[Leica] That Harvey 777 (vs. Xtol 1:3)

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard)]

Sigh, I was re-scanning some photos to make 10x16 prints. This year I 
haven't done too much B&W until recently, so I mixed up a batch of 
Xtol. The grain is definitely way excellent in their soup, even for 
Neopan 1600. Mark is right, it's almost like Neopan 1600 is ASA400. 
However, I re-scanned the Harvey 777 developed films and oh man, the 
highlight is to die for. It glows and just go on and on. It's really 
dirty though, I mean the soup have stuff floating in it and digital 
scanning only accentuate the problems :-( I think I will mix up 
another batch though and do diligent to shoot more B&W again, and 
take care to filter the solution frequently.

Any recommendation of how to determine the best development time? I 
guess I should borrow a copy of Adam's "Negatives" eh? :-)
