Development times for Medium Format

from Frank (fa@alvaroedwards.com.au)
I have finally made the plunge into medium format. Over the last 2 years or so, I have noticed some references in this forum in developing MF films. That is, assuming all things are equal (eg. film, exposure, developer, etc) I recall that there was some suggestion that if a given 35mm film is exposed and developed a certain way, it does not necessarily follow that the same parameters apply when developing the equivilant 120 film; I recall some suggestion that the development time for the MF film needs to be adjusted somewhat.

Is this so? If yes, is there a starting point at which one can begin the testing process (eg. If I have certain combination in 35mm that works well for me, do you vary any factor in the MF process, eg. increase the MF development by say 10%?). And importantly, if there is such an adjustment required, can someone explin the basis of this necessity please.

Many thanks in advance!
