Hello. If anyone out there has indulged in experimentation with these two films and Xtol I would be interested in your results re: EI versus development time/temp. for 135 and 120. Many thanks in advance.

P.S. If anyone has any other recommendations for film stock with Xtol I would love to hear about them.

I shoot 120 Tmax 100 at EI 100 and develop in Xtol 1+3 about 10% longer than Kodak recommends. I print on a dichroic enlarger with Agfa Multicontrast Premium RC.

I've developed HP5+ in XTOL 1:3 at 20 degrees e.i. 200 for the times Kodak recomends for e.i. 400. Negs of people in open shade type lighting print well on MGIV FB with no filtration from my diffusion color head.

120 was processed in a steel tank. 4x5 processed in tubes. The times are different (as Kodak recomends!) for these two different agitation styles!
