Great combination and very, very convenient to soup it up. I shoot the film at EI 320 and 800 and develop @ 68F in dilution H 1:63 for 9-9.5m and 13-13.5m respectively. Agitation for 30 sec. and then just one nice, gentle twisty inversion every 2 minutes. Nice looking tones, good grain and sharp negatives. I picked up on the combo from some fans over on PhotoNet's B&W development forum. And IMHO they were right - it's a formula that works quite well.
