Response to Revised development times for Kodak films at new plant

No...I figure when the new stuff comes out, we'll have to run some tests and figure out new times...or maybe we won't...I don't see a reason to fuss about it a whole lot though. We run TMAX RS in a tank and have our own set of times for films, they hardly ever match up to what the recommended times are....if you ran control strips for b&w, the actual Kodak strip is TMY. As far as RS goes, it likes to run at 75 degrees...if the times dip under 5 minutes, there are ways to slow the developer down ....so I'm not worried about this really.... just about everyone is going to have their own developing times based off their technique...those published times are just good starting points....when we get the new film, I plan on just shooting it like I always have and run some tests. But 1 minute less time in b&w is nothing....if it were E6 that would be a stinker, but b&w?? Why worry... But, to each their own....
