Adox/Efke 100 Development Times w/ Xtol

[mhanc]

I am looking for a starting point development time for 120 format Adox CHS 100 rated at 100 using xtol 1+1. This is my normal developer [one-shot] and I just want to keep things consistent.

From the massive dev chart I see 8-9 min for xtol stock solution @ 68F. I assume agitation is 10 sec. each minute.

Anyone have a starting time for xtol 1+1? Any feedback on the above dev time for xtol stock would be welcome too. Thanks!!

Usually the times listed in the MDC are someones tried and true favorites, and should be used only as a starting point for your own use. You should always work up a film/time/temp for your personal preference.

For a given film, development time in XTOL is remarkably close to development time for D-76. If you don't have anything more definitive from the manufacturer, use the development time for D-76. It's an excellent starting point from which to determine the development time that works for you.
