juke Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi <p>I took several rolls of delta 100 and accidentally underexposed one roll by one step (using ISO 200). <p>I develop my delta 100 usually in Pyrocat-HD and now I am asking guidelines of how much should I extend the developing time to get normal density for negatives exposed as ISO 200? <p> Thanks, Jukka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 If this happened to me, I believe I would be exploring other developers for this particular roll. I use PyroCat variations as a primary developer but have never gotten adequate shadow detail at much over 1/2 box speed, in general. Are the pictures important? What type of lighting is involved (high or low contrast)? Perhaps someone can add some info on push information with PyroCat but I'm certain it's going to involve the loss of shadow detail. Keep us posted on what you end up doing and how things work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_stockdale2 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I would try Microphen or DDX. My experience with Pyrocat-HD is the same as Craig's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juke Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 These pictures are taken at streets during concert held nearby, the light was quite flat because of late evening.<P>One thing that comes to my mind is to use DiXactol as two bath developer. But I havent tested it for Delta 100.<p>The slight loss of shadow details is acceptable, the main goal is to get printable negatives by raising average density of negatives.
