I just got some PMK to develop some 5 x 7 sheets in tank/hangers. I shot the film at asa 25 and am curious about where to start on developing time/ strength? I see the MassDev Chart says 11min for 40 asa @ 1+2+100. I also read that I should double my development for Salt printing. So, should I do 22 min?s or 1+2+50 instead? Or just do 11-ish?.....Ideas?
Digging around on the net for answers on this has made me glaze over at this point!
Thanks
Greg

I shoot at rated speed and develop in PMK 1+2+50 for 10 minutes at 20c. Or when I rate at iso 50 I develop for 8 minutes. I use rotary method for processing. You will have to experiment to see what works for you personally for the methods you print.
