Fujifilm B&W film question

"The troll only knows 35mm film, he only uses a condenser head
and only advocates using grade 3 as a baseline contrast filtration."

That's because by trial and error this has proved itself....

Greetings;

"Trial end error" has proven 35mm film to be better than 120 6 x 7 for
example? This defies even logic!

"Trial and error" has proven use of grade 3 as a baseline for all things
photographic? Same comment.

Michael, why not go and earn some serious money by advising all of the
photo/film companies to immediately drop anything else except grade 3
paper and 35mm film. I'm sure they would be amazed by your in-depth
vision of the realities of the requirements of the photographic process.

Not what I said.

Minor White, Zone System Manual:

"With roll film use the #3 contrast grade of enlarging paper, or its
equivalent. With sheet film standardize on the #2 medium contrast
grade." (p. 74)

"As was said the #2 contrast grade of projection paper is standard
with sheet film and the #3 with roll film. The first is chosen because
its contrast is midway between the harder and softer contrast grades.
The #3 contrast grade is consistent with the general practice for small
negatives." (p. 77)

Now, what were you saying?

No, I didn't say that.

No, for roll film.

I quote:

"With roll film use the #3 contrast grade of enlarging paper, or its
equivalent. With sheet film standardize on the #2 medium contrast
grade." (p. 74)

"As was said the #2 contrast grade of projection paper is standard
with sheet film and the #3 with roll film. The first is chosen because
its contrast is midway between the harder and softer contrast grades.
The #3 contrast grade is consistent with the general practice for small
negatives." (p77)
