For scanning Legacy Pro 100 ASA (Acros?) 135. I would like to maximize contrast and sharpness, w/o graininess. Anyone have a favorite developer and process?
Thanks,
Gerry

Thanks, Rose. I kind of thought that from your posts. I've never used it, but will order some from Freestyle today.

Pretty simple you load them presoak you film for 5 minutes. You them mix your Rodinal 1-100 at 20-21C. You dump out the water pour in the Rodinal and agitate it for 30 seconds. Sit the film tank down and read a book. after one hour dump stopbath or water rinse then fix as normal.
