A Dream Combo?

 open

Reading about different film/developer combinations, I came across a post on Flicker discussion where Philip Leser mentioned that he really liked Neopan 400 in Diafine. He made extensive tests with several films in Diafine, including plotting characteristic curves. He came with this curve for Neopan 400 in Diafine:

This is very very good. So I tried and indeed, Neopan 400 in Diafine creates great negatives. Grain is moderate. Much marger than Acros, of course, but invisible on a 12×16" print from medium format.

I wonder if I need anything else for my RZ67, really.

    Hi, I discover your superb blog. A huge resource !
    I am a newbie in analog photography and film development. I use the 6×6 format.
    I was wondering, what does 3+3mn means in your diagram, pls ?

    You can email me if you want.

    Many thanks and I look forward reading your news,

    Hi Ivan

    Thanks for your appreciation.

    3+3mn means 3 minutes in each bath. Diafine is a two-bath developer. 3 minutes in each bath is the standard Diafine procedure.
