Response to Overly grainy negatives. Help. What happened?
from Pete Andrews (p.l.andrews@bham.ac.uk)
Was the film fresh?
HP5 was replaced by HP5plus some time ago, so
if it really is plain HP5, then the chances are it's out-of-date
stock. Stale or badly stored film can get excessively
grainy, especially fast films like HP5.
The other thing to check is
that it really is grain and not reticulation, caused by a drastic
change in temperature from, say, the developer to the stop bath, or
from fixer to wash water.
