Thanks for you kind comments Bernard

Apo Sironar N 210/5.6, HP5+ in D23
Kirk plse clarify: one teaspoonful or one tablespoonful per quart of water? I think you meant to write tablespoonful.
You may want to consider, as part of this discussion, which enlarging lens you use.
That’s Parry Yob, he wrote in the 70’s.
I use his darkroom safe light with dimmer switch, very good.
You can find him in abe books

I use a few different paper developers, sometimes mix them in different ratios. Not sure how to determine the preferred developing time. Suggestions appreciated, thanks!
