Pete it may be worthwhile to set your film to box speed then 1/3rd stop down, then 1/2 stop down, 2/3rds stop down then 1 full stop down and take 5 pics of the same scene. One of those negatives is almost certain to have the right level of shadow detail which is largely unaffected by development time so develop the whole film at box speed time. Once you have arrived at your E.I. then adjust the development if necessary to get your highlights right. This is the quick, simple and non "through the hoops" mathematical method
Once you have the E.I. right then turn to printing method.
