Response to developing

chris if you wanted to be extremly anal you could time how long it takes to pour out the chemistry and use that time as to when to start pouring out the developer.will it effect the film? yes. how much? probably not that much you would have to have a pretty critical eye to tell the difference between 6 min and 6 min 30 sec. what i do is pre soak the film for 2 min in water then process as usual i would start pouring the dev out at 6 min knowing that it would take about 20 sec to pour out. that is time enough to adjust for the fact that it took the developer 20 sec to displace the water presoak in the emulsion. a pre soak also prevents uneven developing.-J
