Response to HP5+ in XTOL

> I need the extra speed

OK, if you really need EI 800 you'll have to accept the increased contrast you get with HP5 in Xtol.

I suggest a developer that gives a little more speed with normal contrast. The "real" speed in the following developers is EI 640 when the film is developed to "normal" contrast.

HP5+ in Microphen 1:1

7'/75F EI 640 8'15"/75F EI 1000

HP5+ in DD-X 1:9

7'/75F EI 640

HP5+ in DD-X 1:4

9'/75F EI 1600

If you can stand the increased graininess:

Delta 3200 in Microphen (straight) 7'/75F EI 2000.
