<p> purchased a couple packages of this to give it a go in my 5x7. I spent an amazing amount of time sifting through all the advice and guidance and debate across many many forums and websites and in the end was more confused than ever. Well, I determined last night to just take a photo. I've documented this on my blog <a href="https://allaspectsphotography.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">https://allaspectsphotography.wordpress.com</a> complete with photos, step by step process etc and the photo I made. It's way too much to put here. I hope it proves useful. <br /><br />I will summarize the essentials though:<br /><br />ISO 6 shot at f5 at 2 seconds. <br /><br />Dektol @ 1+30, @ 68F. I think that giving the negative time in the developer is key. I also think that intermittent agitation is the way to go. A stand development approach might prove fruitful.<br /><br />STOP: was water, tap water, and it comes out of the cold side mid 60s. Around 3 minutes here. I agitated constantly.<br /><br />FIXER: was Kodak Rapid Fix. I fixed until the negative cleared. This ended up being for around 4 minutes. I agitated constantly.</p>
