There were problems with exposure at first, but I was able to nail down that quicker than I could the development thing. First I figured out how to stop over-exposing; then I had to figure out how to stop under-developing. Fortunately now both problems are solved, and I have two perfect negatives made with HP5+. Still, I don't think that film will work in low contrast situations, so I am switching to TriX, so more testing will be in order. Maybe it won't take so long to arrive at a solution this time. --shannon >
