> highlight rolloff in addition to the increasing stain(posted 8170 days ago)To clarify; I got highlight rolloff in both silver and stain density; it was the combination that caused too-low highlight contrast. Since it was a pretty abrupt rolloff it may have been more a case of developer death (pyro in a Jobo) than anything else. Anyway, I filed away the results for future reference, such as when I get lured into platinum etc.
What I'd like to achieve is a broad shoulder rather than abrupt flattening; Delta 3200 and Delta 400 come closer to this than anything else I've tried. Reading between the lines of Ilford's promos etc leads me to think that Ilford will tend this way with future film versions.
