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...

The most important lesson that I came away with (apart from the need

its full time in the developer.  I had been getting muddy dark tones
and off-whites, probably through taking the print out when it
*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.
