    APHS half tone development in PMK

    I am looking for some development times in PMK. Some aspect of continuous tone would be nice. I have no experience with this film but figured I would try it as it is 1/4 the cost of TXP and ilford. Most of my subject matter is architectural and I am comfortable with stand techniques.

    I will do my own tests but would like some ideas of where to start.


    Thank you

    Tim

    Develop it by inspection using a red safelight.
    To begin, when the highlights appear on teh reverse side of the film, stop develpment. Finish processing and print this film to see if it is what you want. If not, increase or decrease development until it suits you. Times will be short when compared to long scale films, and you may find more dilution suits you better.

    I use LC-1 or LC-2 most of the time with lith film. Jim Galli uses a re-formulation of Rodinal. He is always willing to share his information.
