Ayup...what Mark said goes for me, too.  In fact, I'm getting ready to run 8
rolls in that exact combo.  :)  Mark's my mentor in this.  I've started with
his times, and they're working for me, so I haven't ventured off his times
too much.  When all my chemicals were at 68 F, I used 13 minutes instead of
heating them up 2 degrees.  Now that it's a bit colder, my chemicals are
closer to 65, so I'm heating them up to 70 and using the 12 minute time.

I'm shooting *way* stopped down, though.  My fastest lens is a 35/2.  :)
