ABSTRACT
Chapter 11 DOCUMENT FILMS 35mm and 120 roll film users have been known to seek ways to rival large format quality. One of the best is to use high contrast document films. Document films are slow, ultra sharp, ultra fine grain, ultra-high contrast emulsions. Yet when processed in special low contrast develop ers, they can produce negatives that have almost normal gradation with amazingly fine grain and high sharpness. They can rival the grain and sharpness of large format films, even though they can never possess the microtonal subtleties which keep large format popular. Nevertheless, truly spectacular results can be achieved with document films at enlargements of 20X or more.
