I wonder whether readers could advise me how to improve contrast when using
old Kodak or other lenses on colour negative film. This arises because a
friend just tried my 203mm Ektar and compared the result with his next
negative taken with the latest Schneider apo XL lens. The Schneider gave a
much more contrasty result, as you would hope, in view of the price. With
monochrome negative you could extend development or use a harder grade of
paper to gain contrast. I suspect this does not arise with colour negative
but there might be a more contrasty negative or slide film one could use.
