- If by "well-saturated" you mean "normally exposed", this runs contrary
- to my experience. I find when viewing lens chart tests on B&W film on
- a microscope, I can read them most easily when I push the film a lot,
- resulting in maximum contrast. I'm currently shooting Tech Pan at 800
- and developing for 12 minutes in HC110B, or FP4 at 3200 and developing
- for 10 minutes in D19. The most common problem I've had is too much
- exposure of the black bars causing them to run together with the white
- separating region. Disclaimer: these film ratings are based on the
- guide numbers of my Vivitar 283 flash, and I haven't checked them against
- metered readings. 125 lp/mm for Tech Pan seems about right (now if
- I could just find a lens that would match it ...).
