I just developed my first roll of Kentmere 400 in Xtol 1:1 for 12 minutes with three inversions every 30 seconds for agitation. The 12 minutes I got from the Massive Dev Chart.

The negatives came out a bit denser than I expected. .
Easier said than done. I’m currently shooting and developing but not yet scanning or printing (by any method). I’m getting back into this after too long in the digital doldrums and have not yet decided on a scanning route, the options being fairly bewildering these days and expensive as ever. No darkroom.What would help us to both comment on your 12 mins and your results would be a digital photo of the negs. It would look as if I may need to decrease my development time especially if a minute less at 12 mins is still too dense but your pics of your negs would help
I do have an Olympus E-M10 Mark II and 30 mm f/3.5 macro lens, but how would I hold the negative flat and light it from behind with household objects? I could rig something very crudely if you think that would help.
