HP5+5x4/PMK(EDTA) BTZS

[kev curry]

Anyone have developing times and film speed data @ N /N+/ N- to share for this combination in BTZS tubes.

Just to get me going for now.

Help appreciated:)

cheers

I will venture to the darkroom now Kev - If I have the EzpoDev file is that what you need?

If not I will try to give you those strange N number things :)

Hi Steve just looking for 'those strange N number things' with speed changes at the various development times if you have them:)

You really should get the ExpoDev :)

Temp 21C
Dilution 1/2/80

N-2 125 iso 5:45

N-1 160 iso 6:45

N 250 iso 9:15

N+1 500 iso 14:45


if the times are too long or short for you adjust all times by the same percentage and you will have a meaningful set of numbers.

Excellent Steve thanks for that. I'll keep you posted.

My tests for hp5 and pmk, using a densitometer, gave me a 6.5 min. time for N development (no edta). That's quite a difference from many of the published numbers. There are variables in the pH or purity of the water, the chemistry, agitation methods. I wouldn't rely on someone else's number if quality was the desired result.
There are some easy and reliable testing methods that will really tell you what you need to know.

Thanks JY. I'm well aware of the many variables. I'm just after some numbers for a test drive in BTZS tubes:)
