APH09 and Classic Pan 400 8x10

[karl burke]

I'm intending to process 8x10 Classic Pan 400 in a Jobo 3005 drum with Adolux APH09 - does anyone have any idea as to a good starting point for times/dilutions at 20 degrees ? This is my first venture into 8x10, prior to this I was developing 4x5 TMY in a smaller Jobo drum in HC-110 with great results.

thanks,

Karl

For the record....

To reply to myself, I used 14min./20C. at 1+40 dilution, based on Fotoimpex's recommendation of 13-15 minutes, with Agefix 1+7 with Tetenal hardener for 8 minutes. The drum was filled and rotated manually on the Jobo roller base(I seem to average maybe 30 rpm). I found the best results for filling the tank quickly and smoothly without liquid bubbling out of the top were given by tilting the tank while filling at maybe 30 degrees from vertical.

At first glance the results seem good. I'll post again if I need to change anything from the above outline.
