I've been thinking of developing kentmere in Ordinal, using 'stand development' Has anyone got any thoughts/ experience of this technique?

While you've been thinking about it, what reasons have occurred to you for using stand development rather than a more orthodox development?
Is there something you particularly hope to gain from using stand development?

If you have a quick search of the forum for threads about stand development, by the way, you will find rather a lot. It is a subject that generates quite a lot of discussion. Here's a recent one: https://www.photrio.com/forum/index.php?threads/strange-marks-with-rodinal-stand-processing.153720/

Try a roll by the book and see if you like the contrast.

K400 @200 isn't super grainy. Even in Rodinal. I'm surprised it is not listed in digitaltruth chart which I'm only using to determine my developing parameters since 2012.
So, I would still use it as reference. 1+25 400 is 7.5. For 200 I'll keep it for 6.5.
