I have been using PMK using Gordon's Hutchings directions with 35 mm Tri-X and T-Max (100 and 400) for about two years. I have been very pleased with the results. Recently I decided to try HP5 Plus, both 35mm and 120 after reading some of the rave reviews here.(posted 8233 days ago)Couple of things puzzled me. I always rinse the film with a couple drops of Edwall LFN before developing. With the 35mm the rinse poured out clear but with the 120 it came out a darkish blue. I was not too perturbed by this since this also happens with the T-Max films. However since the 35 mm and 120 were both HP5-Plus, why should itone rinse come out darkish and the outher clear.
The 35mm turned out well but the 120 negs were very thin. Again same film. I have not printed either fromats yet so can't say anything about print results. Just looking at the negatives both did have fair amout of stain.
