    Re: HP5+ and Pyrocat HD in a Jobo CPP3

    Here is my process.

    Pyrocat HD 2:2:100 I mix the chemicals myself. I use 200ml for each sheet of film and I...

    Re: HP5+ and Pyrocat HD in a Jobo CPP3

    The CPA2 is the one I have and I run it at F. When I used to develop in tubes in a water bath my rotation speed was even slower than what the Jobo does so the OP at 50 rpm seems quite high.

    Re: HP5+ and Pyrocat HD in a Jobo CPP3

    Your time developing at that dilution is not right in my experience. I always use 2:2:100 with Pyrocat HD and I always use the slowest speed on my Jobo, 7 1/2 minutes should yield a negative with...

    Re: Whole Plate, 8x10

    1) If you are pouring 5x7 then 8x10 is not much different, something you'd pick up after a couple of plates.
    2) I've made some nice contact prints from glass negatives, it's easy if you have the...

    Re: Kodak price jump for 8x10 320TXP

    The special run of 5x7 TMY is more expensive than cutting 8x10 down, so Oren's point about Tri-X might be the best explanation. Special runs/cuts cost more.
