I read with great interest the article in View Camera mag 2 months ago about the theory and results from using so-called stand development in certain lighting situations, and have studied John Sexton's similar use of Tmax developer and Tmax film in very high-contrast situations. I assume other developer/film combinations may also be used in this way with success. Is there a chance that any of you out there have had success using good ole (but more dilute than 1:1) D-76 with HP5 or Bergger films? I'm just looking for some data (dilutions, dev. times, agitation patterns) to use as a starting point so I can do some personal testing. And it would be nice to stick with my favorite films and keep the chemicals in the DR as simple as possible.
Thanks.
