Hi Carl, John, David...(posted 8114 days ago)Thanks so much for answering my question about the 20x24 film. I've processed a couple of these now, and the blue (maybe bluish/green?) tends to mostly wash off in the first tray of water--before going in developer. And you're right--hasn't caused any problem. I think I'm noticing a lot more--with everything now-- with this big film.
By the way, to ensure I'm getting even development, fixing, etc., I am agitating the trays quite a bit. Is that not so necessary? I've also found that a longer development time seems to work better. Is this what you are saying, Carl? Actually, my very best negative so far occurred when I hit my timer in the darkroom, but it never went off. After a while, it seemed like a long time, so I finally took it out. I think I hit the wrong button on the timer (fumbling around in the dark). Anyway, that particular negative turned out really well. I'm guessing it was over the recommended time. I'm moving on to a bigger space for the next ones, so that should make things a little easier.
Incredible working with this film--I love it!
Thanks again, --Diana
