EI 200, (with medium yellow filter), ID-11 (1:1) at recommended time minus 10%. Nice scans and easy prints for daylight/ slightly overcast days. I push to 1600 with T-max dev or ID-11 straight adjusting time/ agitation depending on the scene contrast. If you want to geek out... You may want to shoot a 'Shirley' under different lighting conditions to test a developer to which you have easy access, bracket three stops and process at recommended box time/ temp. to see what will make your life easy and produce the results you are looking for! Woo hoo, have fun!
