wilhelm Posted February 15, 2000 Share Posted February 15, 2000 Is there any consensus of which current films (sheet, roll, and 35mm) are best matched to Pyro development? Also, worst matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_hughes2 Posted February 15, 2000 Share Posted February 15, 2000 I use the Ilford films--Pan-F, Delta 100 & 400--with PMK and get superb results. But don't look for the finest grain with Pyro. <p> In general, I would stay away from the T-Max films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed b. Posted February 19, 2000 Share Posted February 19, 2000 Actually, if you have a dull scene that needs some snap, T-Max 400 in PMK is hard to beat, particularly in medium format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_karon Posted February 25, 2000 Share Posted February 25, 2000 In addition to Delta 400 I've just started playing with HP5+ which seems to stain really well. Haven't decided about which film I prefer yet. <p> My tests tell me that both these films should be exposed at EI 200-250. This seems slower than most others are finding and I can't explain why. It may be our lousy Southern California water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn_stupidpost Posted February 26, 2000 Share Posted February 26, 2000 I agree Ed. TMY gets a bad rap sometimes, but with PMK I prefer it to D400 and TXP...it's the closest I have to a 'standard' film in MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d._scott_story Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Kodak's Plus-x and PMK produces a wonderful palette of soft tones, and is particularly useful when doing portraits with higher light contrasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kip_babington Posted March 13, 2000 Share Posted March 13, 2000 There's obviously not a consensus, but my 2 cents are - Delta 400 at 250, and Delta 100 at 64. In my Paterson tanks and with my water, starting times are 10 minutes at 70F for both films in 35mm, which is handy when I have rolls of each to develop at the same time. YMMV. <p> Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_bau Posted April 6, 2000 Share Posted April 6, 2000 Although I adore TX120 it doesn't seem to get along with PMK very well at all :-( FP4+ (120) is my all time favourite in PMK. <p> Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
