Apart from the massive development chart, does anyone have times for Ilford's SFX film developed in Studional (Rodinal Special) at 1:30

Thanks,
Peter

The Agfa chart says 4' at 20˚ EI 125

(1+15 from concentrate, gamma .65,
agitation every 30 seconds)

I've always found Studional loves higher dilution.

And of course gamma=0.65 is pretty steep for most pictorial work. Looks like some extra dilution would be especially in order here!

I haven't used this combination, but SFX doesn't like overdevelopment in my opinion. It seems to get rough looking fairly easily.

Well I developed a roll last night for 10 minutes at 1:30, with agitation every minute. The negs look pretty good so its a starting point. I metred at box speed of 200ASA and added 5 stops for the SFX filter.
