  1. I have a dilemma which I find interesting to say the least. This past winter I purchased the Heiland Splitgrade controller along with the comfort accessory for use with my Leitz V35 Enlarger. After the initial set up I was getting very good prints with the system. I was shooting Ilford Delta 100 professional film, developing in Xtol: 1+3, 20º C, 14 and 1/2 min and getting excellent negatives and excellent prints using Ilford Multigrade IV fiber based glossy paper using the Splitgrade system. As most dark room enthusiasts know I’m sure, this paper has now gone out of production and has been replaced by By Ilford’s new fiber based “Classic”. After some trial and error testing I have discovered that if I give the new paper 0.8 the exposure which I gave the old Ilford paper I get similarly good results. Now the problem: Recently I have been shooting Kodak 400TX professional, rated ASA 200 which I have developed by the “stand development” method: Rodinol 1 +100 (yes I still have some) 20º C for one hour with two gentle turns of the tank at 30 min. I rinse the film a few time to stop the development and then fix as usual with Ilford Rapid fixer 1+4 for five minutes (same as the Ilford Delta 100.) These negatives look great to the naked eye. I see lots of detail and they look like they have good contrast. They look as good or better to me than the Ilford Delta 100 negatives. But when read by the Splitgrade System they read out with very little contrast. The Splitgrade System will read these negatives typically with a recommendation of grade 0.3 or some times even grad 0.0. If printed this way they are very low contrast and flat looking as one would anticipate. I have tested one of my Ilford negatives and gotten a good print then immediately done a 400TX negative and gotten “flat” low contrast prints. If I measure a 400 TX negative and get a contrast reading of grade 0.3 or grade 0.0 and arbitrarily boost (guess) the contrast to grade 1.5 to 2.5 I get a good print. Can anybody explain this?
  2. This is by my 50lux and i put my m6 on the rail to yield the slow shutter speed at this picture.
