I did the test again, exposing a white card to Zone VIII and developing it for 7 1/2 minutes
I placed the FB+Fog frame under the densitometer and zero it out.
My Zone VIII patched Read 1.08

I haven't printed the patch yet mainly because I feel the reading is still too low.

The leader leader which has obviously been exposed to daylight measures 2.12

Would you increase the dev time to see if I can get more density in the Z VIII patch
