Another book plug. Get a copy of Fred Picker's "Zone VI Workshop" if you are into testing for the optimum results in B&W prints. Then find a copy of his book "The Fine Print". Ignore the plugs for his products, because he is out of the mail order business. Calumet handles the line now. The Zone VI enlager is teh BEST for B&W work!(posted 8466 days ago)It seems rather pedantic but the guy is right and if you follow his instructions, you will have a lot of trouble making a bad negative.
He swears by HC110 & Tri X but that was written 20 yrs ago.
Try the T Max or Delta films in T Max dev or the new Ilford DDX(I think) soup.
Cheers
