Notes from 9th Oct 2002
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

After drying today morning I looked at negatives and they nicely developed. They a bit denser than I am used to from XTOL. I will see if there will be any problems when scanning today evening.
I did 1:15 30ml+450ml AM74:H2O and for 9:36 at 20C. First 30sec constant agitation the every 30 sec 2 reverse agitation in 5 sec and last around 86 sec no agitation. I am always starting timer after tank is filled and starting pouring developer out when it is about 10sec to time up. Yesterday I started with 21C as it was quite called temperature drops to 20.2C after 3 min and was at 20 after 4min. Maybe I should shorter a time bit to do not make them so dense, but let's first scan it to see if it is a problem for scanner.
Very interesting is that background is almost totally transparent! Much more than when used with XTOL! After fixer it do not looks like that but after using Kodak Clearing agent and 5 min water clean it came out almost totally transparent. About scans later in the evening.
