D76, btzs tubes, and zone system

[coops]

If you have an extra $50, do the film test from The View Camera Store. Fred will send you 5 sheets of TMAX 100 (or any other film you want) that is pre-exposed to a step tablet. You develop for 4, 5.6, 8, 11, and 16 minutes with your developer and temp.

Fred is a really helpful guy. I paid the $50 and apparently the results were not as he expected, and sent me another sheet of film to develop over 4 mins. And then charged me another $50. Film testing can be expensive.
I must say though, as a beginner, I do like the tubes I purchased from him. I get very consistent results.

And then charged me another $50.

That sounds a bit rotten to me.
