I thought I'd try increasing development time of XP2 in HC-110 to shift the histograms of my scans towards the middle. This is ten minutes in 1+49 rather than the usual eight.

The little Downy Woodpecker has a very regular sort of mind:

Both H500c, Sonnar 150/4, XP2, HC-110, X1 scans.
 
As vaguely promised a week or two ago (I posted some pull processed XP2 in the TLR forum), I have continued to abuse XP2. Today's effort was to expose it at 1600 and guess the development time, and since yesterday, I used 10 minutes for ISO400, I used the rule of thumb that a 1/3 increase in time compensates for 1 stop of underexposure, and developed this for 18 minutes in 1+49 HC-110. I am amazed at the lack of grain!

It looks like 3200 might be possible if I can bring myself to sit and agitate each minute for 24 minutes!

That's pretty awesome for 1600!
