Re: darkroom negs./ digital negs.
After I use up most of my frozen stock on a couple of long road trips next
month, I plan to buy some Bergger. Any recommendations on a good starting EI?
I've heard that BPF200 at 100 works quite well. Also, what developer did you use?
Thanks,
Pam
PS John Horowy of Bergger has been habiting the rec.photo.equipment.large-format
newsgroup lately. We're trying to convince him to do some of the testing with
developers and such, publish it on his web site.
