You could also dilute the dev with more water to lower the contrast, but since you don't actually have a roll to play with. There's an idea though. If what you shot is really important, shoot another test roll the same and develop it first. Adjust according to results. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography, http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits
