Snow scene
There is another problem in this image which may or may not be apparent in the print and that is directly above each of the fence posts there is a increase of negative contrast. This film was developed in a JOBO rotary I wonder if this has any bearing on this problem.

Ver4y nice prints John, I do like the spanners, but you have done a great job printing, Like Terry, it is very rare that I print lower than 2, and I always use a condenser enlarger, highest for me is g3, mostly 2 or 21/2, as you say, this MG5 is indeed a very good paper indeed

Contrast
As I find it easier to print using separate filters rather dialling in the colour I think I may continue to use the M60. than I think I may have to modify my processing. I am thinking of reducing the ISO by 1/3rd and decreasing the developing times which should give me a softer image but with full detail in the shadows. I may be slightly over-developing anyway.
This never happens with colour. Last edited by John King; 5th January 2021 at 05:07 PM. |

Terry's comments on your prints cover what I was going to write.
Terry you need to stop reading my mind I take it you are using the new filtration suggestions for MG5 have you tried using MG4 settings. there is a difference in the contrast I think the MG4 is slightly softer.

The replies I got on FADU suggested that in theory at least my conclusion was correct but I cannot recall anyone confirming from experience whether this is now the right increase in exposure or at least close to the right increase So has anyone who is using the under/over the lens Ilford filter tried a grade above grade 3 on the new MG5 paper and if so what was their experience of how much extra exposure this requires? Thanks Mike |

Filtration Values
These are the same as the old ones. On the leaflet in each box/packet the values are the same.
