I'm bored with my usual film developer so I've had a read of my copy of The Film Developing Cookbook and decided that I'd like to try Vestals Divided D-76 with the modifications recommended by the authors. I develop my sheet film using constant agitation.
I have a few issues.
Mixing temperatures?
Developing temperatures?
Should I pre wash the film (even though Ilford advise against it with their films)?
I usually use my present developer diluted but as a one shot, could I get away with doing this with divided D-76?
5 minutes in each bath is recommended, any variations?
Any other advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete.
