Film Developer times
I usually shoot Kodak T-Mak 100 and develop in Rodinal Special.
The recommendation on the chart is 1+15 for 5 minutes, now if I want to dilute to 1+25 does the time then become 8.3 minutes probably rounded up to 8.5. I arrived at this by dividing the 15 into 300 seconds to give me 20 seconds and then multiplying by 25. Am I right, wrong or just away with the fairies. |

I have no experience of this combo, John but from what I can gather there may not be a linear relationship between times adjusted for ratios.
Hopefully others will know more but I'd wait to see what turns up by way of replies before going ahead with your formula. I am a bit surprised that there isn't a time for Tmax 100 and 1+25 but isn't it always the way that what you want to do is the bit that's missing on the charts. Mike |

I have no experience either, but on a search a couple of people claimed 5.5 mins which seems very short if your already using 5 mins at 1:15.
Do a search in google and you should find what I did Neil |

I checked the time over on the digital-truth website, which recommends the time and dilution for Rodinal-Special to be used exactly the same as Agfa Studional. http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart...nal&mdc=Search I can not find any other dilutions for those developers and not sure about which development time factors for a higher dilution.

Thanks lads,
The main reason I was asking is that I read somewhere that longer development time with reduced dilutions increases contrast in the neg. I've just bought "Creative Black and White Photography" by Les McLean and am going to set up the negative test. There's gonna be some fun times ahead |
