Response to 35mm Ortho/Litho film in potrraiture & figure studies?

from Erin C. (ericon_22@hotmail.com)
Hi,

I have used lith film and had some good results. However, there isn't much exposure latitude with it. I suggest you bracket it. I tried 3x unsuccessfully ....on my 4th try I finally got lucky. Shot in moderate sunlight with slower shutter speeds, i.e. 30, 60, etc.

As for developement, you would develop it in AB developer, I believe for 2 1/2 or 3 mins each. Printing is a snap becuz it's just b&w - no grays to concern yourself with and you can enlargement it to any size w/o noticable grain - in fact, I don't think it has any grain at all.

I liked it very much but never thought of doing figure studies using it. Good luck with it. It will definitely be educational. :)
