.. and guess what, i was. i found some ilford developer i could date to
approx 2001 that rendered _much_ better results than the neutol. so i'm
sure that's the culprit. (the ilford developer even worked on pre-2k
paper great)
i'll go trade in the shot developer later, then i'll have lots of (old,
but ok, and new) paper and developer to learn a bit more about the final
print.
i have to admit, the last few days changed the way i look at scenes
searching for a good shot. i learned a lot already, can't wait to learn
more! :)
