its been a long time since I've shot it, but gonna shoot the remainder of my plus-x stash this month while on vacation in sunny mexico. i looked through my notes but cant find any developer info for that film. so i need some times and exposure ratings if anyone has used plus-x in 35mm and 120 with:
pyrocat-hd
beutler
rodinal.
my main developer is pyro and i do a few films in beutler. i have rodinal so i can use that. i also have bulk chems to mix up almost any other developer if needed, so if D76 is the king than so be it.
thanks!

thanks bill. I have the kodak PDF and massive only has rodinal and the times for shooting at 125 seem way off. i've never needed to double my time if i go from a 1+25 to a 1+50 dilution change, hence my question.
plan to print these on a condenser enlarger if that matters.

I use stand developing with Rodinal.
For me, I use 6 ml of Rodinal plus 600 ml of water for 35mm film. Develop 60 minutes at 68 degrees. Agitate at the beginning snd again at 30 minutes. It's more than needed but gives me negatives at a dnsity I like.

I don't use Rodinal for high speed films as the results are too grainy for my tastes.

7 min D76 1:1 for condenser enlarger. 68 degrees.
Leica 2 part 3 min 3 min will give very fine grain. Do not use with new Plus X
Rodinal 1:1 used to work for me
Microdol 1:3 in the 60`s
But I keep coming back to D76

I would agree with Ronald M and at least do some rolls in D-76 1:1 a true standard classic. I had a large donated batch of early 1980's Plus-X in 120 PXP and it seemed best with older classic MQ formulas or HC-110. I settled on DK-50 1:1

well i assume its the new plus-x. the 220 rolls exp 2006 and the bulk roll 35mm exp date is 2012.
was hoping to do it in pyro-hdc as it will be travel picts, so high contrast with sun and shadows. but seems like mixing up a batch of D76 is in my future.
thanks!
