Does anyone have any experience with this combination? Times, agitation, etc...
If anyone can give me an idea of what to expect with this combination.
Thanx

Whatever times you come up with, cut them by 30% or increase dilution by 50%. Most development times you will find around are excessive.

The problem is that i don't have any time to begin with. I couldn't find any recommendations for this combination.

They are on the Tetenal site. But I urge you to cut them back substantially:

Try 1+9 for 5 minutes to start.

But in any event I would not bother with Pan-F. Fujifilm Acros is about a stop faster and just as fine-grained.

It's not Pan-F, it is Pan 400 http://www.photopoint.ee/images/product ... -21825.//jpg// , and there is nothing about it on Ilford or Tetenal website.

Then start with times for HP5 and go from there. This is elementary. Trial and error.
