I think DF96 does a lot better with extended development times. I've compared constant agitation with reduced time, vs minimal agitation with increased times, and the longer times have fewer developer inconsistencies.
Hello Andrew. Thx for your comment! Df96 was the first B&W developer I have ever tried. Loved it. Especially with Ilford HP5+ pushed 1 stop. I’m now giving Xtol a try. But I really loved the simplicity of Df96.
@@mtlvlog I did mine at 95 for 12 minutes. Awesome. I'm glad I watched this first. I guessed 90 because I saw thermometer in video, lol, but wanted to be sure. Thank you
what was the agitation times?
Was it constant?

What temperature and how long?
Hello Lita! I developed for 12 minutes at 90°F because it was Kodak TMax. But any other films would be for 6 minutes.
