Before I found PMK, I experimented with this film in Rodinal and Xtol. I expose it at ASA 25.(posted 8586 days ago)To control highlights in bright, contrasty scenes, I used Rodinal at 1+75 @68deg.F. I would use a stand development and would pour it out just before 5 minutes so that I started rinsing at the 5 minute mark.
For medium contrast scenes, I used Rodinal at 1+50 at 68 deg. F for 6 minutes with 2 flip the canister over agitations every 2 minutes.
For low contrast scenes, I used it at 1+50 at 68 deg. F for 8.5 minutes with agitations every 2 minutes.
I also used Xtol at dilutions of 1+3 and also 1+4 at 68 deg. F. The time for both dilutions was 9.5 minutes with no agitation. These worked well in high contrast situations.
Both developers produced very long tonal ranges for this film but the Rodinal sharpness was slightly better.
I believe that it is easier to obtain good results with Pan F+ than with ASA 25 speed films so people dont need to try all sorts of awkward procedures with it. I wont describe the PMK recommendations for this film because its right out of the manual. But the tonal range and sharpness is unbelievable without modifying anything. You cant burn out highlight detail with PMK. This is my favorite film and developer.
