Re: Lith film and development

We use lith film in the non-silver classes at UB. You can achieve normal
tonal range with very diluted dektol. Normal dilution paper developer will
not provide a full tonal range but will produce a greatly compressed tonal
scale. i've had good results with 1:5 dilutions, but i have seen people get
better results with 1:8 even 1:10. the weaken the solution the more gray
scale you'll get, but the longer you have to leave it in the developer.

I can elaborate if you want. (P:
