The storyline:

01/31/05

• Microdol-X 1:3 for 12 Minutes, ISO 50 at .12 above FB+F. Although Zone VIII comes out at .98 density. Will be retesting time for 15 min. ISO 64 with the increase of development time, Zone I's density will more than likely hit ISO 64 or so. Will retest for ISO 64 and 80 and more time!

02/01/05

• I increased the development time to 15 minutes where Zone VIII still fell at a density of 1.04. I said hell with it and retested it for 20 minutes. I thought I would be way over, but to my surprise, it came out with a density of 1.20! Still short, but only by 0.05. That's good enough for me! I'm only aiming for 1.25 to 1.30. Lets conclude this at 22 Minutes and be done with it! Lovely.

02/15/05

• I intended on doing an N+1 on this negative, so I tried to develop it for 25 minutes. It turns out that it gave me a perfect density of N, rather. Density of .11 for Zone I and 1.30 for Zone VIII. I'll cut the normal time down to 24.5 and call it a day! Hopefully this should be the final result. How can it not be???
