Paul,(posted 8613 days ago)welcome to rotary processing. you must jump off the ledge. experiment, play, embrace risk. it really doesn't matter what John or Daniel say, as your results will be unique. I have a stack of 4x5 films a foot thick, of all emulsions in most all developers. this is exciting, to find what works for you. which film, which developer, lights up the light table and glows. you will know when you discover it. it might not surface at first, but you will catch a glimpse. you will see that quality that electrifies. if only a minute more development, slight slower film speed.
for me, it was TMax TMX and TMY in Xtol or TMax RS. it felt right and the negatives levitated off the table. it took great amounts of experimentation, film, and developer .. but I found that resonance.
I wish you the same.
