Or, mix up a Rodinal 1:100 solution, pour it in the tank and let it stand for an hour — short easy agitation at the start, and a shorter gentler agitation 30 minutes in. After a lifetime sweating dilutions and agitation and times and temperatures, I have come to appreciate the simplicity of stand development.
When the light level gets low and I'm running out of film speed I resist the temptation to do push development. I'll reach for the fastest film, fastest lens, and steadiest tripod. Please, anything but underexposure.
That’s tantalising. Where can we find this Hicks and Schulz model?The most sensible, simplest approach I've found is the "15/50" model by Hicks and Schultz (1997). It bypasses most of the theory and gives one a very manageable model to work with. You can argue that it's not accurate, and perhaps it's not, but it is very easy to implement by anyone.

It is from "The Black And White Handbook: The Ultimate Guide To Monochrome Techniques" by Roger Hicks and Frances Schultz (David and Charles, 1997). It's a very sensible textbook for people interested in analog B&W photography. One of the things I like about it is the fact that it takes a common sense approach to a lot of otherwise complex concepts, including N-development. I believe Roger Hicks was a member and contributor at APUG.
