Developing Agfapan 25 in Diafine - any tips?

[ITKI]

..like it says in the title.

A friend gave me a quite dated roll of Agfapan 25, always wondered what I'm going to do with it, when opportunity presented itself on a very foggy morning after a storm the other day.

I shot it at box speed, am going to tank-develop this in Diafine - not sure how exactly though.
Anybody got any tips / experience?

Thank you in advance!

Unlike other developers, Diafine is pretty cut and dry in terms of how to process it. Time is three minutes in each bath (adding time doesn't do much) and it works consistently over a wide range of temperatures (within reason). So what specifically are you thinking?

Yea I don't know.
Pretty much all films but Neopan 100 and T-Max 100 should be developed 3:3 if you believe the official table;
I just though maybe it's a slightly different story with film that's older than usual and slower than usual..

I know from personal experience that cranking up the temperature (to like 85F) increases density. Also, I've used it with Pan F+ (a slow film). I got good results, but didn't notice any significant compensating effects. Sounds like you might have to experiment.

..will do!

Thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated!
