NOTE: For KB 100 I'm using two agitation patterns to see how density is changed:
(x) = Continuous 15 seconds, then 3 inversions in 5 seconds every 60 seconds. (2x) = Continuous 15 seconds, then 3 inversions in 5 seconds every 45 seconds.
Development Stats: Two reel stainless steel tank, inversion and twist agitation.
1. Pre-wet 2 min, water at 20c. 2. Develop Beutler Formula 1:1:10. 3. Stop with water 20c, four dumps. 4. Fix 5 min, medium agitation first 30 sec then for 10 sec every subsequent 30 seconds. 5. Wash 15 min 20c 6. Photo flow 30 sec 7. Hang dry
Densitometry - Measurements taken from center of negative using Macbeth TD-502.
Best development times for ASA 100 in Beutler as per data:
(x = In = 25) Continuous 15 seconds then 2 inversions in 5 seconds every 60 seconds.
