There were two articles published on the use of low contrast developers which rate this 35mm film at ASA 32 (one appeared in Popular Photography Feb 81, and the other in Peterson's Mar 82.) I've tried the developer recommended in Peterson's, and can't seem to get evenly developed negatives with the stated development time of 2 minutes when the film is rated at ASA 32. Has anyone tried using the developer given in the Feb 81 article ? This film is capable of producing 35mm negatives which enlarge to 11 by 14 (and larger) without ANY noticeable grain, enlargements that have sharpness and grain characteristics similar to those produced from much larger negative formats of Kodak's standard Plus-X, Tri-X, or even Panatomic-X. Any comments on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Fran Corrado at Cornell
