Same here! I don't do many expansions/contractions of my film nowadays, but back when I did I preferred something a bit different from your standard ZS expansions (hardly ever did contractions.) For example, I'd develop for N+1 1/2 vs the normal N+1. I always thought that an N+1 was no different than moving up a paper grade, whereas the N+1 1/2 gave me an option between paper grades. Nowadays, with VC papers I don't find nearly as much need to modify film development.
