It keeps saying everywhere that this film can be shot with Xtol at 200 or 400 so I thought I'd give it a shot. I even have two sources of developing times for this and I'm at using a 1:2 dilution. If it needs to be warmer than fine. If I'm able to get a real stop of two shadow speed increase the whole issue gets much more interesting and complicated! Mark Rabiner
