I've got some Emofin two-bath dev. which I hope will:
give more even development to 4"x5",=20
show some compensating effect with edge sharpness,=20
reduce the light fall-off from centre to edge of negative (SA 65mm) =
without resorting to a centre filter.
Does anyone have experience using this or similar product?
Any advice on the following?:
1. Would continuous rotary agitation (Jobo tank) interfere unfavourably =
with the characteristic action of the developer?
2. Would ccontinuous agitation reduce, or eliminate, the compensating =
effect and contour sharpness (as it might with single bath)?
3. I normally pre-soak for 5 mins. Would this still be okay or would the =
emulsion then not absorb sufficient of the first bath?
Any other advice?
