and also develop it (120 roll film and 35mm) for 10:00 at 68 degrees. The additional exposure really supports the low value densities.

Good luck, Sergio.
