David, Gabe may have a legitimate problem, but he did not ask a legitimate question.(posted 8271 days ago)What we don't know is: has he ever developed any HP5 film with acceptable grain? Has he ever seen someone else's HP5 negative with acceptable grain? Has he compared the grain of HP5 to other films. Does he know that HP5 is one of the grainiest films around?
What developer did he use? What other chemicals did he use? What temperature did he develop at?
BTW, yesterday I sent Gabe a personal email with a recommendation to solve his "grain" problem, which is lot more than the most of you have done, because I don't think most of you actually give a damn about Gabe or his problem, you just want to wallow in your self- righteous notions about civility.
