My 120 roll came back from processing yesterday. All 15 came out and I am very pleased with the results - some more than others naturally. The results may be a little 'soft' but not unduly so and I...

Michael, I think you are right and I am hoping you are. I think I will leave it in the tank a bit longer when developing it might increase the contrast as well as a bonus.

It is difficult to find a home for this thread as could equally well fit in three or four subjects. So here we go under the general heading.
