DK-50 times

I have acquired some Kodak DK-50 which I would like to use with my Arista 100

film. I checked on the massive development chart and there is no recommendation

for development times. Usually I use Kodak T-Max 1:4 and find that this

film/developer pairing allows me to push and pull very well. Can I keep these

same characteristics with the DK-50? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Test using DK50 1:1, it was designed for thick emulsions and as the films got better, the dilute version tended to be more useful.

DK-50 is one of my favorite developers. I have found the times for D-76 1:1 and DK-50 1:3 are very similar. It's a good starting point. The times I use are

 

Arista 50 / Panf+ 50 asa DK-50 1:1 5 minutes

 

Arista 50 / Panf+ 50 asa DK-50 1:3 9 minutes

 

Plus-X Old 125asa DK-50 1:3 12 minutes

 

Agfapan 100 100 asa DK-50 1:3 18 minutes

 

TMax-100 100 asa DK-50 1:3 15 minutes

 

TMax-400 400 asa DK-50 1:3 18 minutes

 

Tri-X old 320 asa DK-50 1:3 17 minutes

Follow all processing times designated for Kodak T-Max Developer using Kodak DK-50 1:1 and you'll NEVER go wrong.
