I'm metering at 320 (to be safe) and developing for 5 1/2 minutes in a 1:1 solution of Xtol at 68 deg. F. in a Jobo. That's a 20% reduction from the time recommended by Kodak. That change, with my setup, has made my Leica negatives out of a gamut of lenses and bodies (IIIc to R8) a lot easier to print. Roy On 12 Oct 98 at 20:40, Mary & Stan Kephart wrote: > I agree.
