OK, I'll quit pestering people w/ my Mic-X stuff, but I got it figured out w/ this film, so thought I would post it for future reference.
All shots come from a Nikkormat FTn w/ an H 50 2.0 lens w/ a yellow filter. The day was fairly bright, not cloudy. It was developed for 8:40 minutes @ 68 degrees at full strength. Agitation scheme was Tr-X (30 seconds gentle agitation, 2 inversions every 30 seconds thereafter, none the last minute). The one thing I failed to note was the camera's actual shutter speeds vs what it says on the camera because my shutter tester is not working right now. From past experience, I would guess it's probably running 1/2 stop to 1 stop slow on the speeds that these were shot at. The darker and sharper pics were shot at 100 ISO, and the lighter shots at 25. This film normally likes to be shot at 50 (25 w/ a Y. fltr), but not w/ this developer at full strength. Normally you would get an almost lith look at 100 ISO w/ a yellow filter in D76 or other developers. I'm going to order some of this film in 120 format because it should be ultra smooth w/o any grain at all.
On the last 2 shots. the only exposure I made of the bike wheel was at 100 ISO. The mailbox was shot at 12 ISO w/ a red filter. It looks pretty good. So I would say shoot it at 100 w/ a yellow filter. Not sure w/ a red one, as the other two shots I took w/ that filter at 12 ISO didn't turn out this well. It may call for more exposure in brightly lit scenes.
