General notes

1time for Jobo rotary tube processor
2Speed ratings in parenthesis() are for indoor tungsten lighting. Use the higher ASA for all natural light applications.
3Times listed here refer to development of Gigabitfilm in its own chemistry. The 1+9 dilution is recommended for gamma 0.5. The 1+11 is intended to produce more contrast at gamma 0.65. The manufacturer's instructions suggest agitation of one inversion every 20 seconds.
