ABOUT THIS VIDEO

I've had some interesting comments and messages recently about developer dilutions
so I thought I would try something I've never done and that's shoot a roll of film
and see the differences between Stock, 1+3, 1+2 and 1+1 with Kodak XTOL.

TIMES WERE
Stock - 8.5m
1:1 - 12m
1:2 - 15.5m
1:3 - 18m

Each tank had at least 400ml of developer.

I have read that higher dilution increases sharpness, or I should say acutance, and also the grain of the image
but I have always stayed away from higher dilutions in fear of introducing unwanted grain.
After these results I wouldn't mind trying higher dilutions with XTOL, maybe even 1+4
to save developer. I go through a lot!

Anyway, don't take my word for it, try it for yourselves and let us all know how you get on.

Happy Halloween!
