 I've been a black and white silver photographer for over four decades.
 In that time, I've worked with a large number of films and developers,
 eventually settling down on a few combinations that worked well for

   As a practical matter, there is no reason to do Stand over Semistand
   or EMA.  Both of the latter techniques give good results.

   different manufacturers.  If you are going to do 35mm or 120 this
