I have pushed Polypan to 1600ASA, but it stops developing at 640ASA. It looks like 400 is about the maximum that you will get out of this film.<br /><br />So probably needs more time and or more developer for stand. <br />You'd probably have to try continuous agitation for 90:00 in M for 400.. But that'll start the grain into the unbearable column.. :)Mektar Polypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241241783297021566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432844111261898163.post-91747192082787256202014-01-14T15:01:04.060-05:002014-01-14T15:01:04.060-05:00MDC chart works fine, but stand development @ 400 ...MDC chart works fine, but stand development @ 400 asa in 90 minutes went bad. maybe a lot more time or more developer, depends on experiments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241094138243148728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432844111261898163.post-62373117162078540622013-01-07T07:28:49.797-05:002013-01-07T07:28:49.797-05:00I hope your experiment went alright.

I prefer to use a semi-stand develop. I have done a lot of work with it as a semi-stand now, with TMAX 400, Polypan, Fomapan, and even Ilford FP4+. <br />This is probably my favorite dilution. I even tried it with ORWO UN54+ but sadly, due to a camera malfunction, the film was blank. The film developed, absolutely, as the rebate marks were there, but that was all..<br /><br />Glad you like the dilution, and I hope you have great success with it!
