Out of frustration with lack of materials that I had been using as a hobbiest for years I shelved the med. format equipment and pulled out the big stuff. I figured that I might as well start mixing my own chem. as well, and became intriged with Pyro. I settled on Berrger bfp 200, 510 pyro and fixed in f-24 with water wash between, all at 66 degrees. I'm shooting this film at 200, and I don't have a desiometer.
Two questions really; I have settled on a dev. time of 11 min. but negs seem a little thin, but print well. Anyone have any experience with this combo?
Secondly, some of the sheets have tiny "pin holes" in the emulsion, Is this a bad box of film or could the fixer and its temp be causing the problem?
Thanks from a newbie
