Hello all,
In a recent post about ULF film, I stated that I am going to explore switching f rom TXT to HP5 for my banquet cameras. In doing this, I am going to have to add ress the relatively high B+F levels that this film generates when it is 'pushed' .
In my case, the film will almost always be 'pushed', because I am shooting to us e with platinum printing, with a target DR of 1.6 or there about.
I have seen a mention of the use of BENZOTRIAZOLE as a way to help reduce the fo g level from this film. Does anyone have any advice on whether this wil work, a nd how it's done?
I have been using D-76 for my developer, but I also may be forced to change to a pyro or pyrocat developer as part of this film change. Generally, the concensu s on the street is that HP5+ shows it's best for platinum in a staining develope r.
While I intend to do some testing to determine what my own path to photographic 'nirvana' is, I thought I would elicit comments from the gallery.
Thanks to everyone,
---Michael
