How many exposures per roll by the way? Anyway my experience with manufac. developer times is I don't know if they pick these numbers arbitrarily out of a hat but Agfa if you double them you'll be close. I would average your medium speed films times and shoot your first roll with your Rollei Baby at different distances wide open to check that, test you meter, shoot a resolution thing, a step wedge. That way you can look at that first roll as a valid starting point and you won't feel like you've waisted your time, film or precious shots. You've just gotta kiss that first roll off the best way you can! Mark Rabiner
