Adox 25, Pyrocat HD, and Jobo processing

[Mahler_one]

Has anyone used Pyrocat HD with Adox 25 in the Jobo Expert Drums? If so, might you provide the developing time parameters, the dilution of Pyrocat you used, and the target density of the negatives ( i.e., what process were the negatives to be used to print with ). I intend to try to develop at 75F which MIGHT be too warm for the emulsion. Has anyone developed Adox 25 at 75F, and if so, any guidance?

Thanks.

I routinely develop EFKE 25 at a temperature of 81F with no problems at all.

Pyrocat tans and toughens the emulsion.

I don't use rotary processing. I develop with semi-stand agitation.

I contact print on Silver Chloride paper.

thanks...just curious...do you see a difference in your contact prints that would merit the use of the Adox film?

It appears that you might be assuming that the Adox 25 and Efke 25 films are different. They are the same film distributed slightly differently.

Yes...I am informed that Adox will continue to be manufactured in Germany, and Efke in Croatia. I do not know if the quality of the film differs.
