Good (in that we agree ;-). But why did my teachers at school (High
School equivalent for you chaps over there) not tell me that
development time was so important?
Mind you, the few prints that I still have from then (1971/2) were
developed OK...

*looked* right.
On that we agree. My development goes pretty much by the book. I
prefer to keep my printing variability limited to exposure, and
contrast at the developer.
