Response to Revised development times for Kodak films at new plant

from dk thompson (kthompson@moh.dcr.state.nc.us)
That's 25% for D76 1:1...according to you. A change of one minute is not much to me in regards to TMAX RS. Even if it means my "normal" time drops to 6 minutes now. I was always shaving 10% off all published Kodak times for TMAX films in general. They ran hot for me. I actually run other people's film--I work in an in-house lab--at the Kodak CI's and times. How do I know how they shot the film? The film prints okay, but I prefer my TMX at -10%. The bona-fide Kodak control strip for b&w monitoring though? It's TMY.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over changes to the emulsion or tonality...it's a done deal. It's their product, they can do with it as they wish...maybe it will be better y'know? They changed the film base for Ektachrome sheet films, and I haven't heard any worries about that online....that was for the best, now Fuji should follow suit. Ektachrome 100S, SW etc. in sheets is on an ESTAR base now. That's great news....

my opinions as always.
