I got an email about this from Freestyle and while I am normally pretty content to let a lab develop my film, I watched the intro video and thought "should I be doing this?"
I'm curious if anybody has the AGO Film Processor - it changes development time based on temperature (which it reads).
This video might shed some light on the primary function of temperature compensation via extended development time. Fast forward is your friend. I’m guessing that it is mainly E-6 that requires such iron clad control of temperature, but it is relevant to a lesser degree with C-41 and mostly a non issue with B&W. Assumptions and methods can be challenged, but general conclusion is likely sound.
