I've had good luck at ISO 25, reading mid tones with a spot meter, and developing in XTOL 1:3 for 11 minutes @ 68 degrees.

ISO 25 and develop in 1+50 Rodinol, 10 minutes @ 20 deg.C. Gentle agitation for one minute then 5 sec sevey 30 sec. This is a conbination made in heaven for fine grain, sharp edges, and beautiful scale.

Try shooting at 25asa and develop it with Rodinal 1+50. You will get sharpness results and fine grain.

Try to expose one roll at 12 ASA and develop the film in Rodinal 1+50 for 7 minutes. You will get even finer grain and extremly good grey scale and contrast!
