Nathan, I have just been experimenting with Tech Pan in Pattersons Accutol,
dilution 1:20 for 10 minutes at 20C. Agitate every minute for 5-8 sec. Better
tonal range than the Technidol and less prone to blowing the highlights too.
Same type of grain as Technidol ( or lack of grain). Not very forgiving, you
have to be right on with the exposure. I also have a recipe for running
TechPan at 160 asa, homemade developer but works in low contrast situation.
