hello,
after searching and reading some older posts here and a couple of articles on pyro hd by sandy king, i am a little confused for the amount required for a jobo expert drum. for instance, in one article sandy recommends a minimum of 50ml per 4x5 sheet http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/PCat/PCat2/pcat2.html
and in another one he recommends 75ml per 4x5 sheet
http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Pyrocat/pyrocat.html
i just bought a 3010 drum and the instructions state that a minimum of 210ml must be used. based on the above examples, this means the least amount of sheets i can process are 3-4 sheets. is that correct?
i just started lf photography and i am interested in giving arista 100 a try and eventually also using the new kodak tmax400 with this combination (jobo 3010 expert drum on a beseler motor base).
for those that have tried this combination (arista and/or the new kodak), what are your dev times and methods of developing (presoak/wash/etc)?
and as a last question, why would one prefer to use the 1:1:100 solution instead of a 2:2:100 solution if one can significantly reduce the development time?
thanks for any help!
