Acros sheet & D-76 info required

[Peter Black]

Having come back from holiday with a mixture of FP4+, Wephota NP22 sheet and Acros in 120 and Quickload, I thought I'd dev them all in D-76 without problems. Well things have been fine for all except the sheet Acros, where the only time I can find is 5.25mins @24C with stock D-76 (Massive Dev Chart figure) since Fuji don't seem to list sheet data now.

Given that I'd normally reduce times as I'm using a Paterson Orbital with continuous agitation, that would take the time below 5 mins and I'd prefer not to do that. D-76 at 1+1 for the 120 Acros is 10.5 mins @ 20C, and this would be a better time for me, although I'm taking it that there must be real differences between sheet Acros and the 120? Your thoughts and experiences would be most welcome!

Use the information provided by Fuji for the time and temperature for D-76 1:1. Kodak`s times for 100 T-Max in a rotary tube processor (which is continuous) is the same as those for small-tanks, so I doubt that you will need to reduce the time much, if at all.

Thanks Keith, I tried it with the figures for 120 and they have come out pretty well. I might fine tune the times for the future once I've scanned them as the 5x4s are less contrasty than the 120 negs I also did today.

Thanks again, Peter
