The result was excellent. > >Nathan > Nathan, What iso rating did you use? 5 mins is what Kodak recommend for iso 12, and I generally find Kodak's times to be on the low side, at least for my agitation which is 10 secs per minute. Also I like the negatives a bit harder for my diffused light enlarger. Does prewet mean that you can reduce the developing time? Or why do you do it? Always, or just for short development times in order to ensure even development? I have got good results with APX 25 developing 8 mins for iso 50 and 11 mins for iso 100, all xtol 1+1 at 68° and agitating 10 sec per minute. However, I have not done any zone system type exposure series followed by density measurements, but I will do that one day... How did your relationship with DDX develop (no pun intended)? Some time ago you said DDX might become your standard developer. Chris
