How long before the big event?

The expected date is March 02
I should have the time to test Delta 3200 (which I am going to buy later today from my local shop). The only problem is with Microphen: I only have a new 1L package to mix, which was the last one on the shelf of the only shop I know around here which sells Microphen
Using it stock, I will be able to process not more than 3 rolls: 1 more test and 2 left for the birth.

Donald isn't saying that reducing development time will increase shadows. You expose more to get more shadows, but then you have to reduce dev time to compensate for the increased exposure in the highlights (or you'll blow them out).

Ok then, maybe he meant prevent highlight blocking and not shadows in his post
