John Sexton, former assistant to A.A., has said he prefers 1:9, but goes as
high as 1:15. And he says that even that dilute, you don't have to double
up (two rolls in a full four reel tank) like other developers. It has real
staying power. Don't remember the times, but he's on Compuserve. Might try
to find him there in the Photoforum and get his dev. times. He's a really
nice guy.
