Notes from 15th Jan 2005
[posted at 11:00 GMT]    

I am using Tetenal Emofin developer recently for pushing Fuji Neopan 400 and also to compensate developing on shots which were done with strong back light. I am very happy with results I am getting. One thing I noticed very soon was that this developer is much more aggressive chemical than anything I used before. After developing my first few rolls I destroy rubber I had on ground and have some mark on table and washing machine. I start using rubber hand gloves.

I developed today Kodak TMZ 3200 exposed at 1600 in Tetenal Emofin. Reason why I did it was that I know thats hots contains very strong back light and I like compensating effect of Emofin. I couldn't find any time anywhere so I used 4+4 minutes in constant agitation. I may do 5+5 next time. But let see how scanning ends up.

I am looking again on scan of Maco done with flash developed in Emofin. They look very good. Some shots contains three different light situations. Strong flash exposure, total dark parts not lit with any light a nd that window with direct Sun. All part have details in it, amazing.
