I went to www.digitaltruth.com for the answer but it seems like they don't have that combo.

6 days on Mars (because of the extra red sensitivity).

Hey Tom, I have the Ilford Product Data guide, printed 1/99, they suggest:

SFX200 (ei200) XTOL stock= 10min., 1:1= 14.5min., 1:2= 18.5min.

SFX200 (ei400) XTOL stock= 12.5min., 1:1= 17.5min., 1:2= 21.5min.

SFX200 (ei800) XTOL stock= 15.5min., 1:1= 22min., 1:2= 25.5 min.

All at 68*f

I hope this keeps its formatting, if it gets F'd-up, email me and I'll put together a spreadsheet for ya.

Now why the hell didn't I think of that? I just picked one up last week. Thanks, Robert, that's just what I needed, a wake up call... t

Cool! You hear that DAMN ringing too..... I thought I was the only one!

Back to SFX, I've just started experimenting in 120 with the stuff, and using Ilfosol S [because I had a few new containers of the stuff]. So far, a pretty decent look. All mixed lighting, with either a #11 or #22 filter, rated at ei100 + filter factor. I'm going to try PMK as soon as I get up the nerve.

Keep us posted with results.

Will do Robert. And Roberto, and very cool site you gave me, thanks very much, it's now on my favorites list... t

And what are 11 and 22? I've always stuck with the wratten 25 deep red or, with sheet film HIE, used the 87c, which is so dark red it appears black...t
