Response to "Low contrast" developer suggestions?

Which developer are you using? It is probably correct that you develop too long. The times stated by the manufacturers most often lead to too contrasty negs. Cutting down is a good idea. If you are not already using a compensating developer it is a good idea to change to one. Rodinal is probably not what you are looking for if you are shooting ISO 400 speed film in 35mmm. It is too grainy. If you should consider ISO 100 film or lower I would highly recommend changing to Rodinal though, or even better to Calbe R09.
