Sandy,
I don't know what contrast level you were trying to get, but I've found BPF
responded well to D-76 rotary development with plenty of contrast for
platinum printing. Base fog was quite good--less than HP5 but not as thin as
TXT or FP4. But this does not give the crossover negative Manuel is looking
for.
Once again I'll mention that I'm getting excellent results from the 'mystery
film' sold by PhotoWarehouse. It quacks like FP4 and develops beautifully in
PMK. I don't know if they ship overseas.---Carl
