There is a chemical to treat the negatives to reduce their density. It is called "?????'s reducer". You can buy it from a specialist photo-store, was it "Farmers Reducer" or a name like that? I think it contains some really nasty compounds. Hold on ! I'll look it up in my "Ilford Manual of Photography".

This Xmas, after my wife and I had lunch (and a few glasses of wine) I ran out of color film, so I stuck a roll of Ilford HP5 in my camera and starting shooting away. Due to the wine effects some of my shots came over exposed... 2 to 3 EVs (guesstimate) and they look almost as white squares in the contact print. My question is how to print them. high or low contrast paper? Energetic or mild developer? Any ideas? Also I used the TTL setting in my Metz 300 series flash with a SCA 346/2 adapter (Nikon AF). I bought the adapter used so I don;t have a manual for it and I assume that all it does is convey the info between camera and flash. Does anyone have a manual SCA 346/2 that could copy for me? Thanks and happy holidays!!!
