>>4420436I did do test strips but the problem still remains of the contrast being all over the place. I have some graded paper and its kind of all over the place. I will try changing a couple variables(including dev time) as i can't find info on what times work well with my combination.
Anyways picrel is a grade lower and came out fine even though its the same film with the same lighting. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Higher grade = more contrast? I used the same dev time but the low contrast paper has hard contrast while the high contrast one has less and is darker? Definitely need to check for fog although it was sealed until now.
Also these are phone photos.
