Hi all,
I will try to make this short and concise.
I have been testing Arista edu 4x5 for the last 2-3 days with diafine.
I followed Sandy Kings article in his great VC article. I then followed the box instructions.
Using 8x10 tray development.
Used prewash on some and no prewash on others
Also, tried different agitation schemes.
(Sandy Kings and the box recommendations)
Tried very slight agitation all the way to my last test of 3min constant agitation.
Temp at 72deg
No rinse btw A & B
H2O stop
Normal fix
Problem is:
Mottled patterns in sky/water areas of neg.
I am guessing for sure agitation problems.
Really do not know how to approach it next
Of doesnt show up in vegatation type areas/trees etc.
The neg looks great in busy areas. Scans great which is my workflow, then to digital ouput.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
