I don't understand what you mean by stages; but after discussing this with
Ansel, I determined the exposure necessare was three times the 'normal'
reflective light meter reading.
I seem to remember it was a question of exposure, overexposure and reversal
of the overexposure by solarization.
My tests -- since 1968, so this is as good as it gets -- proved the lesser
the over exposure produced crummy negatives. I guess you could say, partial
solarization.
Now, I could probably save those with development by inspection, which I
didn't do then.
Now that you ask, if I understand what you mean by stages; please understand
this is a difference between 1/125th of a second and simply shooting off the
Packard shutter as fast as the 'pin set' with give it. Usually that's 3
times or 1/25th.
If this seems vague and approximate, it is.
