Response to film processing

Years ago, when I little money and what not, I went to Walmart and got a clothes hanger, the one with the clear front, zipper and hangers that you use to store clothes in, you know... a garment bag. I then pooke a few smalls in the bottom and mounted a small hair dryer in the top. Running a few strings tightly across the top with cloths pins worked great to hold film. After your done with it... just fold it up and put it on the shelf! I always had spotless film but instead of using Photoflo, I used LFN. It comes in a small dropper bottle and all you need is a few drops. As far as better shadow detail, I would meter for the shadows and develop for the highlights... doing tests produced great images by pulling the film 15%-20%... If you want higher acutance (read sharpness) use a developer like Diafine or FX1, yes I know... more testing but the acutance will be more favorable.
